6. Logan Morris (NEW)
The Lions youngster has held his spot in Chris Fagan's side since a last-minute QClash debut in Round 8 that followed a VFL appearance the same day for Brisbane.
Since then, the Werribee Districts product has been a consistent contributor in the front half of the field, booting eight goals in five games while also averaging five score involvements in each outing.
Friday's performance against the Western Bulldogs was arguably Morris' best at the top level, recording 12 disposals, five marks, one goal, two goal assists, six score involvements and seven contested possessions in the win.
