With a number of big-name players moving clubs, AFL legend Matthew Lloyd has named his top five players who will make the biggest impact at their new clubs in 2021.
When talking on AFL Trade Radio, Lloyd spoke about St Kilda forward Dan Butler, who he believes had the biggest impact at his new club this year.
Butler joined the Saints after leaving the Tigers in last year's trade period and finished in the top three in the club's best and fairest count.
โToday itโs about the biggest impact of all the players that have been traded. I know some of these deals havenโt gone through yet,โ Lloyd toldย AFL Trade Radio.
โDan Butler may have been the biggest impact player from last yearโs trade period, so itโs about who I believe will have the biggest impact for their club in 2021.
โSome good players have been left out. Iโve left out Josh Dunkley, Iโve left out Adam Treloar, Iโve left out Isaac Smith, Iโve left out Ben Brown, but these are the players I believe will have the biggest impact.โ
5. Zac Williams (Carlton)
โNumber five is the most speculative of them all. I say speculative because Iโm not sure just how good this guy is, but I canโt wait to see him at a big Victorian club and see how he goes.โ
โIโm going to back him in across the midfield and halfback. I thin heโll possibly play both roles, but it would be great for Carlton if he can be a real impact clearance player.
โHe had 10 clearances and was bet on ground against Collingwood in a Prelim, so it just shows what heโs capable of and heโll get those opportunities.โ
