2. Dustin Martin

Lloyd said: "Norm Smith medallist 2017 and 2019, a goalkicker. Midfielders these days don't kick enough goals, and it's the damage Dusty does out of the goalsquare which puts the fear in opposition defenders. You don't know what sort of player to put on him, he's just so explosive. Kicked four goals in the 2019 Grand Final when the Giants couldn't kick many themselves."
