3. Harry McKay

The 24-year-old tall forward really found himself last season, stepping his game up to a whole new level. The Blues spearhead put up outstanding numbers every week for Carlton, and has established himself as one of the Blues'ย most impressive players in what was otherwise a fairly disappointing season.

McKay led the league in goals per game with an average of 3.1, scoring 58 goals throughout 2021.

The massive haul earned the Carlton forward the Coleman Medal for the season, beating out the likes of Geelongโ€™s Tom Hawking and Brisbaneโ€™s Charlie Cameron
