9. Joe Daniher
Finished the year with 61 goals from 26 games as he helped lead the Lions to a grand final finish, with Daniher contributing to the goalkickers column in all three of Brisbane's finals appearances.
Daniher booted at least one goal in 22 games this year and would kick multiple majors on 19 occasions to sit among the top five goalkickers for 2023.
Playing a high role up the field, Daniher recorded more disposals than any other key forward this year and would average 14.9 possessions per game to sit third in the competition among the same group.
