10. Darcy Parish
The Bombers' Darcy Parish had a breakout season in 2021, where he was awarded the ANZAC Day Medal and broke his way into the All-Australian side for the first time.
The top 10 draft pick averaged 30.5 disposals over his 2021 campaign and truly showed his worth, with Essendon swooping on his signature with a new contract extension.
