4. Sam Walsh
Sam Walsh is one of the most exciting midfielders in the AFL. At just 21-years of age, the Blues gun is one of the youngest A-Graders in the competition, averaging 29.8 disposals in 2021.
Walsh has stood up in the Blues midfield whilst captain Patrick Crippsย fights through injuries troubles. With the addition of Adam Cerra and a fit Cripps, Walsh could have the support around him to continue his meteoric growth.
