Tom Lynch (Richmond)

Kicking a team-high 54 goals for the third-placed Tigers automatically makes Lynch a major snub.

Not to mention he finished third in the Coleman and ranked second in the league for total contested marks and marks inside 50.

It's easy to say he was the beneficiary of Richmond's good play - Lynch was a genuine game-changer for this team. With Jack Riewoldt playing just the 10 games this season, it's hard to envision Richmond finishing in the top four if not for Lynch's good work.
