2. Nat Fyfe

The two-time Brownlow medallist has starred in a consistently underwhelming Dockers side for the best part of a decade.

His all-round prowess is a joy to watch, and the 29-year-old still has a few years left in his prime. In season 2020, Fyfe finished with elite numbers for average contested possessions, intercept possessions, contested marks and stoppage clearances.

In a youthful Fremantle side who look to be on their way up, it will be up to the champion to set the standards for the youngsters.
