With the new year upon us and all 18 clubs getting stuck into the thick of the pre-season, itโs time to remind ourselves who are the front-runners in each position across the competition.

1. Max Gawn
Topping our list is none other than the man mountain that is Max Gawn. The 29-year-old had a fantastic year for the Dees, getting himself another All-Australian blazer and even more plaudits for his dominant performances.
In a year tainted by the global pandemic, Gawn was ranked first for hit-outs per game and put up elite level numbers in disposals per game (15.9), hit-outs to advantage per game (10.6) and intercept marks per game (1.9) for a ruckman.
