Melbourne’s captain and eight-time All-Australian remains one of the league’s most dominant ruckmen, consistently giving his midfielders first use and leading by example around the ground. The Premiership skipper added a third Keith ‘Bluey’ Truscott Memorial Trophy to his name in 2025 and continued to climb the record books, now ranking third all-time in AFL history for hit-outs and seventh for contested marks. Another standout campaign saw him earn his eighth All-Australian jacket, further cementing his place among the game’s greats.
