1. Hawthorn

Liam Shiels

One of the Hawks' most reliable and durable players, Liam Shiels continues to fly under the radar.

The 242 gamer is the longest-serving Hawthorn player currently on the club's list and continues to bring his best.

Last season, the three-time premiership player averaged 21.1 disposals, 4.4 marks and 4.8 tackles, continuing to be a reliable and durable player in midfield.

Of his 21 matches last year, he recorded 20-plus disposals on 13 occasions, and was the sixth-highest-ball-getter for the Hawks. On top of that, he laid the third-most tackles as well.
