1. Sam Walsh 

Supercoach Price: $543,300

Fantasy Price: $739,000

Walsh was huge last year and got better as the year grew. As a 20-year-old it's only fair to assume he will rise up another level in 2021 and by all reports is training very well. With more depth in the Carlton midfield this season it will surely allow Walsh more freedom to get his hands on the ball.

The Blues jet had a strong back-end to the season in 2020, scoring 114, 123, 98, 113, 132, 161, 84 and 119 after the bye.

Priced at $543,300 in Supercoach and $739,000 in AFL Fantasy, Walsh looks like a must-have for the opening rounds of the season.
