7. Jack Macrae
There's leather-poisoning, and then there is a lazy Saturday for Jack Macrae.
The Doggies ball magnet was brilliant this season in a midfield brigade widely considered the best in the business, however would be disappointed that his side stumbled at the final hurdle during the decider.
His third consecutive All-Australian selection was his most justified yet, finishing with some crazy totals that are hard to comprehend.

His haul of 881 disposals is an AFL/VFL record for the highest tally in a season and his number one ranking across the entire league for effective disposals is no mean feat too.
The 27-year-old also ranked second in the competition for goal assists, showing that his eye for setting up play is top drawer when compared to his peers.
Macrae is now only just entering his prime years and, if opposition players don't find a way to stop him in his tracks, could very well have another record-breaking year in 2022.
