Will Ashcroft
A blistering start to 2023 had Will Ashcroft firmly in the Rising Star conversation as he added another layer to the Lions midfield with his elite ball-use and one touch ability. Ashcroft was touted for his nous around the contest and the way he could link up with his teammates and his first 18 games lived up to the hype for the number 1 draft pick. In round 18 against Geelong, Ashcroft suffered an ACL injury ruling him out of the remainder of the season and the first part of season 2024. Ashcroft returned to the playing line up from Round 16, helping the Lion squad charge through the post-season, and earn himself a Norm Smith medal for a best-on-ground performance in the 2024 Grand Final.
