Ben Long
Ex-Saints utility who had been a bit of a spare parts player through his first seven years in the AFL, he played only once in the first seven rounds of 2024 for four possessions and an early finish. Then came a staggering change. From round eight, in a new role up forward, he ranked equal third best in the Suns’ best and fairest, level with Mac Andrew and behind only Sam Collins and Bodhi Uwland. Added some grunt to the front half, and after 31 goals in his first 95 games kicked 26 in his next 17, including a career-best four against Essendon in round 12.
