Sam Flanders
Classy midfielder who had a club record 680 disposals in a breakout 2024 campaign, bettering Gary Ablett’s 675 in 2012 to continue a major career transformation. The first-round draft pick from Fish Creek via Gippsland Power had played 34 of a possible 79 games to round 14, 2023, averaging 10.8 disposals. But in 32 games since then he’s averaged 27.8 disposals. Relishing the Damien Hardwick way, he was the League’s fifth-highest ball-winner in the home and away season, behind only Lachie Whitfield, Nick Daicos, Tom Green and Adam Treloar, with 12 games of 30-plus and two of 40-plus, including a career-best 43 disposals against GWS in round 19. Contracted until 2027, he finished third in the Suns’ best and fairest and will be a crucial figure moving forward.
