Max Gruzewski

Another strong season for the developing medium forward, booting 30 goals in 13 VFL games, hitting the target in all bar one and peaking with five in round 18. He also broke through for four AFL appearances, snagging two goals on debut in the Sydney Derby. Only had four, two, three and three touches in his four matches but will be so much better for the experience and can expect to play plenty more games this season.

Honours

VFL Player of the Year (2025), VFL Team of the Year (2025).
