Ben Ainsworth
Early draft pick whose seventh AFL season ended with a round 18 shoulder injury. The clever half-forward had a career-best 28 possessions and kicked two goals in round 16 against Collingwood but overall took a step backwards in 2024. Is contracted until 2028 and, if he can recapture his best, he will be an important part of an improving team.
