Connor Budarick

Lockdown defender who put a horror injury run behind him when, except for a two-week hamstring in rounds six and seven, he played every week in 2024 – 11 games in the VFL and eight in the AFL. Finished the season well and will be hoping for more of the same in a 2025 contract year.

Honours

AFL Rising Star Nominee (2020).
