Jye Caldwell

After threatening to become a top-line midfielder for a few years, Caldwell broke out last season and realised his full potential with a top-five finish in the best and fairest. Now an invaluable member of Essendon’s engine room, the 24-year-old is entering the prime of his career and has a very bright future. Averaged 23 disposals (nine contested), seven tackles and four clearances in 2024, and was rewarded with a new four-year contract.

Honours

Adam Ramanauskas Most Courageous Player (2024).
