Matt Rowell
Arguably the AFL’s leading bull, whose signature on a new contract during 2025 will be the main priority for the Suns. On a 79-game streak, he averaged 24.4 disposals (14.0 contested), 9.1 clearances and 8.0 tackles, and while starting to win more outside ball ranked first in the League for pressure acts, second for tackles, third for contested possessions and fifth for clearances. His 20 clearances against Richmond in the season opener ranked second in the AFL all-time behind Paul Salmon’s 22 in 1998, and his 26 contested possessions in the same game ranked second in Suns history. Polled 25 Brownlow Medal votes (six threes) to top the Suns’ vote and finish equal seventh and fourth in the best and fairest.
