6th place - #17 Josh Kennedy

Total votes - 16.99

Ranking - 6th

Games played - 18

The Bearded God kept on keeping on in season 2021 which saw him finish 17th in the Coleman as a 34 year old. Kennedy missed a few games here and there due to old man injuries but was always impactful when he played as he never had a goalless game in 2021. BOG honours in his unforgettable game against Richmond where he kicked the winner on top of 15 disposals, 7 marks and 3 more majors. Apparently weighing up whether to sign the one year deal in front of him to play on in 2022.

Season averages:

Top 5 of 2021 according to you to come from:

Oscar Allen
Jack Darling
Tim Kelly
Nic Naitanui
Dom Sheed

5th tomorrow
4th Thursday
3rd-1st Friday
 
Darling top five despite the regular calls for him to be dropped?

Actually, could say the same about Allen. And Sheed. And Kelly.
I don't believe there were regular calls to 'drop' Oscar in the negative sense, but, rather, to rest him and/or treat his obvious ailments.

Darling, Sheed and Kelly were a different kettle of fish.

And it must be said top 5 for Oscar after getting banged up every game and thrown from pillar to post all season is a massive effort.

5th place - #12 Oscar Allen

Total votes - 17.23

Ranking - 5th

Games played - 21

Oscar started the season on fire and one of the hottest young KPF prospects in the AFL with BOG performances in Round 1 vs Gold Coast (13 disposals, 9 marks and 4 goals) and Round 5 vs Collingwood (13 disposals, 6 marks and 5 goals) along with polling votes in 9 out of the first 10 rounds. The second half of the season was a different story and Oscar only polled in 2 more games for the rest of the year where he struggled with form and fitness. Hopefully a good preseason will give an opportunity to continue his early season form next year.

Season averages:
Disposals: 10.1
Marks: 4.8
Tackles: 1.9

Top of the votes, but by no means unreasonably so. Textbook sponsoring.

And what a first half of the season from Oscar! Hopefully he can put it all together next year.

Hopefully he can be played as a permanent forward.
 
Darling's whole season can be summed up by that Adelaide game where he did nothing for three quarters but kicked 5 goals in the remaining quarter.
This is very accurate, bit like the Collingwood game when he played on the first gamer and kicked 4 in a quarter. Then kicked one for the rest of the game, when the Pies changed defenders.
