Perhaps the greatest example of a selfless team player on the list at present, Dan Butler fulfilled both the team roles and benefitted off his own boot in a strong return to form last season.

Butler snaffled 33 goals - just three short of 2023 leading goalkicker, Jack Higgins - from the season just gone, with a pair of four-goal bags in the Saints’ 150th Anniversary Game against Essendon and in a crucial clash against Hawthorn with finals on the horizon amongst his best performances.

In the games where he didn’t hit the scoreboard as prominently, his manic pressure, tackling ferocity inside the arc and speed were all on full display and enabled his teammates reap the scoreboard reward.

After trading his sash for stripes ahead of 2020, the Premiership Tiger first burst onto the scene in Saints colours during that year’s COVID-affected season, ramming home 29 goals in the abbreviated matches to earn selection in the All-Australian squad by season's end.
