It was a frustrating 2022 campaign for Nat Exon, who only appeared in four games for Season 6, but will be hoping a late-season surge will be a sign of what she is capable of when fit.

Exon, who finished runner-up in the club’s inaugural Best & Fairest, often flies under the radar, but like Rosie Dillon, her work in the clinches is vital to the Saints’ engine room.
