2018 draftee Nat Grider had a breakout 2021 season.
Exploding onto the scene in her third AFLW season with an assertive defence that forced her opponents to sit up and pay attention, Grider's consistency and prolific possession saw her become a mainstay in the Lions' defensive line-up. Grider capped off an outstanding 2021 season as a member of the AFLPA 22under22 team and with the NAB AFLW premiership in hand.
