Off the back of a breakout 2021 season, Nat Grider raised the bar again in season six, 2022.
Exploding onto the scene in her fourth 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 key figure in the Lions' defensive line-up. The 21-year-old’s hard work and efforts were rewarded with her first All-Australian honour and a place in the 2022 AFLPA 22 Under 22 Team.
