Next up is Lids.
For the third year in succession, Lids played all 22 games in the season to take his career tally to 128 matches. This makes him now the third most experienced player on our list behind Newman and Tuck. As a half-back, Lids reached 30 or more disposals on four occasions with his best effort against Hawthorn in round 8 where he had 35. All but two matches were above 20 possessions (lowest 18 vs Melb R19). Lids finished the season runners-up in the B&F and was selected in the initial 40-man All-Australian squad.
