Jamie Elliott
Scores four in loss
Elliott scored four goals and one behind to go with 18 disposals (15 kicks, three handballs) in addition to making eight marks during Sunday's 102-64 loss to Essendon in Round 23.
ANALYSIS
Elliott scored a solid 25 goals this season despite only playing in 13 games, and this helped him end 2021with three different scores of over 100 fantasy points. Should he be able to stay on the field for the entirety of a season, his value could rise further in 2022.

Ends season with loss
Adams recorded 31 disposals (19 kicks, 12 handballs) and made six marks during Sunday's 102-64 loss to Essendon in Round 23.
ANALYSIS
Adams was one of the few bright spots for the Magpies the season and ended the campaign with over 30 disposals in three of his last four games. Heading into 2022, he'll be one to watch from what could be a resurgent club under a new coach.
