Mabior Chol had one of the least impressive finals series of anyone in 2024, visibly out of form at the end of a long campaign carrying a big forward and ruck load for Hawthorn due to injury elsewhere in the team's spine. 2025 has been a much brighter time for him, even though he has again had to shoulder more responsibility than he should with Mitch Lewis and Calsher Dear in the injury room. Like Hayden McLean and Harry McKay in similar roles, he is a confidence player who wears his heart on his sleeve, and can lift his real and fantasy teams to victory in the right mood.
