Will Ashcroft is by no means the most decorated Brisbane Lion on their senior list, even though he has a Norm Smith Medal to go with his premiership medal from the successful 2024 campaign. With Lachie Neale and Josh Dunkley part of the Lions midfield, it may surprise that it is Ashcroft that has attracted most recent tagging attention. Opposition analysts usually look for hurt factor rather than accumulation, which is a good excuse for not tagging Dunkley, but lets Neale off the hook who has both at times, and is susceptible. For now, Ashcroft's fantasy stocks are lower.
