Season summary:

After struggling to keep his spot in the side and have much of an impact playing forward, a shift to the midfield late in the 2021 season saw Conor Nash forge a string of break-out performances.

Across the final four games of the season, the Irishman averaged 20.2 disposals and 4.7 tackles, and was named among the best players on the ground during three of those four games.

Before his career-best performance in Round 20, the 23-year-old had been thrown around a range of positions and roles in his young career to date. 

Starting as a Category B rookie from Ireland, Nash made eight appearances at AFL level this season and will be looking to build on his strong finish to 2021 come next year.
