SEN • May 6th, 2026 11:25 am
Garry Lyon and Tim Watson have named their Top 10 players for the month of April.
The Melbourne and Essendon legends have curated their list based on who they believe played the best footy across the course of the last four rounds.
They will revisit this each month and put forward their Top 10s monthly across the 2026 season.
“These are the guys we believe are the best performers across the competition in the month just gone,” Watson said on SEN Breakfast.
Four players have made the top 10 for a second consecutive month.
