She won all the big awards in 2020, and Jas Garner is continuing her brilliant form this season.
The 26-year-old is averaging 20 disposals, 6 clearances, 5 tackles, 4 score involvements and 1.2 goals a game - numbers remarkably similar to last year.
But the North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos' vice-captain isn't worried about personal success ... it's all about the team.
“I don’t think too much about that sort of stuff [her standing in the game], but if I can play some good footy and that means it is going to help the team out, then I guess that is great,” she told The Mercury.
Garner is one of the key pillars in a star North midfield brigade, with the likes of Ash Riddell, Emma Kearney, Jenna Bruton and Ellie Gavalas dominant in the past fortnight.
After a slight hiccup, with two straight losses, the Roos are right back on track.
A win against the Bulldogs on Saturday night vital to their finals chances.
“As a team we are starting to play some good footy and as individuals we can build on our game. Hopefully we keep that momentum going into these last few rounds,” Garner said.
“We have a lot of individuals that are starting to play some good footy … if we can get more of that it will mean more wins.
“We went through a bit of a rough patch where we lost two in a row and probably weren’t playing the brand of footy we can, but the last couple of weeks have been pretty good.”
Just three rounds remain in the home and away season, with North keen to finish its campaign on a good note.
The Roos returned to their very best form in a lethal first half display against Richmond.
“Hopefully we can continue to build on that leading into the next few weeks with a few tough games ahead,” Garner added.
“The run home you are pretty much going to have to win all your games ... you can see the top six is pretty tight at the moment and I think the top eight or nine could also flip around and other teams jump into the finals.”
North takes on the Western Bulldogs at 5.10pm AEDT on Saturday night, with the game live on Fox Footy.
