Burly New Zealand-born key forward Lefau, a former rugby league enthusiast, endured a tough 2025.

He overcame a second ACL rupture, sustained against Geelong in June 2024, to force his way back into the AFL team, but tweaked his calf in his comeback game and was sidelined again.

Lefau, injury woes aside, will be intent on knocking down the selection door once again.
