Gold Coast’s intercept king had another prolific season in the club’s back six in 2021. The defender showed improvement in his elite intercept ability, while his delivery from defence became a trademark of his game. Was rewarded for his efforts with a nomination in the AFLPA’s 40-man 22Under22 squad. Signed until 2025, Ballard has a bright future.
