KYNETON is bucking the trend of the first six rounds of the Bendigo Football-Netball League season with a defender as its top-ranked Premier Data player.
Kyneton recruit Frazer Driscoll heads the Tigers' player rankings with 761 points.
The Premier Data player ranking points are calculated off 34 statistical categories, with all but Kyneton having midfielders ranked No.1.
Driscoll has joined the Tigers from Southern Districts in the Northern Territory league and has also previously played with North Adelaide and quickly proven a major asset for a Kyneton side that is sitting fifth on the ladder with a 3-3 record.
WATCH FRAZER DRISCOLL'S MATCH HIGHLIGHTS VS GOLDEN SQUARE IN ROUND SIX:
Driscoll is ranked No.1 in the BFNL for spoils per game with 5.3, narrowly ahead of team-mate Harrison Huntley (5.2), while fellow Tigers' defender Mason Crozier is sixth with 4.3.
Driscoll is also among the top-ranked players for one per centers per game (No.6, 7.0), defensive 50 tackles (No.4, 2.2), intercept possessions (No.2, 7.3) and rebound 50s (No.1, 12.7).
Overall, Driscoll is the No.5 ranked player in the competition, which continues to be led by Gisborne star Brad Bernacki on 1038 points.
Bernacki has been the No.1 ranked player in the competition from the outset when he racked up 199 points in the Bulldogs' round one win over Sandhurst at Gardiner Reserve.
As well as Driscoll and Bernacki, the other players who are leading their club rankings are Castlemaine's Tommy Horne (722), Eaglehawk's Noah Wheeler (694), Golden Square's Jack Geary (808), Kangaroo Flat's Liam Collins (688), Maryborough's Aiden Hare (932), Sandhurst's Noah Walsh (619), South Bendigo's Cooper Leon (793) and Strathfieldsaye's Jake Moorhead (710).
