Kade Chandler is in his eighth season at Melbourne, in the form of his career, and a key contributor to the Demons becoming the league's feel-good story during their 5-3 start to 2026.
Chandler grew up at Charra, eight-and-a-half hours west of Adelaide on the Eyre Peninsula.
"It's not just your family, all the farmers are doing it. You could sit on a hill there at 2am at certain times of year and see all the tractor lights off in the distance. You grow up with that being the standard," Chandler said.
