Flanders had a breakout 2023 season, playing 14 games and averaging 24 disposals per game (including an injury-affected seven-disposal game). The midfielder overcame a knee injury in Round 4 to break back into the team and demand more midfield minutes as the season wore on, going on to win the Heritage Bank Best Emerging Player award at the SUNS Club Champion. Flanders signed a four-year contract extension tying him to the club until the end of 2027.
