Hawthorn

Hawthorn boasted the oldest and most experienced list in the competition in 2019, but it is their young core which will keep the Hawks in the hunt for another flag. With Tom Mitchell set to return, Jaeger O'Meara finding his feet and Ricky Henderson enjoying a renaissance, the Hawthorn midfield will be an imposing force next year.

Alastair Clarkson also has versatile swingmen James Sicily and Jack Gunston at his disposal and is expected to add more quality in the form of former number one pick Jon Patton. Despite finishing ninth, the Hawks won six of their last eight, including victories over Collingwood, Geelong and GWS, which is encouraging heading into next season.

With 'Clarko' at the helm, Hawthorn will always be a threat and will be back in September action very soon.

Verdict: Getting wider
