The 2021 season is fast approaching, with all 18 clubs already underway with their pre-season programs, and fans will be keeping an eye out on who is taking major steps to start their next campaign.
With the 2020 season throwing in plenty of twists and turns to players league-wide, there are set to be some big names looking to put last season in the past and bounce back to their very best for the next 12 months and beyond.
We've selected the 10 players who need to rekindle their best this season and could be primed to prove their doubters wrong.
4. Patrick Cripps
The Blues skipper certainly didn't have a poor season last year, but for a player of his calibre and the direction his club is heading, many will expect the contested ball winner to make major strides in 2021.
The passing mark for Carlton will be to make finals, and with Cripps now gaining the supporting cast he has longed for, there aren't many excuses for why the Blues won't be playing September football.
Out of contract at the end of the season, Cripps' upcoming campaign will have large ramifications for his future and he'll be sure to put the league on alert once again.
