For a team to take another step forward they need their young players and even at times experienced heads to find another level - improvement is the name of the game.
Natural progression is important but it's the players who put in the extra bit that are the keys to seeing your team surge up the ladder.
Going into the 2020 season there are names being thrown around everywhere as the player set to boom, or the player under pressure to perform. At this time of year everyone seems to be training the house down and in the best condition of their career.
We take a look at every club and see who needs to make the step up in order to see their team to greater heights.
Carlton
Paddy Dow
Paddy Dow showed glimpses in his first year that had Blues fans excited, while year two wasn't exactly a step in the right direction. He didn't go backwards, but he didn't go forward. When David Teague took the reigns he was moved from midfield to half forward and then was dropped. Dow has pace to burn and a step to match, if he can harness that and correct his ball use he has the ability to light up the Carlton midfield.
