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.
Collingwood
Brayden Sier
To say Sier owes the Collingwood Football Club is an understatement! After his social basketball incident, the man formerly known as "Phil Inn" needs to repay the faith. Sier played in the 2018 Grand Final loss and was impressive. Injuries sore him slip out of Collingwood's best 22 last year and his season never really got started.
