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.
Gold Coast
Brandon Ellis
The Suns need everyone to improve, but recruit Brandon Ellis is the man who's improvement will give the Suns the biggest boost as a team. The dual-premiership star has the chance to lead this young team into a new era. If he can play his best footy in this chapter it'll go a long way to setting the Suns up for the future.
