Before every AFL season, fans and supporters dive into their crystal balls and see what the future holds for their club.
A part of that prediction is singling out which player will rise above the expectation set upon them during the summer months.
A player that should be looked out for heading into the new season and one that is on the verge of stardom.
Whether it be a new signing, draftee or someone just set to make waves, we've picked one player from each club to keep an eye on in season 2025.
Carlton
The Blues showed their hands when allowing small forward Matt Owies to explore his options.
And that is how much they value Jesse Motlop.
The 21-year-old impressed in his second season with 24 goals from 21 games but failed to produce a similar output last year, hindered by injury and form woes.
But putting that behind him, and with a vacancy in the small forward department at Carlton, Motlop is ready to take that next step.
Admittedly, the Blues rely heavily on Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow, but they desperately need a third prong up forward.
