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.

A pretty easy one to keep an eye on but how much will Richmond premiership player Shai Bolton influence his new club?
At his best, Bolton is a 40+ goal-kicking midfielder who can rotate through the forward line. Look at his 2022 stats.
The Dockers gave up two first-round picks for him, so they believe he can be a difference-maker.
But what Bolton will immediately add, aside from his extraordinary skillset, is flexibility through the midfield.
Hayden Young was thrown forward at times in 2024 and looked very dangerous, meaning the two can now work in tandem to increase the club's scoring power.
