Fans wait with baited breath as they watch their young talent develop throughout the years. It starts at "he'll be a gun one day", then into "next year", but when does it really happen?
Let's look at a player from your team who can make the leap next season.
Vlastuin may the closest to already being elite on this list after his season this year. The Tigers defender was ninth in the AFL for intercepts per game and 20th for total rebound 50s, providing a crucial cog in the Tigers defence. At only 24, his best football should be coming up, an exciting prospect for Richmond fans.
