With the league's Mid-Season Draft set to take place on Wednesday this week, a portion of the 602-players that nominated their services are set to have their lives change forever.
For the budding youngsters that missed out on selection at last year's national talent market, it will offer them a chance to make their dreams come true - albeit a tad later than some of their peers.

For the wily veterans that have thrown their hats back into the ring, it will mean one last chance to lace the boots and keep their flames shielded from the wind for at least another six-months.
Despite the fact that not every side will enter the draft with a pick available, we have run a fine toothed comb through all 18-lists, and have made recommendations of talent for fans of every creed and clubs of every colour.
Here are the players every club should be considering on Wednesday night.
Richmond
Number of selections available - One
Draft position โ 11th
With their success in selecting Marlion Pickett with the 13th pick of the 2019 Mid-Season Draft, the word is that the Tigers will be taking the same methodology back to the well this year.
Having averaged 41-disposals so far this season for Frankston in the VFL, former Magpie and Saint Nathan Freeman's name has been at the forefront of recruiters minds ahead of Wednesday night.
If Damien Hardwick is keen to add a ready made body to bolster his midfield stocks, then expect the trigger to be pulled on the 25-year-old.
