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.
Sydney
Number of selections available โ One
Draft position โ 13th
Having lost Aliir Aliir at the end of the 2020 season, the Swans' defensive stocks are in need on a boost.
For this reason, they are likely to be looking at Western Bulldogs NGA prospect, Cody Raak.
Raak stands at 192cms so he will be seen by Longmire as is a mid-sized defensive option to stand alongside Lewis Melican and Tom McCartin into the future.
At 18, the Western Jet also fits Sydney's list profile.
The Swans could also pull a wildcard and upgrade former number one draft pick Paddy McCartin to their senior list.
