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.
Geelong
Number of selections available - Zero
Draft position โ 15th*
As the Hoops have not suffered any season ending injuries this season, they currently don't have a selection at this week's draft.
However, without many sterling ruck options, the same names that Brisbane could be looking at - Podhajski, Gault, Downie or Heath - are sure to be on the Cats' shopping list if they decide to move their chess pieces around.
