We've put a player from every club under the microscope that need to put in a big pre-season.
Whether it's a young player that needs to break out or put on some size, a veteran that needs to rediscover a spark or a star returning form injury, the following names need a big summer.
Hawthorn
Tom Mitchell
The return of Tom Mitchell will feel like a new recruit for Alastair Clarkson and what a recruit to have. The 2018 Brownlow Medallist missed the entire 2019 season with a broken leg, but is in line to make his comeback early on in the season. The 26-year-old is still recovering from his tibia and fibula breaks suffered in January.
Mitchell is still unsure if he'll be ready for round one and will require a strong pre-season to get himself up to speed. The talented accumulator's next step will be focusing on regaining his agility and skills with the football, before returning to full training.
