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.
Port Adelaide
Charlie Dixon
Like his key forward counterpart at cross-town rivals Adelaide, Charlie Dixon has struggled for form in recent years. In his four years at the Power, Dixon has averaged just 1.7 goals per game and has led the club's goal-kicking only once (2017), despite being the leading target in the forward line.
With a 200cm and 108kg frame, Dixon should be one of the most imposing forwards in the competition, however, due to inconsistent form, injuries and poor delivery at times, the former Gold Coast Sun has failed to live up to expectations. Entering a contract year, this pre-season becomes a now or never situation for the 29-year-old and his coach Ken Hinkley, with both under pressure going into 2020.
