19 players made the 44-man All-Australian team for the first time in 2024, suggesting they took their game to the next level.
So, who could be primed to do the same in 2025?
In no particular order, here are 10 players who have the opportunity to take the next big step over the coming 12 months.
8. Harry Perryman
Starved of midfield opportunity at GWS, Perryman's move to Collingwood opens up a number of opportunities for the 25-year-old to slot in and star for the Pies. The Collingwood midfield is ageing and has had injury troubles, so the addition of Perryman should add some consistency.
Alongside Nick Daicos, Perryman should find himself as a regular midfielder and add some stability to the group. It will allow him to win more of the ball and see his average of 18 disposals a game significantly increase.
