For a team to take another step forward they need their young players and even at times experienced heads to find another level - improvement is the name of the game.

Natural progression is important but it's the players who put in the extra bit that are the keys to seeing your team surge up the ladder.

Going into the 2020 season there are names being thrown around everywhere as the player set to boom, or the player under pressure to perform. At this time of year everyone seems to be training the house down and in the best condition of their career.

We take a look at every club and see who needs to make the step up in order to see their team to greater heights.

West Coast

Jake Waterman

Waterman is vying for a position in the competition's deepest forward line. If he doesn't set up, Waterman could find himself out of the line-up and it won't be easy to get back in. If he flourishes, their forward line becomes that much deeper and more dangerous. And he will find himself playing on the third, fourth or even fifth best defender and reap the rewards.
