1. Harley Bennell (Fremantle)

Another Docker under the pump, Bennell signed a one-year deal at the end of last year that saw most of the public surprised. The former-Sun has not played a game for the Dockers since round 23, 2017 and ongoing calf issues continue to hamper his career. The 26 year-old has a make or break season ahead of him - will we ever see Bennell on an AFL field again?
