With the 2019 AFL Draft in the books, we've seen clubs hedge their bets on the next crop of football superstars, with the hope that they can make an instant impact on their side's performances.
In the past few years, we have seen so many talented youngsters make a splash just a couple seasons into their AFL careers and become bonafide superstars.
Here is Zero Hanger's top 10 players aged 22 and under heading into the 2020 season.
8. Connor Rozee
The fifth selection in the 2018 Draft had a superb debut year which saw him finish second in the Rising Star behind Sam Walsh. Rozee kicked a club-high 29 goals from half-forward, the most out of any Rising Star candidate, including a five-goal haul against Brisbane in round three. Rozee's impact wasn't just limited to his goal-kicking however, with the 19-year-old finishing fifth in the competition for tackles inside 50.
The North Adelaide product was rewarded for his strong performances with a berth in the 22under22 side and also took home Port Adelaide's Gavin Wanganeen award for the best under 21 player. With Rozee expected to transition into a midfielder in the future, Port Adelaide will be hoping the youngster can help fill the gap left when superstars Travis Boak and Robbie Gray eventually retire.
