Post 3 players you believe that will go from ok to great or from talented/young gun to one of the best players in the comp.
Heres my top 3 to have a breakout year.
Port Adelaide - Ollie Wines (Age 21): Wines has been one of the brightest young talents in the competition since he debuted back in 2013 and was one of Ports best players in their meteoric rise in 2014. Like Paddy Cripps, wines is a boy in a mans body and a psychical beast who is already dominating grown men in contested footy. After an injury interrupted season in 2015, I expect wines to not only end 2016 as Ports best mid but a Top 10-15 mid of the comp and poll well at the Brownlow.
Adelaide Crows - Brad Crouch (21): Like ollie, Crouch has had massive impact since the day he stepped foot in senior football. However, Crouch has had 2 injury interrupted seasona in a row and fans havent been able to see the best of the elder Crouch yet. For a career thats 25 games old, the 21 year old averages 25 disposal, 5 tackles and 4 clearances a game and already boasts a 40 disposal game against the three time premiers. With Dangerfield Gone, expect Crouch to thrive and go to another level and become an elite midfielder.
West Coast Eagles - Jack Darling (23): As an eagles fan i was really disappointed with Darlings GF performance, however, i wasn't surprised by it. jack didn't have any preseason leading up to 2015 and was a bit overweight and unfit and as a result dropped after his 5th or 6th game last year and was pretty average for the rest of the year. Jack like the last two mentioned above has also had an impact at senior footy straight away and the talented forward was thrusted upon to lead the forward line in his second season and he delivered by booting 53 Goals. Ever since then jack has booted 42, 39 and 26( interrupted season) goals. However, he has been a casualty of the inconsistent eagles midfield in the past and lacked both quality and quantity in service ( that and he played second fiddle to kennedy). Jack is looking really fit (pic below) and will be raring to make up for his disappointed GF and will try and lead the side back into another GF.
