Because he's had enough chances to breakout and any improvement is just natural improvement.
You'll be still be saying he's a breakout contender when he's a 27yo by your theory.
Miles Bergman should be another?

The three from Port, reluctant to say Georgiades because i feel like he had a breakout last year

Jason Horne Francis will take the comp by surprise. One of the best 'propects' I have seen.
Sydney Stack come back into contention as a real player. Pretty much a complete player so will happen eventually.

There is still a lot of improvement left to be had with him. If he jumped up to a 30 disposal, 1 goal a game and lifted in other areas of his game, I can’t see how that is not a break out season.

Sure if he has a 30 disposal 1 goal a game a season he will not only have broken out he will also have a Brownlow Medal.

Simpkin had a breakout season as he came from nowhere .
Where’s he been playing? He’s a very talented half back who’s been used out of position due to team needs. With the way the dogs set up he could easily be excellent in that role. But can he fit in with Daniel, Dale and Williams?

Half back. He’s much better behind the ball. Needs to stay fit though.

Nick Daicos will be getting tagged by round 6
And over at North, look out for Horne-Francis, he'll get 15 Brownlow votes this year

Schache maybe?
Where's he been training over pre-season? He could become your most important player this year if he holds down a KPB? Or is it more a floating, intercept back?
He didn’t come out of nowhere. His stats gradually improved each year very similar to LDU’s numbers. In 2021 his numbers improved to a point that people took notice and then he got labeled a breakout player.
Disposal averages
Simpkin - 10, 14, 18, 20, 26
LDU - 10, 14, 17, 22
Those averages are incredibly similar with LDU being a year behind. If LDU increases his disposal average up to 27-28 in 2022 it’s a breakout season. Also worth noting that Simpkin has barely missed a game through injury and LDU has had a lot to overcome.

The 2020 averages are impacted by the shortening in game time.
Per minute of game time LDU didn't make much of a leap this year on last.
Simpkin took a decent step forward in both of the last 2 years, it's just 2020 North were deeply deeply unwatchable, where as even last year North were worth watching for the car crash component on the first 6 weeks or so and then decent play after that. So many so called 'break out' years come with a steady improvement that goes unnoticed the year before.
There's certainly room for LDU to make a breakout. But I agree it would take a fairly decent step forward with disposal averages rather than just steady natural improvement.

Yeah, completely agree with this - a lot of the "breakouts" are just gradual improvements that reach a tipping point where the football public in general suddenly notice.
From the same draft as LDU, I think Rayner could potentially have a "breakout", depending how he comes back from injury.

Down back. Will be an interesting year for him. Make or break season I would have thought.

Jack Henry had a breakout year last year but nobody aside from Geelong supporters seemed to notice... runner up in our B&F in a top 4 season.
Tipping this year he will receive some external recognition and make the AA squad at minimum.

Knew I'd miss someone, was tossing up between Gresham, Clark, Higgins and Max King really going to the elite level
He was good, but he's been good since he debuted. Thought it was more of a quirk of clubs B+F's than an indication he's anywhere near the elite. Would be interesting to see him play as the primary intercept player alongside 2 genuine key defenders and with more freedom to dictate position.
