For a number of Hawks, the 2020 season will represent an opportunity to break out and become ingrained senior players.
They have done their apprenticeships over the last few years, toiling away at predominantly VFL level.
Some have had a taste of senior football, the others right on the fringe.
We have compiled a series of candidates who figure to make the 2020 campaign their own.
Dylan Moore
Age: 20
Senior games: 7
In year two of his AFL career, Dylan Moore made his first senior appearance after repeated strong performances at VFL level.
Moore went on to play another six games with the Hawks, averaging 12 disposals and three tackles.
Another of the young crop that possesses an outstanding engine, the midfielder-forward is constantly up the front of running groups throughout the summer.
Moore may well be one to watch in 2020.
