The 2021 AFL season will sneak up on us all and spots in club best 22’s will fill up quickly.
The off-season shook up every team and those who were on the fringes of the best 22 in 2020 will be hoping to break out and earn regular games.

RICHMONDMabior CholMabior Chol has a fantastic opportunity ahead of him in 2021.
The athletic big man operates mainly as a forward who can pinch-hit in the ruck and with Ivan Soldo expected to be sidelined for most of next year, it could represent plenty of chances.
