Who’s coming through – 2020 Breakout Candidates

For several Redlegs, the 2020 season will present an opportunity to break out and become ingrained senior players.

They have done their apprenticeships over the last few years, toiling away at predominantly Reserves football.

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.

Age: 22

Senior games: 0

Reserves Games: 19 / Goals: 10

One year into his SANFL career, Henry Crauford has shown a steady rate of improvement in his time in the red and blue.

Playing primarily as a ruckman, Crauford’s elite aerobic capacity and athleticism has allowed him to scale the ranks.

Although Crauford didn’t register a senior game in 2019, the 22-year-old went on to become a Reserves Premiership player, whilst also taking out the Reserves Best and Fairest.

Currently navigating through his second pre-season, Redlegs fans could see a lot more of Crauford this year.
