Already nominated in 2019: Charlie Constable (round two)

Best chance: Constable

Not often a second-year player forces Joel Selwood and Gary Ablett out of centre-bounce stoppages. Constable has collected 21 and 31 disposals in his first two outings, including a crunch goal in the season opener to take his opportunity in both hands. While the knock previously was his ability to cover the turf, the 19-year-old has fitted in seamlessly to the increased pace after a full year in the VFL. With Scott Selwood injured, the inside midfield position looks his for the taking.

Other chances: Jordan Clark (two games), Gryan Miers (two games), Esava Ratugolea (10).
It's not a matter of if, but when Clark gets nominated. A lock in the Cats' back six, the dashing half-back has all the qualities of an elite defender. Ratugolea has threatened to single-handedly burst open a game, but until he does, he will sit behind Constable and Clark in Geelong's chances.

Other eligible players:  Jamaine Jones (seven games), Sam Simpson (six)
