With the 2024 AFL Draft having come and gone, attention now turns to next year's draft class.
An early look at the top end of the 2025 crop sees an even spread across states, with Queensland home to a handful of next year's most promising prospects.
South Australia and Western Australia are also set to feature highly, while Victoria will look to replicate their dominance from this year.
Here, we've named 10 prospects for 2025 to keep an eye on over the next 12 months.
2. Dyson Sharp
Position: Midfielder
Height: 188cm
State:ย South Australia
A midfield bull who looked a level above this year at the U18s level for Central District while holding down an integral role in South Australia's midfield at the National Championships.
Sharp would partner with the likes of Sid Draper and the Camporeale twins as key cogs in SA's carnival run, averaging 17.8 disposals, 5.5 tackles and 5.3 inside 50s as one of the best bottom-age performing players.
The hard-nosed onballer would play at all three SANFL levels for the Bulldogs this year, dominating across eight appearances at his age level before earning his stripes with a pair of reserves appearances and then five games for Central District's seniors.
That latter run included a trio of finals appearances as the Dogs pushed for a premiership, with showing little issue coming up against state league talent.
