With the 2024 AFL Draft having come and gone, attention has turned to 2025's draft class.
An early look at the top end of the incoming crop sees an even spread across states, with Queensland home to a handful of the 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 2024.
Here, we've named 10 prospects for 2025 to keep an eye on over the next 12 months.
3. Willem Duursma
Position: Utility
Height: 191cm
State: Victoria
A name familiar to most footy fans, Duursma is the fourth sibling from his family who has paved a prolific journey through the draft pathways and is expected to follow Xavier, Yasmin and Zane and land on an AFL list.
The Gippsland Power swingman, who stands above 190cm, has a strong bid to be the first overall selection in 12 months' time after a formidable two seasons in the Talent League and with Vic Country.
Capable of playing across all three lines of the field, Duursma flexed his versatility at every level this year off the back of a dominant U16s carnival in 2023, where he averaged 22 disposals, seven marks and three tackles to earn MVP and All-Australian honours.
On top of his U18s efforts, Duursma played three games for Mid Gippsland club Foster, featuring among his side's best in two of those games while amassing a return of four goals.
