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.
8. Riley Onley
Position: Midfielder
Height: 194cm
State: Victoria
Another midfield who stops the tape past 190cm is Murray Bushrangers onballer Riley Onley, who had a strong finish to the year in the Talent League.
That rise in form came with a trio of appearances for Vic Country at the National Championships, with Onley averaging 15.3 disposals, 3.7 marks and 3.7 inside 50s as a bottom-age talent.
Agile and with size on his side, Onley is a strong aerial threat and is equally as promising at ground level, with his smart decision-making often teeing up set shots for Bushrangers stars Joe Berry, Josh Murphy and the Whitlock twins.
Adding some more muscle over the next 12 months could see Onley explode onto the scene and pace his name toward the top of the board as a midfielder with plenty of upside.
