The 2024 AFL Draft is now less than a month away, so as it approaches we've begun to look at who each club could select in the first round of the count with our first Mock Draft of the year.
A total of 23 selections shared by a dozen different clubs currently make up this year's opening round of picks, while priority-tied prospects are likely to see the number of selections balloon out following matched bids.
Richmond currently hold seven first-round selections, including the prized Pick 1, while St Kilda, Melbourne, GWS and Sydney also have multiple spots in the queue early into the draft.

Following Mock Drafts will be published closer to the AFL Draft, looking at alternative outcomes and will include live trades.ย
24. Pick 24 - Richmond: Jonty Faull
Position:ย Key Forward
Height: 195cm
State:ย Victoria
Club:ย Redan
The Tigers are certainly in need of some key forward depth, and they won't be left wanting with the selection of Faull, who is one of several astute options still up for grabs at this junction of the draft.
A tall forward who is equally damaging in the air as he is at ground level in the attacking arc, Faull's 2024 season rose nicely after a delayed start through injury.
Faull kicked a team-high 27 goals in the Talent League for the GWV Rebels to sit third in the competition for the metric, including 16 in his first five games after returning in Round 10.
He flexed his ability as a big game player in the finals too, kicking nine goals across the qualifying and preliminary finals to help book his side a spot in the decider.
