The 2024 AFL Draft is just days away, with all 18 clubs getting their affairs in order as they prepare to attain talent from this year's stacked class of prospects.
More than half of the competition have priority access to draft prospects they will look to add to their list via the Academy and father-son mechanisms, but further planning is in place to pry talent from the open pool.
The first round of the draft currently consists of 23 selections owned by just 12 clubs, with the six other sides hoping a particular teenager or two slides out of their projected draft range and into their lap.
Whether your team holds an early selection or doesn't start their count until night two of the draft, we've matched up an ideal prospect to all 18 clubs for their first selection of this year's AFL Draft.
For this exercise we have avoided double-ups, keeping all 18 selections to 18 different draft prospects.ย

Similar to Collingwood, the Cats don't start their draft until night two, more specifically, early into the third round at 45th overall. They'll hope one key forward from the top pack is a slider, or at least available early into the second round as they could trade their way up the order.
Faull looms as a potential first-round draft chance who could still be available come the second night of the draft - an outcome that would give a club like Geelong ample time to package a deal together and move up the board.
The GWV Rebels forward trained with Geelong last pre-season before enjoying a strong second half to his year - having overcome a back injury that sidelined him for the early stages of 2024.
Others to consider:ย Tom Sims, Kayle Gerreyn
