The 2024 AFL Draft order currently has 78 selections for November's intake, with all 18 clubs having at least two selections for the count.
While the draft order will undergo plenty of change by the time the last selection is made, the order is currently locked in prior to live trading on night one.
With the current order and each club's set of picks, we've looked into the potential omens that could be loved or feared ahead of the draft, assessing how clubs have used their 2024 picks in the past.
Geelong, Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton have all previously found bargains with some of the picks they hold for this year's draft, while Richmond and Melbourne will be hoping for better returns with their early picks this time around.
Here's how all 18 clubs have used their 2024 picks previously...
Essendon
Picks: 28, 31, 40, 46, 53, 54, 65
Across their seven selections for 2024, with the earliest being 28, the Bombers have stunningly taken 25 players with these picks in their history.
None come better than father-son recruit Jobe Watson, who landed at the Bombers with Pick 40 in the 2002 count. Watson would end his career with three best and fairests and two All-Australian balzers while also captaining the club to follow in the footsteps of his father Tim.
Premiership player Jason Johnson was taken at Pick 28 in 1996, being one of four to be recruited with that selection by the Bombers, while Picks 31 and 54 have been used five teas each.
The latter was used to recruit memorable swingman Cale Hooker in 2007, as well as father-son Jayden Davey and half-back Archie Roberts in the past two years.
