Just over a month out from the 2024 season, we are listing off some stars of the competition to watch out for this year.
We've compiled a ranking of the projected top 50 players in the competition for 2024, looking through spots 40-31 in this edition.
Rather than naming the best performers of 2023 or the top players entering Opening Round, this list will look at the best players currently with some projections as to how they may rank at the end of the year.
Part one addressed many up & coming young names who have done just enough to scrape into the exclusive top 50, this list of 10 gets to the players who are entrenched in that club but need to bolster their production further or impact the outcome of games to climb higher.

2. 39 - Chad Warner
Many expected more out of Chad Warner last season, especially after his 2022 Grand Final performance in Sydney's loss to Geelong which was as inspirational as one could be in an 81-point drubbing.
Warner took a step back along with the team last year, vacating the spotlight for Errol Gulden to go on a 2023 rampage into Brownlow Medal contention.
Smart footy folk expect Sydney to leap back into the premiership race this season after a productive off-season recruiting period and no late September hangovers to cure.
If Warner is the chameleon to his surroundings as the past 24 months suggest, the 22-year-old may emerge into All-Australian discussions should Sydney rise again in 2024.
