Before every AFL season, there is always plenty of speculation regarding both team and individual outcomes in the year to come.
However, as educated as a statement or prediction can be, trying to pick anything ahead of a season is just a glorified guess.
As pundits, we can make assumptions, but nothing is ever guaranteed. The only thing we know for certain is that another season of AFL will start in only a couple of months. That being said, we've picked some players that we think deserve some attention.
Whether it be a new signing, draftee or someone just set to make waves, we've picked one player from each club to keep an eye on in season 2024.
Adelaide
Luke Pedlar
The 21-year-old Crow had a solid third season in 2023. Playing 21 games and booting 25 goals, Pedlar seems primed to take the next step and move into the midfield. The Crows seem ready to make finals, after narrowly missing out in 2023. Arguably, they should've played in September regardless of the controversial Sydney call.
With an aging Rory Sloane, could Pedlar be the man to replace the club legend? Big-bodied, clean by foot and with a knack for hitting the scoreboard, keep your eye on this future gun.
