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.
Hawthorn
Jack Ginnivan
Arguably the most divisive young player in the entire competition, Jack Ginnivan shook up the AFL once more by leaving Collingwood at the end of 2023. The 21-year-old is set for more game time at the Hawks after playing predominantly as the substitute for the Pies.
Electric when on form, as controversial a figure as they come, and with genuine footy craft, Ginnivan could be a phenomenal small forward. Whether he wants the attention or not, all eyes will be on the former Magpie, and being given the number of great Cyril Rioli probably won't help his case, either.
