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.
Port Adelaide
Ollie Lord
Young forward Ollie Lord recently signed a new deal to keep him at the club until the end of 2026. After a very strong showing towards the end of the season, most notably a phenomenal four-goal performance in Port Adelaide's qualifying final loss, Lord earned himself an extension.
With a solid mark, a great set shot and plenty of athleticism, Lord can be the next key forward that the Power has been looking for. With an aging Charlie Dixon, Lord could step into that role alongside other talls Todd Marshall and Mitch Georgiades.
