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.

Will Ashcroft

The son of a Lions great and a rising star in his own right, Ashcroft had his tremendous season cut short due to an ACL injury. Averaging 22 disposals in only his first season, along with a remarkable Goal of the Year win, Ashcroft seems ready to take the competition by storm.

With the Lions looking to make up for their grand final loss last season, Ashcroft will be a huge part of their season in 2024. ACL injuries are never easy to come back from, let's see how this youngster holds up in his second season.
