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.

Fremantle

Matt Taberner

As the Docker's big key forward since legend Matthew Pavlich's retirement, Taberner hasn't lived up to the expectations. In the seven seasons since Pavlich's retirement, Taberner has been a very mediocre tall target.

His best season output is 37 goals, and with youngster Jye Amiss stepping up, Taberner's career appears on a precipice. With an expiring contract at the end of 2024, the injury-prone tall will need to hit the ground running to remain a part of the Dockers' future.
