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.
Geelong
Jhye Clark
Drafted with the eighth pick in 2022, Jhye Clark has plenty to live up to. Seen as the Cats' successor to club hero Joel Selwood, Clark's first year didn't necessarily go to plan. Only managing one senior game, the 19-year-old is set for a big year in 2024.
A former Geelong Falcons captain, co-captain for Vic Country and an All-Australian at youth level, Clark has the ability. Whether he can maximise on it is where questions lie as Geelong looks to rebound from a down season.
