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.
Gold Coast
Jed Walter
The Suns' Academy Pick is touted as the best forward in the draft for 2023. Had it not been for Harley Reid, he could've very easily gone first overall. The main selling point with Walter is, put simply, he's big. Standing at 197cm tall and weighing 97kg, he's a ready-made key forward.
Being a Queensland native certainly helps, as there won't be any need for him to 'go home' as other Suns draftees have in the past few years. As one of the biggest key forwards in the competition at only 18 years old, expect a lot from this draftee.
