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.

Aaron Cadman
Drafted with the first pick in 2022, Cadman managed 12 senior games in his first season. However, in those 12 games, he only booted six goals. Although Jesse Hogan and Toby Greene seem to be holding up the forward line, they're both over 30 and as we know, they'll eventually need to be replaced.
The 19-year-old boldly stated at the end of 2023 that it would be the only time he ever missed a finals series. With that in mind and plenty to go off based on his VFL performances, Cadman seems ready for a breakout year.
