The conclusion of the home and away season means the opening 10 AFL Draft selections for this year's count are locked in.
While the trade period can be utilised to cash in these selections for attainable targets, most clubs won't be looking to part ways with their opening picks - especially given the strength of this year's pool of prospects.
Richmond has locked in the opening selection of November's intake after taking out the wooden spoon, while Fremantle will round out the opening 10 picks with successive selections, having acquired Collingwood's opening pick.
Each club will have their list of draft targets they hope slip to their early selections, and with the parity in the top echelon of this year's class, it's set to be a fascinating start to this year's National Draft.
We've looked at the settled top 10 picks in this year's draft order and matched up one prospect to each selection.
VIEW: CURRENT 2024 AFL DRAFT ORDER
1. Pick 1: Richmond
Finn O'Sullivan
Position: Midfielder
Height: 182cm
State: Victoria
Club: Koroit
The Tigers are set to make their first Pick 1 selection since Brett Deledio two decades ago, with the Punt Road club set to have a bevy of worthy options to pick from.
O'Sullivan might be the kid for Richmond, with his high upside still evident despite an injury-interrupted draft campaign.
The Vic Country ball-winner entered 2024 as arguably the top name for his class, and while others have had more of a chance to strengthen their stocks, O'Sullivan has looked classy at the coalface throughout his limited opportunities.
O'Sullivan was among the handful of prospects who pulled on the Tigers jumper in the VFL this year, with the teenager kicking two goals from a dozen disposals against Sandringham earlier this month.
Fellow Richmond VFL trialists Jagga Smith and Harvey Langford also got a look, with the former taking the most of his chance and is another likely to be high up on Blair Hartley's list.
Others to consider:ย Jagga Smith, Harvey Langford, Josh Smillie
