With the dust settling on another draft period, AFL clubs and their new recruits begin to turn their attention toward pre-season training in preparation for the 2023 season.
Some clubs have already injected their new wave of young stars into their programs for the summer ahead, while others will require longer development plans before earnign their debut in the top flight.
With some players brought in to have an immediate impact and others seen as project players for the future, we list the draftee at each AFL club that could land a debut in Round 1, 2023.
Essendon
Like they have done with recent top 10 picks Nik Cox, Archie Perkins and Be Hobbs, the Bombers might waste no time in getting Tsatas exposed to the AFL early.
The versatile onballer could slot onto a wing for Brad Scott or work at either flank to assist the already star-studded list of inside midfielders at Bomberland.
Likely to find himself in a rotation with bargain rookie recruit Nic Martin and Oakleigh Chargers teammate Alwyn Davey, Tsatas can fill multiple roles for Essendon early into his career.
Bombers list boss Adrian Dodoro has already hinted at an early debut for the No.5 pick.
