With the 2024 AFL Draft having come and gone, attention has turned to 2025's draft class.
An early look at the top end of the incoming crop sees an even spread across states, with Queensland home to a handful of the year's most promising prospects.
South Australia and Western Australia are also set to feature highly, while Victoria will look to replicate their dominance from 2024.
Here, we've named 10 prospects for 2025 to keep an eye on over the next 12 months.
10. Cody Curtin
Position: Defender
Height: 197cm
State: Western Australia
The younger brother of Adelaide rookie Dan, Curtin has shown similarities to his sibling given his athletics and size as a commanding player across multiple lines on the field.
A member of Claremont's WAFL Colts premiership side, Curtin was an integral piece for the Tigers on their way to successive flags, averaging 10.3 disposals and 4.1 marks from his eight games while kicking a return of 13 goals.
He would have little issue as a bottom-age talent for Western Australia at this year's U18s National Championships, mostly positioned in defence to prove his abilities as a backman capable of holding lockdown and intercept roles.
If Curtin can show further versatility as a midfield option - much like his brother did last year - his stocks will soar on a similar trajectory.
