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.
9. Daniel Annable
Position: Midfielder
Height: 183cm
State: Queensland
A promising midfielder tied to the Lions, Annable could end up fetching the earliest Academy bid the Lions have seen in their time at the AFL draft.
The likes of Jaspa Fletcher, Eric Hipwood and - most recently - Sam Marshall were all taken in the first round of their respective drafts, with early indications from Annable's game suggesting he'll follow suit.
Annable played all four games for the Allies to average 19.5 disposals per game - trailing only Marshall, Leonardo Lombard and Zeke Uwland.
The competitive ball winner had a consistent run across his three Talent League games for the Lions, averaging 27.7 disposals, 6.3 tackles and 4.34 inside 50s per game as a focal point for Brisbane.
He would also represent Redland in the QAFL on 10 occasions to gain senior experience, kicking six goals and featuring among his side's best in four matches.
