For 10 clubs, the end of the home and away season means their attention quickly turns to list management, with the AFL Draft often the highlighted avenue for addition.
This year's first 10 picks are expected to see a trio of clubs hold multiple selections in the first half of night one, while a handful of clubs that aren't playing finals don't have selections in the first round.
However, for all 10 non-finals sides, there are plenty of prospects to keep an eye on, and it's likely they'll be available on draft night for the next stage of their respective list builds.
Here we've played matchmaker, linking a 2025 draft prospect with each of the bottom 10 teams.

8. Carlton
Harry Dean
A famous name who will fill a role in Michael Voss' long-term plans, Dean - the son of dual premiership player Peter - is the standout key defender in this year's draft class.
His run with Vic Country moved him from outside the top 30 to a likely top 10 selection, given both his talent and the lack of fellow top-line tall backmen.
Dean can be both an intercepting asset and an accountable one-on-one lockdown defender, with the Murray Bushrangers stopper clamping 2025's best key forwards at the highest level.
With Jacob Weitering steering the ship and Harry O'Farrell impressing in his debut campaign, Carlton's rearguard could be settled for the next half-decade and beyond.
