The 2024 AFL Draft is just days away, with all 18 clubs getting their affairs in order as they prepare to attain talent from this year's stacked class of prospects.
More than half of the competition have priority access to draft prospects they will look to add to their list via the Academy and father-son mechanisms, but further planning is in place to pry talent from the open pool.
The first round of the draft currently consists of 23 selections owned by just 12 clubs, with the six other sides hoping a particular teenager or two slides out of their projected draft range and into their lap.
Whether your team holds an early selection or doesn't start their count until night two of the draft, we've matched up an ideal prospect to all 18 clubs for their first selection of this year's AFL Draft.
For this exercise we have avoided double-ups, keeping all 18 selections to 18 different draft prospects.ย

There have been differing views on Reid's draft range this year, with the Vic Metro MVP seen as a top five draft chance while also being rated as a late first-round selection.
The Dogs will hope the general consensus on draft night is the latter, with the Footscray-based club not entering the count until Pick 17 at the earliest.
Reid is a crafty inside-outside midfielder who can step his way out of trouble and use his front-half poise to leave his mark on the scoreboard. The Sandringham Dragons product would be a fitting addition to the current demographic of the Dogs' midfield mix.
Others to consider:ย Alex Dodson, Jesse Dattoli
