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.Â
GWS
FULL PROFILE
Position:Â Forward
Height:Â 195cm
State:Â Victoria
Club:Â Moama
The Giants will have three bites of the apple on night one, holding Picks 15, 16 and 21 after acquiring the two later selections as free agency compensation.
Their pair of successive picks will give them the ability to address multiple areas of their list, with further forward depth or midfielders sure to be areas of interest.
A move for Shanahan could be a safer selection for GWS should he be available given his New South Wales ties - a rare chance for the AFL's youngest club. The mobile forward is ready to go but could benefit from a year in the VFL and the mentorship of Coleman Medal winner Jesse Hogan.
Others to consider:Â Xavier Lindsay, Taj Hotton
