With the AFL Draft just over a week away, AFL teams - and their fans - will have a firm idea of which prospects they want to come away from the count with.
Each club has at least one glaring list need they may address at the draft, while the sides with picks towards the top of the order will be assessing the best prospect available when they're on the clock.
Whether it be through a prospect's name sliding down on draft night, or a club packaging picks to move up the order, there's likely a standout name for every club that would prove to be a dream addition to their list.
Considering each club's list needs and opening selection at the AFL Draft, here's who we see as every club's dream prospect to pick.
18Western Bulldogs
Lachy Dovaston
The Dogs are right in the mix for Dovaston, whose range starts at the back end of the top 10.
With Pick 14 opening their account, the Western Bulldogs will be hoping the lively small forward is up for grabs when they're on the club.
A front-half headache for the opposition, Dovaston would combine nicely with Cody Weightman and Rhylee West at the feet of the Dogs' tall forwards, and can also push up the field to be an additional midfielder.
Others to consider: Jacob Farrow, Sam Grlj
