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.

5Essendon

Sam Cumming

The Bombers have a handful of list needs and a pair of top 10 picks, meaning there are several draft stars that would be enticing to secure in the early stages of the draft.

Cumming is certainly a name in that mix off the back of his strong year with South Australia and North Adelaide as a strong-marking 186cm forward-midfield hybrid.

His leap, read of the game and X-factor pedigree excite, and he would likely be positioned in the front half for Essendon while also being able to add a point of difference to their midfield via rotation.

Others to consider: Cooper Duff-Tytler, Sullivan Robey
