Over a week on from the 2023 AFL Draft, discussions surrounding which new recruits are in the Round 1 mix are beginning to increase.
Some of the top draft prospects from this year will firmly be in the conversation for a debut early into next year as clubs look to give their new young guns an immediate taste of top-flight football.
While others won't be relying on their new draft additions, each squad has a teenager or mature-aged recruit who could be ready to make their mark on the AFL next March.
Here we've looked to identify the draftee at each club who could be in the mix for a Round 1 showing in 2024.

It's unlikely any of the Lions' new recruits will be banging down the door for a Round 1 appearance, but Morris would be the leading name among the new Brisbane cubs.
The medium-sized forward is well-built and mobile, with the Western Jets product a possible name to consider if Chris Fagan's forward stocks take a hit over the pre-season.
Morris made his VFL debut this year for Werribee and kicked two goals for the Tigers against Footscray before suffering an injury.
