For fans of struggling sides, the AFL Draft is as close to Christmas as possible.
Fresh faces act as shiny, new toys, with goodwill and cheer also available in abundance.
While every club has hit the track for their pre-Christmas training period and each of the new boys have filled their lockers with brand new gear, sights have turned to which of this year's draft class has the ability to make an early impact in 2022.
Although plenty of players plucked will need big summers in the gym, there are a handful of precocious talents that already have expectations on their shoulders.
Here are the names that look the most likely to hit the ground running in their debut years.
Sinn will be competing with the likes of Darcy Byrne-Jones and Riley Bonner for playing time off half-back, but considering Port's dealings to move up the order and secure the Victorian, Port Adelaide is likely to want to blood him early in the season.
Sinn has speed and line-breaking ability and will look to add to an already-fast Port Adelaide side in early 2022.
