AFL Draft 2024 – AFL Fantasy Scores

The first round of the 2024 AFL National Draft is in the books, and it has delivered an exciting group of players ready to make their mark in the AFL. For AFL Fantasy enthusiasts, this round provided a mix of high-potential players who could become key assets in keeper leagues. Below, we’ve highlighted some standout fantasy prospects selected in the first round, focusing on their recent performances, skillsets, and fantasy scoring potential. These young stars have shown their ability to post impressive numbers across various competitions, making them ones to watch as they transition to senior football.

Jagga Smith (MID)

Jagga Smith’s consistency and prolific ball-winning ability make him one of the most exciting players in this year’s draft. Captaining the Oakleigh Chargers, Smith averaged 113 AFL Fantasy points in the Talent League, which included a season-high 50-disposal game. He transitioned seamlessly to senior football, posting strong numbers in the VFL, including a 104-point game for Richmond. Smith’s ability to extract cleanly at stoppages, find space, and lead by example make him a valuable fantasy asset and an ideal keeper league target for coaches looking to lock in a high-scoring midfielder.

Levi Ashcroft (MID)

Levi Ashcroft, son of Marcus and brother of Will, comes with an impeccable pedigree and is already shaping up to be a fantasy dynamo. Known for his football IQ and elite work rate, Ashcroft dominated the Coates Talent League with an average of 28 disposals per game, including a monstrous 46-disposal, 138-point outing earlier in the year. His readiness for senior football was on full display in the VFL, where he racked up 22 disposals, five tackles, a goal, and 145 AFL Fantasy points in a single game for Brisbane Lions Reserves. With his ability to accumulate disposals and contribute across all facets of the game, Ashcroft is poised to make an immediate impact and is a prime option for keeper league coaches.

Finn O’Sullivan (MID)

Finn O’Sullivan is a versatile midfielder whose athleticism and contested ball-winning ability stand out. However, his fantasy potential remains a question mark. Across all competitions in 2024, O’Sullivan posted only one 100+ AFL Fantasy score, largely due to injury disruptions and inconsistent output. Despite his modest numbers, his tools—speed, athleticism, and contested football—give him room to grow. While he’ll need to prove his ability to accumulate disposals and hit high fantasy scores consistently, O’Sullivan’s potential makes him an intriguing prospect.

Sid Draper (MID)

Sid Draper’s dynamic style and strong work rate have translated to consistent fantasy scoring across multiple levels. In the SANFL League, Draper averaged 24.4 disposals, 6.4 tackles, and 5.6 clearances over his first five games, which included a high of 118 AFL Fantasy points. He also showed his potential in the SANFL U18s with a 121-point game, highlighting his ability to dominate contests. Draper’s mix of speed, contested ball-winning, and tackling pressure makes him an exciting prospect. He’ll be a valuable fantasy pick if he can maintain his output at the senior level.

Harvey Langford (MID/FWD)

Harvey Langford’s powerful inside game and contested ball-winning ability make him a fantasy gem. Standing at 190cm, Langford showcased his versatility and dominance in the Coates Talent League, with multiple 100+ AFL Fantasy scores, including a standout 33-disposal, four-goal performance. As a midfielder, Langford combines size, work ethic, and ball-winning prowess to consistently deliver strong numbers. His ability to impact contests and distribute effectively with his penetrating left foot ensures he’ll be a reliable option for fantasy coaches looking to draft a well-rounded midfielder.
