GOLD Coast and North Melbourne have stockpiled plenty of talent, while a premiership contender has more star power than most.

The Suns and Kangaroos top the League for the most number of top-10 draft picks on their lists with 10 apiece.

Both added to that number at the 2024 Telstra AFL Draft, with the Suns welcoming Academy product Leo Lombard and the Roos picking midfielder Finn O'Sullivan.

Essendon led the competition for this number a year ago, but the retirement of Dyson Heppell and departures of Jake Stringer (traded to Greater Western Sydney) and Sam Weideman (delisted) means the Bombers now have nine top-10 picks on their list.

Fremantle and the Giants are next, alongside St Kilda, which has eight, up from five last year.

The Saints welcomed Tobie Travaglia and Alix Tauru at this year's draft and landed former Western Bulldogs midfielder Jack Macrae (No.6 pick in 2012) in a trade.

Like last year, West Coast is bottom of this list, with Harley Reid and Reuben Ginbey the only top-10 picks at the Eagles.

For the second year in a row, Sydney will enter the new season with the most All-Australians on their list.

The Swans were equal with Port Adelaide at the top last year, but added first-timers in 2024 in Chad Warner and Nick Blakey, while Luke Parker left the club to join North Melbourne.

Carlton and Collingwood each have eight All-Australians, one less than Sydney.
