And of we took Trengove or Scully instead of Dusty then we’d have ended up with none

I would have said you are being too cynical until I read down to the end of the next paragraph.
Seriously. From the absurd to the ridiculous.

AFLW expert Sarah Black has crunched the numbers ahead of the AFLW Draft on Monday night, and this is how she sees the first round playing out
By Sarah Black
afl.com.au
Dec 14, 2025
SCARLETT JOHNSON
Position: Utility
Height: 175cm
From: Victoria, Northern Knights/Eltham
A genuine draft bolter, Johnson's selling points are her athleticism and strong overhead marking. Can play across all three lines, including as a taller midfielder (for reference, she's the same height as Bri Davey) and is a noted leader. Strong Telstra AFLW Combine test results: third in the agility, ninth in the running vertical jump and 10th in the 20m sprint. U18 All-Australian at half-back, Coates Talent League Team of the Year on the wing, and Northern Knights best and fairest.
Where could she go?
Richmond appears most likely at pick one, having traded up to get access ahead of a host of clubs who were keen. Greater Western Sydney is waiting with picks two and three.
OLIVIA WOLMARANS
Position: Key forward
Height: 180cm
From: Western Australia, Subiaco/Mt Hawthorn
The top key forward in the pool. A classic old-school target, but with plenty of athleticism to add to the mix. Comes from a truly unique sporting background of heptathlon and rugby before focusing purely on footy. Booming kick, agile at ground level and Under-18 All-Australian for the past two years.
Where could she go?
Greater Western Sydney has its eyes firmly on the West Australian with pick No.2. Wouldn't look out of place at Punt Road, either.
CHLOE BOWN
Position: Midfielder
Height: 174cm
From: Victoria, Oakleigh Chargers/Kew
Bown does everything very, very well. A midfielder who can find the goals, she's a strong tackler, tenacious and a quiet accumulator. Finished fourth in the Combine's 2km time trial. Has a heaving bookshelf after an insane final season of junior footy – Under-18 All-Australian captain, Vic Metro MVP, overall MVP of the national championships, Coates Talent League B&F and Oakleigh's B&F.
Where could she go?
Was looking like a lock at pick No.1 until Richmond's change of heart. Unlikely to head to GWS, and could very well slide to Adelaide at pick No.4.

« Last post by one-eyed on Yesterday at 02:56:13 PM »Who will Tigers take with pick 1?
Richmond targeted Pick 1 during the trade period and struck a deal with the Suns to land the coveted first selection. The Tigers rate three players above all others in the pool, but there’s a growing belief they’ll pounce on Northern Knights product Scarlett Johnson — a versatile defender/wing who put together a strong campaign for the Knights and Vic Metro. Her stocks were only boosted during the national combine, where she produced three top-10 finishes in the 20m sprint, agility test and running vertical jump.
Oakleigh Chargers star Chloe Bown and Subiaco key forward Olivia Wolmarans are the other players in Richmond’s Pick 1 mix.
Bown won just about everything possible in her draft year, dominating for the Chargers, Metro and AFLW Academy. She’s a beast around the coalface, can kick on both sides of her body and loves to hit the scoreboard. A hard-worker with a strong footy IQ, Bown has plenty of upside at the top level.
Wolmarans is the best open pool key position player, blessed with pure athleticism and strong aerial ability. She’s fast, agile and has a booming kick.

December 14th, 2025
Welcome to the 2025 Fox Footy AFLW Phantom Draft!
Around 45 to 50 players are expected to be taken in the 2025 AFLW draft, which will begin at 7pm (AEDT) on Monday December 15 — live and exclusive on Fox Footy, via Foxtel (Channel 504) and Kayo Sports.
Foxfooty.com.au predicts how the first 25 picks of the AFLW draft will pan out, including nine rival-club bids, plus the inside word on which prospects your club could take.
PICK 1: RICHMOND – SCARLETT JOHNSON
Position: Winger/defender
Height: 175cm
Clubs: Northern Knights/Eltham
The Tigers trade up to Pick 1 for the young gun from Eltham, knowing both the Giants and Crows have strong interest. A versatile player with excellent running capacity, strong footy IQ and arguably the best aerial game in this year’s pool, Johnson put together an awesome 2025 campaign. Despite missing AFL Academy selection, Johnson made the Under 18 All-Australian team after averaging 19.5 disposals per game for Vic Metro. She also won the Knights’ best and fairest award and made the Coates Talent League team of the year. Johnson then produced three top-10 finishes at the national draft combine in the 20m sprint, agility test and running vertical jump.
In the mix:
There’s still speculation the Tigers aren’t completely set on Johnson at Pick 1. The other two contenders are tall forward Olivia Wolmarans — who recently met again with the Tigers — and midfielder Chloe Bown. Some clubs have Bown as the No. 1 prospect in this year’s class, while a couple of sources believe the Tigers will take Wolmarans. But Johnson has also met with Richmond in the past week …
PICK 2: GWS GIANTS – OLIVIA WOLMARANS
Position: Tall forward
Height: 181cm
Clubs: Subiaco/Mt Hawthorn Cardinals
An athletic and versatile goalkicker who was named at centre half-forward in this year’s Under 18 All-Australian team — 12 months after being named in the same line-up as a bottom-ager. Representing WA, Wolmarans averaged 12.5 disposals, 4.2 marks and 1.5 goals per game at the national championships, with her match-winning four-goal performance against the Allies the standout game. What makes Wolmarans such an exciting AFLW player is her attack on the ball and competitiveness, both in the air at ground level. Couple that with her strong marking ability and you’ve got a forward who’s going to be hard to contain at the top level.
PICK 6: ADELAIDE CROWS – CHLOE BOWN
Position: Midfielder
Height: 173cm
Clubs: Oakleigh Chargers/Kew Comets
What a result this would be for Adelaide. Bown literally won everything this year. She was crowned the best and fairest player of 2025 national championships, won Vic Metro’s MVP award and earned selection as the Under 18 All-Australian captain after steering her team to back-to-back title wins. Bown’s season was book-ended by a best on ground medal when representing the Australia Under 18 team against the All Stars in April and the Coates Talent League best and fairest award in September after averaging 29 disposals and six tackles per game. Clubs view Bown as a consistent, competitive and relentless on-baller with an incredible work ethic and ability to kick well on both feet. Her ability to break lines and set up scores for her team are also weapons in an already loaded arsenal.
