2025 AFL Draft

[Diocletian]

Reid's 20 not 25-26, he'll only be two years older than next year's draftees , he's form this year is irrelevant even though it's still a better "down year" than most kids have, you won't find a better player than him in this year's draft and he would've gone #1 in last year's and the year before he was drafted. Our rebuild should've started last year anyway and getting Reid will address that, plus we'll still be getting Kellaway , could rookie Raso who looks a likely type & El Nour who could be anything (despite what WP thinks) and looks like we've finally got some decent NGA & F/S coming through next year in Armstrong, Roberts, Leys & Daffy with or without the possibility of still hanging on to our 2026 first rounder. All of the above's before even considering we might trade out some more players and pick up some handy free agents, dfas  or fringe players from other clubs, like the filth have pretty much built their premiership list with, - far from "selling the farm", it's no-brainer really.

Dio if WC ask for both our first rounders this year and our first next year straight up for Reid without getting anything else back, would you do that deal?

I’m about sold if it’s our 2 firsts this year for Reid and eagles third rounder (to get kellaway), but that’s where I’d draw the line.

Our picks this year will be 3-5 and if we’re being realistic our first next year will be top3 too. Something like 3 + 4 + 3 for any player is wild. I’d rather get 3 x 8/10 prospects than 1 x 10/10 prospect with where our list is at.

Let’s see if he’s available and what’s the asking price , what’s the chances he re signs anyway and even if he wants to come home he chooses  the likes of Geelong or Collingwood .
A pipe dream and not worth 2 top 5 picks and definitely not 3 top 5 picks IMHO.

Disagree with 2 (unless the talent scouts rate this draft highly which by all accounts, that doesn’t seem to be the case). Agree not worth 3.

Neither Collingwood nor Geelong have the draft capital to satisfy WC.

[camboon]

It’s a just fantasy at this stage, just navel gazing with no solid evidence  , and
history shows those clubs find a way if they want a player,
There is always good prospects in the top 5 , just not a top 25 like last year , that why it was such a good draft
