2025 AFL Draft

[Tiger Khosh]

I feel like the narrative has shifted lately in that if starcevich chooses to go to the eagles, we’ll have pick 2 and 3 come draft night.

Twomey reckons Duursma and Duff-Tytler are now the clear top 2 as far as the open market draftees and the Eagles likely picks.

Doubt they pass on sharp

.they'll trade for him instead , or not take him at all.

More chance of a cold day in hell than them losing p2 sadly

Two of sharp CDT duursma at Richmond would be outstanding result. Perfect end to north death ride

Sharp and CDT is probably my #1 preference.

I'm in danger of sounding like a broken record but our ruck stocks are essentially this:
Nank (workhorse + gets banged up)
Ryan (crap)
OHB (crap + likely to never debut)
Sims (kid + forward/ruck hybrid)

CDT is more of a ruck/forward hybrid and in 5+ years I think him tag-teaming the ruck/forward duties with Sims would be a great plan, with Armstrong and Faull the two permanent tall forwards.

Would be happy with duursma over sharp as well.

If you look at the projected future side - something like.


Miller. Gibcus. Balta.
Brown. Trainor. Banks.
Rioli. Smillie. Mansell.
Algar. Faull. Lalor.
Campbell. Armstrong. Taranto.
Sims. Hotton. McAuliffe


The wings looks close to the greatest area of weakness. Duursma would instantly improve that.

Other options like trezsie and co. Are suboptimal too. .

CDT is a risk but you don't often get the chance to take unicorns and as you say he'd pair with Sims and replace nank perfectly in theory.

New rules should help too
