2025 AFL Draft

[Tiger Khosh]

If dons get P7 for draper there should be a royal commission

Band 2 at best surely. Htf would lions afford a band 1 compo?

They’re saying it’s most likely band 2 which is end of 1st round compo.

That is unless they do a dodgy and agree to change the terms to trigger band 1 under the hush hush wink wink agreement that bombers play ball and trade them Ridley for a lesser than draft pick.

Don't forget the AFL can literally adjust the compensation if they deem is not appropriate, formula aside.

Dons are a basket case so they'll probably get Band 1, just like WCE will get it for Allen.

Yeah i can see the AFL giving them band 1 as it looks like they’ll lose Merrett, Ridley, Laverde and Draper this off-season.

At least it doesn’t impact our picks.

The sooner the AFL get rid of FA compo altogether the better. Pretty much rewarding clubs for not being able to hold onto their players.

Also prevents matching bids too.

Just get rid of compo
Let clubs trade players wherever tf they want if they want out

^^^ this

Have said it many, many times....

FA only favours the players...

To even things up Clubs should be able to trade contracted players to whichever Club they want, the one that offers the best deal

AFLPA will never ever agree to this.

Cal Twomey sounding increasingly confident wce taking Duursma and CDT.

[one-eyed]

RICHMOND VFL prospect Harry Scott has won an invitation to test at the state Draft Combine next month, in a sure sign the midfielder is in the sights of AFL clubs.

Scott has moved from the wing to the midfield this season and caught the eye of clubs looking for another success story from the Tigers' VFL program.

The 20-year-old, 191cm prospect has averaged 21 disposals this season and had a strong second half of the year and will take part in the State Combine on Sunday, October 5.

Hes has been pretty consistent with that all year and Twomey usually nails the first 10-15 picks every year.

[taztiger4]

yes he does, never this far out though, still over 2 months away

I hope he’s right.

A big assumption that WC will get the second pick if they recruit Staravich
