2025 AFL Draft

[mightytiges]

Our next bid was on Hussien El Achkar. Bombers match it.

[WilliamPowell]

Bidmond is back again 

And again at 53

Hussein El Achkar an Essendon kid and they matched too

So here we go at 54 

[WilliamPowell]

It's actually a great thing all this bidding

Just highlights how pathetic the system is

[Simonator]

Another SA kid. Cant help but feel like this is done to help Cumming along too.. could be a reach but strange to draft 3 from SA

[Tiger Khosh]

Am I right in saying we have 1 list spot remaining? So if we pick at 61 we don’t have a  spot senior or rookie left for kellaway?

54. Rich - Noah Roberts-Thomson

55. Collingwood - Zac McCarthy

56. Hawthorn  - Matthew LeRay

57. Collingwood - Angus Anderson

It's rare for me to be disappointed with our draft night. Can't recall when I've been this frustrated.

I follow the Vic boys a lot so to have 1 player from Vic, no Kellaway F/S, Greeves left and we passed late. Don't like being negative with untried kids but unsure if the recruitment team have had a glowing day 2..

We passed on our last pick.

So if we want Louis Kellaway it will be in the rookie draft.

Greeves is slow with poor endurance. Not surprised at all that he didn’t get picked. That type of pure mid is being phased out. I mean look at Sharp, by all accounts has been the best most consistent performer for a couple of years and he slid all the way to 13.

I’m very surprised NHH hasn’t been picked up.

58. St Kilda - Ryan Byrnes (redrafted)

59. GWS - Jake Stringer (redrafted)

60. Bulldogs - Will Darcy (F/S)



And that's all folks for the National Draft!

Twomey just said it's the lowest number of picks taken on record.

I know he represented SA but it seems like him and his family have been constantly moving states,  I read/watched an interview where that was mentioned. Not sure he needs an entourage of SA boys to help him from getting homesick.

He's not really a SA kid though, he's from the NSW/VIC border etc.

But yes it's strange.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

It must also be one of the lowest numbers for Vic metro to be drafted as well - particularly in round 1.
