Richmond Rant / Re: 2025 AFL Draft

@tommorris32
This AFL rule change helps the six clubs who traded out their first round picks across 2023 and 2024.

2023: Brisbane, Fremantle, Port Adelaide, Richmond

2024: Collingwood, Geelong

what rule change ?

It's to do with trading 2026 and 2027 future first round picks

Plus the Eagles will give St Kilda a 2027 third-round pick –


history has been made with the first 'Future future' pick traded

Victorian clubs looking for ruck depth believe Ivan Soldo is again a trade option this year.

Soldo has one year remaining on his deal at Port and was largely injury free throughout 2025.

The ruck was keen to get to @stkildafc in 2024, it didn’t work out, but he’s open to any Vic club now.

Yeah think they could have done better there too, but freo already have 1 of the youngest lists so think they’d much prefer ready mature players anyway

Did Sharp skip the combine on purpose? I know it’s reported that he was unwell but it wouldn’t surprise me if he was advised to skip a combine which seems to focus on areas that are not his strengths (speed, athleticism) so as to not decrease his draft value.

On the other hand he could just be legitimately sick but I know it’s happens a lot in the NFL. they recently brought in a rule in the NBA where players couldn’t skip the combine it would become ineligible for the draft. Not sure how the rule applies when the players are legitimately sick or injured.

I can't see any family who wants to be drafted supporting their son skip the combine in an attempt to help him get drafted. There is no scenario where Sharp isn't drafted. The only possibly reason they may do this is to slide him down the draft where one of the SA clubs have a pick, a bit similar to the Heppell injury cloud rumour but this would be pretty extreme. There are other ways like chatting to clubs a desire to stay in SA if possible. I'd be really surprised if there wasn't a genuine reason why Sharp couldn't make the combine.

1 million % he is getting drafted, but could a poor combine showing take you from the 1-5 pick range to the 10-15 pick range?

Just a conspiracy theory but like I said it happens a lot in the NFL.
