2025 AFL Draft

[ajGreen]

Whatever happens, we are still guaranteed to get two gun players provided the club doesn't royally stuff up.

Any combination of CDT, Duuuuuuurzma, Sharp, Marsh, Lindsay etc.

I'm quite keen on CDT as a ruck/forward. Can see him and Sims sharing the roles longer term.

Midfield would have to be made up of '26 P3, Lalor, Smillie, Hotton, KMac2 (yep I like him), then some chumps like Taranto, Hopper, Ross, Dow etc. Heck target a FA like Butters and we have a stew cooking.


Could be Sims/CDT ruck/forward.
Armstrong/Faull key forwards.

Backline of Balta, Miller, Young.

Plenty to be excited about.

Apparently Lindsay was rubbish in the u18.

Id go sharp and NHH.

Assuming wce take CDT and duursma

[pmac21]

I like the idea of pairing Sharp & Kellaway.

Anyone know how highly KB’s grandson is rated in this years draft?

One out of left field, we could offer North our pick 3 for FOS seeing I have heard the he is living with our draftees from last season.

Eagles skipper tells club he wants to join rival... it could give the wooden spooners picks 1 AND 2

West Coast co-captain Oscar Allen has reportedly informed the club of his desire to move to the Brisbane Lions as a free agent.

Nine’s Tom Morris reports Allen told the Eagles of his plans to depart for the 2024 premiers at his exit meeting last Friday in a move that’d been widely speculated on for some time.

As Allen is a free agent, he can change clubs without the need for a trade. But because Allen is a restricted free agent, the Eagles have the power to match any offer he receives or take the AFL’s compensation, which could be Pick 2.

That would give the Eagles the first two picks in the 2025 National Draft.

WCE would be mad not to match any offer that isn't bringing in P2.

AFL would be mad not to give WCE P2 in lieu of official priority assistance.

So we're going to the draft with 3+4. Lock it in.

Tigers plot draft bombshell

Jon Ralph

Richmond is open to using its pair of top five draft picks, trading one for elite talent or even splitting them for multiple selections.

Richmond has the No. 2 and No. 3 draft picks in the 2025 national draft after securing the Roos’ first pick last year in a trade that saw it hand over its 2025 second-round pick.

But by the time West Coast secures a first-band compensation pick for the departing Oscar Allen those picks will be pushed back to No. 3 and No. 4

The Eagles look keen on the versatile Victorian 191cm hybrid mid Willem Duursma as well as 200cm Calder Cannons ruck-forward Cooper Duff-Tytler.

SANFL mid Dyson Sharp, North Adelaide mid-forward Sam Cumming, elite kick Josh Lindsay and big bodied Eastern Ranges mid Ollie Greeves are all players the Tigers could consider with early picks but also need to continue bolstering their midfield.

They will also consider their father-son prospect Louis Kellaway as a later selection.

But they have not ruled out using one of those picks for established talent in the right age bracket if a chance arises.

Clubs like Gold Coast could also be keen to get up the draft order to take a pick before they match bids on their array of academy selections.

Changes to the bidding system mean those top five picks are worth their weight in gold given their points value so clubs could need those selections to match bids.

It means Richmond is in a perfect position to consider offers, with the evenness of a relatively poor draft meaning the Tigers might be happy to drop back in the order several spots to bolster their 2025 or future draft hand.

“We have to work out how we can stay in the game longer against the quality teams,” he said.

“But as a whole we feel like we have got some growth and games into players. Our first year boys showed huge growth.

“To see Taj Hotton get the second part of the season, to see Harry Armstrong come in, Seth Campbell’s season was outstanding and he’s backed it up. It’s two years in a row and he’s going to be a huge part of our future as well as Sam Banks and Tom Brown. Add that to the first year boys and hopefully we can bounce back quickly.”

Let’s not get fancy here. Take the 2 best mids available in the draft with picks 3 and 4 and get a 3rd or 4th rounder in to get kellaway.

Perfect

And I actually don't want any mids without good breakaway speed at P3+4

[pmac21]

Hibbins Hargreaves & Cumming for me now. 

[one-eyed]

The ability and mentality to attack and break lines with pace makes Sam Grlj a unique option in this draft pool

Spot on

[camboon]

Tend to agree , get the best 2 that fill our biggest gaps , mids with speed and maybe a class ruck with the exception being if we are offered a deal that’s just too good pass up ( like pick 3 for pick 21 scenario🙏)
