List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft

[Charlie Pannam]

SA teams will come hard for our no 1 pick next year, if next year plays out the way we think, and Sharp is top2/3.
Just need Norfs development to stall, and we go into 25 draft with 1 and 2/3/4.
Then we either take the best 2 players in the land or trade one of those picks for multiple selections and or a F1.
I reckon Blair can continue to weave his magic over the next couple of seasons, with more an emphasis on quality over quantity.
Also might have a couple of ok FS selections over the next 2 drafts and perhaps even an academy selection.

With what?
Adelaide don't have a 2nd rounder and Port don't have a 1st
Sure they can use future picks, but not sure that's what we'll be wanting at our point of a rebuild

 

[Joey longshadow]

It’s hard to like a duursma though. If he becomes the clear no.1 though I’ll grudgingly overlook the character flaw of being related to Xavier

I feel the same ..the older brother comes across as a complete flog
Having said that the talk is this one is the best of them all and he's around 190cm ..so a good height ...but most importantly of all it seems he's very good at football which funnily enough is the really important bit

 

[Ctl]

I think Jack dalton will rise as the year progresses, very tidy player but probably lacks the size and speed of others

If Sharp is the best player at our pick then we pick him and not trade the pick. SA thing is irrelevant to me

There’s others ways to acquire picks , ie trading established players.
If teams want a player badly enough they’ll find a way.
If Sharp turns out to be a standout next year, they’ll be lining up.

Be nice if he grew 10cm over next 12 months. The kicking and speed would be a nice add to the team

Stars of the future: 10 draft prospects to watch in 2025 - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1256448

A few from Twomeys list last year didn't get picked this week lol

No Rodriguez

Too many key position players in that list for my liking

Sure, but to get the type of picks we'd consider trading down to from Pick 1, they'd need to be trading away an absolute star. To get Pick 1 you'd need to trade a Top 5 pick and probably a Top 10, maybe with a 2nd rounder thrown in as well. Given their starting position, that's going to be very tough to achieve.

Butters and their future 1st?

 

[Wrenny]

Sharp would compliment Smillie & Lalors game with his first touch, hard defensive style. Tackle machine

 

[Infamy]

Butters and their future 1st?

I'd say no, their future 1st won't be great
Would rather take Sharp for the longer career

 

[tigs2010]

Mostly because Twomey missed the best mids lol.

Agreed but I would love a Butters style mid to go with our bulls and Sharp is another bull.

 

[Barnzy]

If we pick Sharp good luck getting a clearance against our on ball trio for the next decade

Lalor (188cm, maybe 190?), Smilie (195cm), Sharp (188cm and growing)

All going to be around 90kg +

AFL will change the rules, no tackling in the middle of the ground after we just beat teams up

Greeves is 191cm too

Sure, but who's to say that Lalor won't be playing more of a Dusty type role that spends more time in the forward line.
You need a good 10 players to rotate through the middle these days

 

[tigs2010]

Stole this from Haggas off the phantom draft board.

Outside of Uwland we shouldn't be affected too much by academy with our 2 picks.

 

[Bird Man]

So how much harder is the bidding mechanics for next years draft?

Gold Coast has 5 academy players in the top 30 next year. Swans have 3, Brisbane has 1 (argubally another top 5 pick), Tasmania has 1, Pies have 1 F/S Cats 1, WCE 3

Thats what whopping 15 tied players in the top 30...

They better pour some of that Membership money into developing our NGA program if thats the way the AFL is headed.

It's crazy but also why we traded all our later future picks. 4d chess

Surprised Addinsal is a late first.

Probably does, but we still need elite speed in their and Hotton is the only mid we have with elite speed so far.

 

[Richmond Flats]

We're still going to need some bigger bodies to protect the new kids for 3 years.
It takes a while for draftees to be able to become full time starting midfielders and clubs that put too much on the kids too early end up stifling their development or running them into the ground

Bring back the bodyguard:

Where are you getting these numbers of club tied players for top 30? Matches with nothing I’ve seen, the afl academy only has 7 out of 28 for next year.
