I'm just teasing with the reaction really. I'd have gone Lindsay but won't pretend I have any real ideas of what I'm talking about

At pick #18, GWS selects Xavier Lindsay.

GWS lost a number of midfielders and defenders during the trade period, so someone who can play midfield or defence - and particularly someone who has versatility across several positions - is a perfect list fit. While he would not be a certainty to play round 1, with a good pre-season I could certainly see Xavier come into calculations for an early debut. I would expect him to start his career on a wing (where GWS definitely has a spot that is up for grabs), but as he develops his game we would look to move him into an inside midfielder role. His ball use into a forward 50 line that includes Hogan, Stringer, Greene and Cadman could unlock a higher scoring rate for the Giants.

Others considered: Taj Hotton, Sam Marshall

Gippsland Power / Victoria Country

DRAFT RANGE: 12-20

SUMMARY:

Clubs in the market for consistent, tough and damaging players who can fulfil a variety of roles should look no further than Lindsay. He firms as a genuine top 20 talent who could feature anywhere within night one of the draft – potentially just outside the first 10 picks. Likely to slot in as a half-back or wingman early in his AFL career, Lindsay offers good scope as a midfielder and his productive ball use suits the way many sides like to shift the ball quickly from end to end. Left footers just look a class above at times, and he fits that bill.

STRENGTHS:

• Ball use
• Consistency
• Inside-outside balance
• Kick penetration
• Versatility
• Work rate

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Endurance
• Inside craft

Lindsay is a player whose improvement areas are difficult to identify given he does so many things well, and has no glaring weaknesses. His best trait is arguably his ball use, credit to a raking left-foot kick when is often used to penetrate the attacking 50. He uses the ball well on the run, either wheeling away from stoppages or chaining possessions on the outside. Lindsay makes the right decisions and is largely effective in the short and long-range.

If being pedantic, Lindsay's kicking is perhaps at its best when lowering his eyes. He is adept at gaining quick metres and compounding them by launching the ball long, but looks so slick when darting short passes inside, down the line, or to leading targets inside 50. Either way, he generates great momentum in attacking phases either as a connective outside runner or clearance winner.

Having cut his teeth as a wingman and defender, Lindsay began to gain midfield exposure late last year and that was his primary position for Gippsland in 2024. He still reverted back to that original posting at times for Vic Country and the AFL Academy, but came into the year wanting to improve his inside craft and followed through to average 5.4 clearances from 23.4 disposals in the Coates Talent League.

In that sense, Lindsay gets a big tick for versatility. He has maintained his quality on the wing and flanks while improving his contested work and enjoying stints up forward. Few others have the same kind of inside-outside balance as he is developing, and continuing to build his endurance base will only widen his scope. It will also lend to greater durability and see him become even more prolific from contest to contest.

Lindsay's consistency is felt through his work rate and week-on-week output. He is capable of racking up bulk possessions as a designated kicker or go-to at the centre bounces, hardly wavering in his ability to have between 20-30 touches. Even if he doesn't his ball use makes him a high-impact type. While most midfielders' defensive running could improve, Lindsay has also shown an appetite for tackling and hunts the opposition.

He's the type of leader who can drive standards and lead by example. He did so with a relatively young Gippsland group this year having garnered tips from a squad which produced six draftees in 2023, and one as an over-ager in 2024. Having had arguably his best outing on the biggest of stages - the National Championships final - Lindsay proved he can rise to the occasion and compete with the best of the best.

Was between those 2 but went with Hynes as he’s the big bodied forward/Mid kinda reminds me of LDU and berry went the pick before

. While a lot of draft rankings have him in the mid-20s or later, I am much more bullish on what he can bring to a team. Like Xavier Lindsay, I was looking for a good user of the football, which Harry pairs with a competitive nature, and his gameplay is well balanced between defence and counterattack.

Others considered: Sam Marshall, Oliver Hannaford

Sandringham Dragons / Victoria Metro

From https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/harrison-oliver/

DRAFT RANGE: 15-30

SUMMARY:

Oliver provides a handy point of difference in what has long shaped as a midfield-heavy draft. His home is across half-back, but he has the traits to translate to each third of the field if required. The intangibles like work rate, courage, and competitiveness are all traits which Oliver possesses, and he has the skill to compliment them. Such classy ball users, particularly by foot, are in high demand so expect the Sandringham product to be one of many Dragons in first round contention. If not, it is hard to see him lasting much further than the pick 25 mark.

STRENGTHS:

• Intercepting
• Kicking
• Reading the play
• Toughness
• Vision
• Work rate

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Accumulation
• Four-quarter consistency

Oliver's bread and butter is distributing the ball by foot. He's one of, if not the best left-foot kick in the draft and consistently opens up the game with incisive passes. His vision and decision making are excellent, helping him identify and execute options across both short and long ranges. His average 16.3 disposals at the National Championships hit at an 83 per cent efficiency rate, with Oliver ably piercing the opposition's defensive zones, or clearing them.

Another trait which has served Oliver well across the journey is his intercepting. Opposition forwards would detest playing on him, such was his intercept prowess, and that has carried all the way through to his top-age season. Oliver reads the play well to mop up at ground level and competes bravely in the air. He is capable of reeling in marks at full stretch or going back with the flight, essentially playing above his height in that regard.

It's that kind of competitiveness and constant motion, along with his playmaking, that has seen Oliver labelled the "heartbeat" of Sandringham's side by coach Rob Harding. His work rate is phenomenal and not only will he put his body on the line defensively, but he also contributes repeat efforts on the attack. He's the type of player who can control the ball in slow play or spark quick transitions with his overlap running.

While often reliable and quite consistent from week-to-week, Oliver can look to chance his four-quarter output. He will sometimes have a standout quarter or two, but is the kind of player coaches will want to repeatedly be fed the ball to dictate play throughout the game. It shows in his disposal numbers, where barring school footy, his highest haul was 25 at the National Championships. His best was 19 in the Coates Talent League, twice.

Oliver also hinted at improving his ground balls during preseason. At 181cm, he will be hard pressed to be as impactful in the air at the next level, and with his secondary position being in midfield, you can never be too good at the fundamentals. Oliver showed growth in that area in his breakout game against the Allies, proving polished in the wet conditions by both hand and foot.

Next pick by West Coast Eagles; over to SumaGodCoach.

blueiris I've added the draft order & results post as a sticky.

Hopefully that helps everyone keep on top of who has or has not been taken, as you can see the draft on the top of each page.

Let me know if you don't want it as a sticky for whatever reason.

I give you permission to update the draft any way you see fit thanks Jeremias

Oh I’m definitely not updating the order - that’s all yours!

Just thought I’d make it a bit easier for you.

 

[year of the cat]

Cats offer their F1 for one of the next 3 Tigers picks depending whether who I’m after is still available.

 

[blueiris]

I hate doing this but I think Sam Marshall goes around here on draft night maybe a little higher he's also what Richmond needs Bid on Sam Marshall briztoon do accept the bid

 

[Wrenny]

Good draft so far for the Tiges blueiris … hoping the next 2 players come to us in the next 3 picks!

 

[WilloTree]

Pick 17 Fremantle Select: Cooper Hynes

Nice

 

[guruisatiger]

I did say that I got confused

No argument there

 

[THE_GUN]

This draft is so far A+ for Richmond and i would be more than happy if this scenario worked out

blueiris dont stuff it up mate with the next pick ​

 

[theGav56]

Snuffaluphagus happy with the selection? Or shocked he made it that far

I like him. A bit of a forward leaning beast, which is a better match for us than Bo Allan. You certainly appear to have 'reached' but the position of our list can justify that: keep adding forward weapons.
