Preview 2025 AFL Draft General Discussion

[Mutineer]

Games are about to start.

Daresay some shuffling on boards might be enacted post games.

Scrappy game, NSW/ACT lads look more physically developed than most of the VC lads.

 

[bluebaggerjuls]

26 for VC looks massive

Did all the better Vic players skip this besides the Eastern boys and Duff-Tytler?

Geez, James Milner playing for QLD??

Its not enough that he plays more than 20 seasons in the Premier League, now he moves over here and starts a new footy career.

Isn't he just.

His name is Tairon Ah Mu and he's about 199cm.

Riley Onley would have been the 1st picked if I was a selector, Harley Hicks too

 

[tombomb]

First time I have seen King play and he looks like a serious prospect.

Surely Onley injured or declined. He made the 18s team as prime on baller.

He should given he has been in the AFL system for quite a few years now. In fact it is a bit weird that he even wants to play in a Under 17's game.

And people say you need to go see a Rob Schneider film to get A grade comedy. Where are those people now?!

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Allies will have a better side next year than 2023 national champions

Can’t see anyone beating them

 

[Futbolista]

Did you guys see 2025 prospect Sam Swadling (WA) just play for WP? You ought to if you're serious about rating prospects accurately.

 

[danster168]

is Kalani White even playing? I've watched for 15 mins and still haven't even seen him on screen

Playing in defence I think

Haven't watched all of this but nothing has suggested Greeves is anywhere near Sharp from what I have seen.

Any one catch the U17 trial games yesterday? How’d our boy El-Achkar go?

Best players and goal kickers if anyone cares to list

Would love a run down aswell!

 

[danster168]

For Dees fans, Ah-Mu had 11 possessions, 4 marks and 1 goal 2 behinds. He's undersized for a ruckman in terms of height, but moves quite well for a guy has heavy as him. He would have to be close to 110kg. He's a one grab mark but my main criticism of him is that he seems to lack aggression and use his size advantage the way he should.

I don't seem him as a first round prospect unless he grows to be over 202/203cm or improves his forward craft and becomes stronger in the contest.

 

[OnLooker1932]

Well if you watch the u17 QLD vs Vic Metro game - Annable and Uwland just an absolute class above.

Pretty even performance outside those 2, but they are very special players. Top 10 bids incoming I would think

El-Akchar from what I watched was really impactful, kicked a goal or two. Even had a pinch as a inside mid later in the game despite his stature. Best on for Vic M would be Sam Grjl, and for Queensland it would be Dan Annable.

Felix Kneipp continues to catch my eye, think he's a pretty special talent.

One to kneipp an eye on?

Reckon I watched 50% of this game and Greeves couldn't get near it.

Must have been huge rest of the game.

Apart from the getting the 1st centre clearance of the game, I didn’t see much else of him in the 1st half, he did perform a bit better in the 2nd half, but not enough to be 1st in the best.
