2025 Draft Thread

A few of the recruiting department have spent time in SA recently watching the under 18s. Looks like it will be a bit of a hunting ground for us this year.

As mentioned previously, I really like Barker from Sturt. Hope he is on our radar. Great size, speed and good kick.

I think he is one we should all have a better look at.

With a name like Barker it’d be a travesty if he went anywhere else.

We didn't draft West Barker last year

North Melbourne legend Syd Barker.

Great, we are back to drafting unknown South Aussie left footers…..that’s a sure sign we aren’t signing Bevo back up

Hey now, Jordan McMahon nabbed us Callan Ward nabbed us Jack Macrae nabbed us Matt Kennedy so we’re still get value from one of those South Australian left footers!

Can someone help me find a link from Christian Howard to Joel Freijah now?

Lol I couldn’t remember his name, but Howard was the one that we all went WTF on draft night. Didn’t even have a picture of his profile.

Best link I can come up with is Fridge is from Horsham which is on the road to Adelaide / Sa….that’s will do

Don't think we have a third or fourth round pick this year

Draft picks change hands so much it isn't worth considering at this point. Especially when a first round pick could be in the 40s the way the AFL hand out compensation picks.

More quick, skillful, players with great foot skills please. The game is trending that way ... inside mids are more common and can be traded for more cheaply.

 

[nashhh]

Love to get our hands on Josh Lindsay from the falcons, has a great left foot

 

[JTCWBFC]

We have a 1st round pick this year right?

 

[The Inbetweener]

Yep and a 2nd rounder. We traded our 3rd and 4th rounders for Davidson and Luke Kennedy.

Cheers mate

We still have a pick for this year too, don’t we? To use in the mid season draft.

Yeah we have a pick in the MSD

 

[Wizard17]

Honestly want to see more of Luca Muratore from our VFL program over the next few rounds against actual opposition but looked a cut above VFL level last week admittedly against crap opposition but still.

Connor Evans as an overager for the Pioneers had a great start to the season. 182cm intercepting half back had 22 touches and 10 marks. Was mentioned by a few on here as a late pick in the draft just gone. Interested to see what position we’re looking at in the MSD.

Might be a mature aged Ruck…….. just my very humble opinion

All the mature types I have seen are not really worth it. Most of the rucks who look AFL level to me are very raw.

We do love our overagers. Gags, Lachie Young, et al

We already have a 'raw and not ready' ruck on the list. I don't think we need a second one.

Someone who can actually step in as a mature player, yes I'd take one.
