afl.com.au predicted best 21 for 2025

It's easy to see Carlton's first two draftees earn their place in the best side almost immediately. Poppy Scholz's height and skill will be a welcome addition down back, to take some pressure off Harriet Cordner and Kerryn Peterson, while Sophie McKay's speed and goal nous will have her slide into the Blues' forward/midfield rotation. Former Gold Coast captain Tara Bohanna will offer great support to emerging key forward Mia Austin, and the likely return of Erone Fitzpatrick from an ACL injury will add further toe across the half-forward line. Irishwoman Siofra O'Connell will probably push Ciara Fitzgerald and Maddie Hendrie out of the tall defensive rotation, and Jess Good is ahead of Celine Moody as the second ruck behind Breann Moody. Dayna Finn's impressive 2024 has locked away a place on the wing, and Brooke Vickers will be welcomed back from injury to take up her spot on the opposing wing. Draftee Lou-Lou Field will put some pressure on inaugural Blue Gab Pound as a small defender, and both Aisling Reidy and Lila Keck will have their eyes set on Keeley Skepper and Tarni Brown's small forward roles.

Poppy Sophie & Tara are absolute certainties as B22, all talented enough to slot strait in…

Darcy is a bit of a worry looks like she might be declining, needs a solid year and shouldn’t be picked if form is poor…

Not a big fan of Mimi off halfback, prefer her midfield, whilst understanding we’re trying to balance and get games into a few more players, probably worth persevering with for another season, which gives us a more balanced view depending on how her season goes…

Celine should not be played with the other talls in the same team, backup for injury form or rest…

Next wave of young players coming through is encouraging, many still a couple of years away from hitting their potential to the level required, exciting additions of another couple of young Irish ladies joining the club adding to a promising few we look to have already…

List looks better balanced, positional types and leg speed look better, although list still needs a bit more firepower forward, natural strength against the bigger and more aggressive and powerful opponents will have its challenges at times again…

Kickback and see how things progresses for players & coaches this upcoming season…
