AFLW 2025 - AFLW Trade and Draft - All the player moves
Due to a number of factors, support for the current BigFooty mobile app has been discontinued. Your BigFooty login will no longer work on the Tapatalk or the BigFooty App - which is based on Tapatalk.
Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Cmon Snuff, both reigning best and fairest in the twos, surely the fact that there are plenty more hbf'ers than rucks kicking about evens it out?
Especially now interchange is 5I dont want to lose Darcy at all.
Won’t lie. Haven’t been following the draft much this year.
Are they seriously in line to have 2 top 6 academy kids?
Yeah nah this bullshit needs to end, ASAP.

Ssshh we haven't gotten rid of him yet!Reidy is a dead set crab
Think the academies have done their job and are now hurting the comp.Yeah they do. They actually have 6 kids this year, the first three are top 5/10, 20-30
Every time I check Liam Ryan's stats I'm shocked that his best ever season is 30 goals.
Serong is closer to the Meek version of stuck in the 2s than ReidyCmon Snuff, both reigning best and fairest in the twos, surely the fact that there are plenty more hbf'ers than rucks kicking about evens it out?
Helps when the AFL prise one of the better/best coaches of the modern era to plonk into the set up for their 'Nepo Babies Academy' (NBA - cute!). With Dimmo there, they suddenly look a slightly better proposition/attraction from the outside looking in. The AFL gets what the AFL wants.Saints have tabled pick 7 for Flanders!
Suns will have 6, 7, 13 and 16!
They are in an incredible position where they can keep pushing picks to future years in case someone pops up like Petracca. They can also move picks back to build points for academy players.
They have a never ending hand in the cookie jar. It has taken time but now that they’ve arrived the base for which they can build on is incredible.

Would be really nice of the Eagles to bid on Uwland and Patterson.
I’ve had enough of the cheap bull shit these clubs get.
If the eagles bid on Uwland at 1 GC are going to need a lot of points
Jai seems to be viewed by Hawks supporters in a similar way to how Freo supporters saw Meek when he was traded. People happy for him to do well as they understand how he was leaving to get more opportunities. Meek's also a great fella.
I disagree. The academies are showing the AFL the BEST way to develop young talent.Think the academies have done their job and are now hurting the comp.
Time to scale it all back and have everyone only have an NGA and that’s it.

How come so many Queenslanders are now good enough to be top 20 draft picks? That didn't happen 10 years ago!
And how many WA kids are worthy of the top 20?
It is because the Queensland kids have a better talent development program ... AFL club academies.
I think we are failing our young WA footballers by not having club academies.
The 14 southern/western clubs should all be demanding their own academies operating the same as the northern academies.
No current season stats available
List rules more of an impediment than anything else. There's the oft-cited "three draft" rule which, if it exists at all, certainly isn't exclusive to the senior draft (many teams have drafted 2). But the rule that's actually real is clubs must have at least three list senior list vacancies in order to take part in the national draft.While im all for all of Simpkin, McVee and Serong, I reckon if Serong picks us that would rule us out of Simpkin. Possibly a bit too much overlap between the three.
Yeah, there's so many ways around the rules as far as im concerned all that matters is how many list spots we have in total across main and rookie.List rules more of an impediment than anything else.

We have 33 + 3 once Brodie and Reidy are gone. The maximum on the senior list is 38, so adding 3 and cutting no others doesn't work if you wanna participate in the draft. Relatively easy to get around - delist and re-rookie contracted players or put Sturt on the LTI list. But that's probably the main road block.
Hawks supporters have said he does the kickouts for Box Hill Hawks. Geez if he could play wing that would be huge for us potentially. He's been described as a good long kick. Perhaps he could potentially at least play the Luke Ryan role.I like it. Get it done boys.

You damn well know that 2026 Fremantle Maiden Premiership hero Bailey Banfield is going to get an extension. Likely +2 years (Fremantle have said many times they don't like to do singular year contracts).There are the players out of contract end of next season:
Sturt, O'Meara, Davies, Voss, McDonald, Nicholls, O'Driscoll, Murphy, Wagner, Carr, Switkowski, Banfield, Riddle, Dudley, Johnson.
I expect Voss, Nicholls, O'Driscoll, Wagner, Switkowski and Johnson to be extended.
Yeah I agree. Darcy is an untouchable as far as I'm concerned.Especially now interchange is 5
Most clubs will run 2 ruckman
And Jackson and Darcy are completely different.
If we had two Darcy’s I’d be keen to ship one off but that’s not the case.
Most of the last quarter come backs were driven by Jackson and Darcy having big last quarters when oppo fatigued.
This but unironically.Surely the journalist union lobbies for Jai to come here over the Swans? Way too many puns to pass up.
A 30 goal season will get you delisted around these parts.
Jai does have interest from other teams though and that affects trade value.Hawks have barely played him in 2 years. He's out of contract. And we've got a track record of developing rucks. I reckon it's a close to even as you could get from a trade value perspective.
