Final Draft Order ahead of the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft.

Has anyone done the math on the likely picks we would have on draft night when it comes time to match on Annable, if it plays out like Twomey has predicted?

With three bids coming before Annable (Dean, Zeke & Dean) wiping out some picks for GC and Carlton?

If the bid comes at Pick 6, we'd use Pick 17 & 23 to match it and have our remaining 3 picks left, pending any further trades.

 

[Comeback Lions]

If the bid comes at Pick 6, we'd use Pick 17 & 23 to match it and have our remaining 3 picks left, pending any further trades.

Also need part of pick 44 to match it at 6, which will slide back to around 49… then slide forward to somewhere between 41 and 44 when all the picks in the 2nd round are wiped out matching other bids. Also pick 17 more likely to be pick 19 and pick 23 probably 24. Kinda hard to do the maths, given there are too many unknown bids to factor in. But maybe someone else has done it.

 

[BangyBangy]

If the bid comes at Pick 6, we'd use Pick 17 & 23 to match it and have our remaining 3 picks left, pending any further trades.

But if a bid comes for Dean at 2, won't both of Carlton's picks be used? Thus our 17 becomes 16? Or is that not how it works?

Phantom Draft late mail: Intrigue over Tigers' picks, Bombers' big haul

Richmond met with Brisbane Academy prospect Dan Annable on Tuesday and is expected to place back-to-back bids on Gold Coast Academy talent Dylan Patterson and then Annable before making their picks that will shape the order.
...
Hawthorn has also looked at trading up from its second pick, starting at No.22, to see if it can shift to the Suns or Lions' picks in the teens, while the Western Bulldogs will remain open to a move down the order for the right deal

Carlton are trading 9 & 11 at the draft to get more points for a Dean bid.

 

[BangyBangy]

Thank you. Makes sense.

Conole answering Twomey about Murray in next year’s draft, words to the effect of “he’s certainly in the discussion to be part of the top group”.

Rortastic.

Honestly, I’m getting tired of the academy churning out elite midfielder rorts, year after year. Where are the key position players? At some point, it starts to feel like a production line tailored for one role. A bit of diversity wouldn’t hurt and it might even make the system look a little less cooked.

Gallop? Payne? Andrews? Hipwood?

Hippy the only first rounder.

Don't confuse draft position with how good they go on to be. Would you rather have had Jamarra Ugle-Hagan or Jack Payne?

It's actually better if they're not rated before they're drafted and only emerge afterwards, because then we get them for a lower price and can draft more talented players to surround them with.

Hippy is so elite every other academy tall has withered as a result

You can tell this man rorts. You the MP for somewhere?

Only 4 premiership winning KPPs? We need to lift our game

I am the supreme leader of my own Banana Republic. My full title is longer than Idi Amin's.

 

[Tom14]

Yes, I understand why they might not pick a Lions player. However, there is also Dean (Carlton) and the two highly ranked Suns players. Anyway, we will find out later I suppose...

All the phantom drafts are tipping WC will bid on Uwland and Dean (after they make the SENSATIONAL decision to pick a "duursma" #1).

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Please Sir, may we have another Rort ?

Happy Rortmas Day everyone !!

Are we thinking Annabelle will make All Australian next year or will it take a couple of years. ?

Let's not get carried away, premiership first.

 

[BangyBangy]

Let's not get carried away, premiership first.

I'm going to assume no player has ever won the Brownlow, Rising Star, & Norm Smith in the same year before....

Big O will be presenting Annable with his guernsey tonight
