Review 2025 National Draft Thread | Dovaston #16 / Thredgold #26 / Mikunda #48

[Chip Scab1]

the Brayden George recovery slide that hasnt got him a debut as yet!

lol, you're saying he shouldn't have been picked over Daniels, Simpkins, Tuckers, CCJ yep, Fisher, Scott, Ford, Phillips, others. Have you seen him football? Even on 1 leg, with no tank... I'd back him to out-football and beat the shit out of every bloke on that list. Every.

 

[Clarke is King]

Glenn Archer doing jumper hand over gives me a Lindsay / Thredgold vibe for our Pick 11.

As someone who hasn’t been following the draft can I ask why you get that vibe? Are they tough?

Or if it's Dovaston, nothing might remove ultra flog mode more quickly than an Archer verbal warning whispered into his ear on stage...

And some extra pre-season niggle from someone that shares some DNA with Glenn!

I have, saw him plenty of times in the ressies this season and yes def can play. All i was saying is that we havent managed to get his body right as yet, and the selection committee has selected the above mentioned players before him so his one leg and no tank mustnt be better.

How come it doesn't give you Pickett vibes?

 

[speedy]

Regarding Lindsay’s average combine results.
From his highlights it looks like he has a step when he needs it. Plus he looks the type that can break an arm tackle.

How is he overhead and can he defend?

[speedy]

how many did Twomey get right last year? is his Pickett mail going to be right?

side note AFL needs to make the teams keep it secret

Twomey only confident in his top 6 and 4 of those are academy-f/s bids. He’s not even sure who the tiges are going to pick.

Or O Taylor. Though we haven't been linked to him.

Zippy goal sneak =/= Archer

Can't wait for the melts all over BigFooty and Facebook tonight no matter who we select.

That's great thanks Krakouer Bonar.

 

[rickety]

Isn’t Dovaston just a Temu Banch?

 

[joegreen]

If Archer is presenting the jumper in person, then the player needs to be in the room, yes?

Here are the initial 12 players invited. Who else will be there?



A DOZEN prospects have been invited to the first night of the Telstra AFL Draft as clubs start to close in on their top targets.

The AFL selects its group of invitees based on club nominations, with likely No.1 pick Willem Duursma, talented tall Cooper Duff-Tytler and Gold Coast Academy pair Zeke Uwland and Dylan Patterson all a part of the initial 12 players to be attending the draft.

Midfield bolter Sullivan Robey, Carlton father-son Harry Dean and Brisbane Academy gun Dan Annable will be there, while Vic Metro duo Xavier Taylor and Sam Grlj have also been invited.

Jacob Farrow is the only West Australian prospect to have so far received an invite to night one, with Dyson Sharp and Sam Cumming attending from South Australia.

The AFL is expected to add at least another couple of invitations closer to the draft as clubs zero in on their top targets but the list of prospects outlines who is right in the mix to fill the top-10 picks on draft night.

 

[Heaps of fun]

I'm starting to think the Lindsay talk is starting to sound like the Murphy Reid talk from last year.

 

[speedy]

Can't wait for the melts all over BigFooty and Facebook tonight no matter who we select.

And we will get to repeat it tomorrow night when more than likely we will have the coveted first pick of the second round.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

That's great thanks Krakouer Bonar.

Someone has to step in and call out the nuffies for Krakouer Bonar

 

[New_Roo]

yep looks good, although that clip doesnt answer the original question as to whether he can defend at all! or take an overhead mark

You watch Football, but do you see it?

He was recovering from a knee injury, he was hardly going to be rushed. They were picked because he was unavailable, not because they were better options imo.

Anyway we wait to 2026, he does look built though... almost un-North in fact.

do we have the coveted first pick though? Dont GC have it, which will prob be consumed in matching, but then dont Carlton have the next, then us?

From those currently listed he seems to be the one we will look at if available...
