Analysis 2025 Draft watch

[Aphrodite]

 

[lukep_86]

OUT: 9 (13 after bids), 11 (15 after bids), 43 and 54
IN: Harry Dean, Jack Ison, Talor Byrne, 2026 F2 (North), 2026 F2 (Suns), and 2026 F3 (Lions)

List management team were dealt a tough hand with Dean bid on so early + DVI changes for this year but IMO have done a great job.

When you look at it like that, we have smashed this draft

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Go well Archie. Clearly lives and breathes it.

 

[Red_man2008]

So we get Ison, a small fwd and a 2nd and 3rd next year.
Am I right in saying Byrne, f2nd, f3rd are all additions to the Swans Curnow tax?

Two future seconds. Norths and gold coasts’

Go well Archie. Clearly lives and breathes it.

Love to see it. But still annoyed they had tech issues with Ison only lol

 

[Brezsa]

With all these future picks linked to different clubs it’s going to be a fun year of death riding clubs

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Mosquito Fleet Mk II

Eddie Betts still has more talent in his little toe than our entire small forward line. Don't mind Byrne but we still are a long way from Betts, Garlett, Yarran.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Crowbots taking Marsh + Ludowyke ... how many forward they want? Would have thought their midfield would be addressed...

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Waddya reckon the Hun Subby monkeys went with as a header??

‘Jack is on track at the Blues’

Fer sher.

 

[MileHigh]

Could somebody let me know what we traded our picks for in the 20s I think with gold Coast and the other one in the 30s?

 

[bigblueboy]

None of Isons team mates were at his 18th birthday party

why?

 

[SolGoodman]

Just watch highlights of Byrne. Nuggety little player with deadly left foot. Described as energy fixer bunny

Fingers crossed

He and Ainsworth interchanging between forward and mid could be exciting...

 

[Bluella]

The diplomat

Great show

Just watch highlights of Byrne. Nuggety little player with deadly left foot. Described as energy fixer bunny

Fingers crossed

Reminds me of Shaun Mannagh

 

[BigFrizz36]

Just quietly Jack Ison looks as though he could be anything. Just anything.

 

[Jimmae]

Byrne can run through the middle moreso than Durdin.

Had plenty of games getting 20+ for the rebels.

His ceiling is high i reckon, think Neale type in the middle or Weightman as a forward.

His floor is delisted in 2 years without playing a game.

Durdin averaged 21 disposals in the SANFL U18s.

 

[Sector 7G]

Our list is just short. We really lack KP depth

We are 2 talls down from last season when we were lacking talls . This is poor list management

 

[NavySteel]

Talor can kick.

Already in our top 6 players

That’s alright. We’ll squash that nonsense out of him quick smart

 

[marcmurphy3]

The extra F2 and F3 are a bonus, since we would have expected to be wiped out by an Ison bid in the late teens to mid 20s.

Goes along way to making up for Dean being taken unexpectedly early.

 

[Pablito]

Durdin averaged 21 disposals in the SANFL U18s.

Gee whiz had no clue.

Now I'm worried for Byrne!

 

[Christou2Kouta]

Given our list Voss better adjust his game plan or he is gone by Rd one

Can’t bomb it long down the line to a tall if you have no talls. It’s been our bail out option for so long now, it’ll be interesting to see how we go about changing that.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Could somebody let me know what we traded our picks for in the 20s I think with gold Coast and the other one in the 30s?

Lions F3. Not sure which one. They had 3.

 

[Sonny Jim]

I just hope we don't lose all these picks for Walker

We definitely will.
The AFL will make sure of it.
If they make clubs have a top 10 pick to bid on top 10, and we make 9th or better, and so do Sydney, then we will use it all for Walker and probably get back a late teens pick. Or thereabouts.

 

[Stamos]

why?

It’s a Draft Day movie joke

Mosquito Fleet Mk II

Mk I was pretty good. Hope this one is even better.

I remember an interview with David Parkin in which he said when he came to the club, the type of players (obviously the Mosquito Fleet) at his disposal were totally different to what he had coached before and he had to change the game style he was used to coaching previously - and it obviously worked. Hope Vossy can be flexible enough to play to the teams strengths and make the most of it like Parkin did.
