Toast Welcome to Fremantle Leon Kickett - Pick 8 of the 2025 AFL Rookie Draft

[Taylor]

Tobyn Murray is mature age too, and he has worked hard to get his opportunity.

9th youngest on the squad. A year and a half younger than Erasmus.

Sits right between Cooper Simpson and Ollie Murphy.

There's only three younger than Leon on the squad.

The oldest player on the list is nearly three years ahead of the next - as an interesting trivia.

 

[Minz]

But doesn't EVERY player selected have to work hard, twice as hard as they ever had.
Other than Dudley , all are kids that have not played regularly at WAFL level.
Give them a chance to settle.

Makes a difference to be able to do it as a full time job too, I’d expect

Lots of good sightings of Leon at training already. I'm getting unreasonably excited.

Me too. I want him & Sweid hunting in the forward line early. Watch our tackle count go up significantly. And of course way more opportunistic crumbs & snaps.

Finally something I can comment on!

Word from someone in the know is that they thought he couldn't kick it.
