List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - November 19-20. Rookie draft: November 21.

[Jafo]

As much as I'd love to have pick #1, I'm also glad our club doesn't have to decide whether to draft Duursma. Given the career path of his brothers I would be really nervous!

Though if you rate Jason, Cameron and Travis Cloke….

 

[satty]

At most I can see us moving up to the mid 20's to pick a player we don't think is going to make it to our first pick.

Definitely can see us trading our future second to make that happen.

 

[nickyds35]

only need a few more high pick for points trades from carlton, gold coast, brisbane, sydney and essendon for our first pick to come in to around pick 30 and our second pick around 33-35.

 

[RobJD]

A part of me wants;

• the pies to move up the order at what would be a huge cost for a targeted player.
• the other part of me sees value next year in a better draft with a first rounder and a possible drop in ladder position.

I see a huge value in a partner for Nick as soon as possible. HDM was recruited with an expectation of immediate impact and that has not materialised. The list path selected over the next days will be very interesting.

If a partner for Nick is a key need, then of the candidates that are likely to be around our first pick: Rodriguez, Onley Greeves, I like Sam Swadling - if he was a wine, I'd say he has hints of Simon Black - seems to have very good hands and seems to be strong through the hips and can run all day.

You're not wrong, this draft gives off 2020 vibes.

Is it that weak or is it just really compromised with a lot of the good ones tied to other clubs and thus pick 3 is really about pick 7?

The 50 odd picks will be the giveaway. It’s in the 60’s most years and this is projecting to be a smaller draft than the COVID one. It’ll have its late draft hits like every draft, but it’s a fragile thing because if there’s only 50 odd AFL relevant talents on offer across the U18’s this year how good are the tier below the best? Take a guy like Robey who was nowhere in the rankings at August. All told I’m glad we don’t have significant assets in it beyond the top 5 like Melbourne or Essendon.

Harsh on Xavier IMO, he’s not a superstar but a very handy player

Maybe we just take Zac and a couple of state leaguers like Blamires then

IF we do that hope we don’t trade a Future 1st to do it

Judging by what North got for 25 and a future second , our future second and 39 (which will be 33 early on) might have a nice price

I feel like we’ll attempt to get involved tonight. Will be interesting to see how high we can get and who we have on the whiteboard.

I feel like we will dangle our F1 if there is an opportunity to get a premium talent mid like Sharp, Robey ect.

Otherwise, more likely, I feel like we will offer our future second, together with one (or 2) of our existing picks (which should come forward quite a bit) in an effort to try and get into the top 20 or so.

 

[The Phantom]

I watched the video of Onley again. Was his kicking a bit off? Is this a reason why he’s sliding in the draft predictions. He hit some very safe short kicks but even though he bought some time and space he seemed to not quite nail the longer kicks.

Offley?

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I would be happy if can use our first two draft picks on our best player available, before McCarthy is bid on.

 

[nickyds35]

Would never happen, but would love for West Coast to be ruthless and bid on Dean, Uwhland, Patterson and Annabelle (all 4 could reaonably be pick 1 in an open draft) ahead of taking Dursmaa with their first pick.

On top of instantly wiping out all of Carlton's, Gold Coasts and Brisbane's picks, it would also likely mean a players like Murray, Addinsol and Ison would be unlikely to be matched and available to the rest of the pool.

Also wonder if clubs can make trades prior to the first pick, or if they can get caught out by having to match a bid, prior to arrangement a high pick for points trade..

With the first 2 picks, the Weagles could/should take Dursma with their 1st pick (if he’s who they want) and then start bidding.

Another typically dull draft coming up for us? Which 180cm half-back flanker will we invest our first pick in?

Giving up a better pick in a stringer draft for a lesser pick in a weak draft??? Unlikely.

 

[WanderingDude]

Unfortunately they are rare in this draft. The nearest to 180cm is 168cm. That comes latter in the draft and we will trade out rather than invest in a risky pesky tall.

Another Reason to hate the Hawks

Will we match that Bid?

The one we rated in the top ten but slid through to us. He was always on our board. We're very happy.

 

[Jen2310]

Of course. It’ll be close to pick 30 after bids it may have not be what we would have liked. Just means we will have to find some gems late in the draft

We seem to do better with lower picks then our High Picks

Could we possibly look to trade up before the Hawks Pick to get a Live Pick?

 

[tmpies01]

We’d no doubt be preparing for all scenarios. At the end of the day the player we pick will be from our whiteboard, someone we actually want, no matter where it comes in the draft.
