Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

[JasRulz63]

We had 5 draft picks in the final pre-draft order. So, I assume we have 1 more list spot somewhere.

Re-drafting Linc in the rookie draft?

 

[KissKiss]

I love how the time runs out and it means nothing

Ah yep that'd be it.

 

[Section 5]

Tai Hayes turned 21 one day before the draft
He may not have celebrated much then, but he may do so tonight.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Richmond love a bid.

Kinda signalling to whoever they end up drafting that they are a fallback option.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Crows would have been looking at Roberts-Thomson surely.

Have probably been pipped again.

 

[briztoon]

briztoon what a pity we didn't get Finn Davis, oh well.

I'm really excited about Koby Evans. And Curtain. Really happy with those two, so not too worried about anyone we "missed" out on.

According to the AFL, we hold the very last pick of this draft, meaning one more list spot remains.

Is that Linc’s spot?

You could be on the money there.

Wouldn't be surprised if Evans starts his VFL career playing Starcevich's role in the reserves.

Asked about this very thing a few pages back. Given his size, agility and supposed mongrel, is it a possibility. Has he ever played down back or mainly forward and of late mid-fwd?

No West Coast, no worries! NGA Eagle stoked to be a Lion

Fresh Brisbane draftee Koby Evans has revealed he was not surprised West Coast Eagles did not match the Lions’ bid for him, and is over the moon to be heading to the reigning premiers.

Have never been on another clubs forum, but couldn't resist after some of the previous comments.

Had a chuckle when they brought up Briztoon ....... and not wanting him coming on.
Would you like to pop in to say hi ...... and risk a ban.

Heck, I might do it myself.

I know a few on this forum who would love this to happen.

Bit of Clayton Oliver about him.

Same here. Loved it when some of them have already sent e-mails to the club.

Think he has Indigenous background, certainly from a WA NGA region can’t remember what it is/was.
