Resource 2025 AFL Draft prospects and discussion.

[dogs105]

Honestly, seems kind of straight forward? Tex gets most of 2026 and we're setting up Marsh to have first crack at third tall in 2027. Finbar is replacing Burgess at depth and we have no idea with Welsh but aren't quite ready to give up on him.

i've seen a lot of people on BF make a Will Day comparison. What are his mid credentials like? Must have dominated for Kangy as a junior?

Are you from that way ams4crows ?

 

[Carmo]

It's been a really poor off season. We at least tried a few things, but nothing worked for us.

Yer, Ah Chee for nothing was pretty expensive.
Plus the most sought after Cat B prospect in the land.
Now we get a mid range SA talent with no prospect of heading elsewhere with a lateish first rounder.

Terrible, 1 out of 10 stuff.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

A rare miss by you

Happy to be proven wrong but 192cm mid size fwd ?

Barker = mid
Schubert = true KPF

Think we dropped the ball

At least looks like had a fair dip at getting Sharp , Essendon wouldn’t budge

Ridiculous comment.

Marsh is a terrific pick.

Let me guess another "slider". You haven't joined ABAB on the payroll have you?

Take your hand off it.

 

[Mutineer]

We keep Tex, trade in Finbar, re-rookie Welsh..... And then draft in Marsh, whilst we have TT and Fog in their primes....

??

Im just confused at this point

None of whom he plays like he's a high half forward/winger with elite endurance and similar penetrating accurate kick to Tex.

Putting more eggs into a third tall role when we are about to get Ah Chee as well?

When we just dusted 2 finals with an inferior midfield? No lightning quick small forward, no superiors outside line breaking ball user...... ?

Mate cmon....

 

[Redline]

The Centrals football factory continuing to spit out AFL footballers.

Meh, it doesn't matter how many times Central supporters say this, it isn't going to catch on.

 

[Brasher]

My thoughts exactly.

"bUt TheYlL PlAY RuGBEE InSTED!!!"

SO WHAT?! LET THEM THEN!!!

Anyone actually seen the physical profile of an NRL player? Not sure one of these draftees would survive a game.

They should be booking tickets to southern states thankful they have a professional football career after all.

 

[Fud#3]

When does the first round end?

Pick 75 after all the academy FS picks

 

[maxlilly]

Draper, Curtin, Edwards, Taylor, Pedlar. Four first rounders in that bunch.

Add in Soligo
Would be great to see those guys get a fair go in there

 

[Scorpus]

"Won't be physically ready"

We all said that about Michalanney, and he played the entire season in his debut year from round 1

Mitch Marsh a lock for round 1

 

[bigman]

Had Marsh 10th in the open pool.

He’s quality. Wait and see.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Id be giving Taylor a shot in there, showed a bit

I wouldn’t

 

[budget]

Murphy's signed!

View attachment 2481047

We know he wasn’t great but he did try his guts out and he wore the jumper with pride. Just give him a break and maybe direct your remarks at the club !

 

[Carn The Texan]

What's a draft night without a few ridiculous melts.

Think we've done okay there. Tomorrow more interesting I think.

Morris is the same height and a gun already.

Watch the kid kick a goal from 55 and you’ll change your tune.

Who's role does he take then?

 

[Scorpus]

Tex

 

[Golumless]

Had more centre clearances than most of our mids in 1 QUARTER in the finals

That's going to happen when you decide to change up your midfield set up on a whim 10 minutes into the first quarter.

Laird and Taylor being in that unit was purely Nicks and co. living in their fears, nothing more.

 

[budget]

I would've picked Schubert, but we'll see.

Well we pick Schubert and have a slow three tall attack once again.

I don't think tomorrow matters, does it?
No needles will be moved there.

 

[Scorpus]

Alternatively we play Marsh at half forward, shift a few up the ground. Neal-Bullen or Ah Chee to the wing, then Cumming to half back where he belongs

 

[Carmo]

21 players until our next pick, help me build a list of potentials who make it to that,.I'll start

Hetherton
Ludowyke
Leray
Ainsworth
BOB
Byrne
Onley
Greeves
Ison

That's as far as I can get. Help me out. Nite y'all.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Well mail was on point

Marsh was clubs first preference after Sharp and Dovaston

Can’t believe Essendon knocked back 2 x 1sts for pick 13
