List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft

[RossFC]

Thanks to Lore for the draft tracker.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Any chance Port takes any mature age players? How is Louie Monegatemy tracking? Is he a chance of getting drafted? He seems to have been racking up the ball. Considering the depth of the draft this season, unless Port somehow gets a top tier 1st round pick out of their butt, would it be better to identify mature age players in this years draft ranging from the ages between 19 to 23? Preference is getting a key defender followed by a midfielder and genuine small forward.

Geelong seems to have a knack at identifying mature aged players though it helps that they have a factory in their neck of the woods.

Port have access to Louie Montgomery again as F/S if he's willing to join

Would he be a half-back flanker? And would that enable Brett to return to Port?

I can see him moving into the midfield but not as a contested ball winner but more a ball user. But yeah to start would be HB.

I would like Brett back but not sure if it'll happen

South Adelaide’s Zemes Pilot also selected.

 

[Chizza12]

can someone explain to me why sharp went from potential number 1 pick to potential top 20 pick?

There are questions over whether he previously dominated due to him being physically more developed. As the other kids physically catch up, he's not proving to be as dominant. Unless he has a great champs, he could slide slide into the 2nd round.

Surely there's no way he slides to the second round? I could see him sliding back to maybe pick 10, but he still seems like a gun player.

Last game he played for Centrals he racked up 35 possessions the last game he played before that 30 up to 3/4 time before being injured and missing the following week.

Be the time the championships are over he's a top 5 pick.

 

[davesnothere]

Rookie Me

Has Cody Curtin as it's highest ranked key defender at 19.

200cm 98kgs.

That's a seriously solid defender if he's any good.

Would upset the Crows no end if he ended up here.

I'm taking it as a given Dougie ends up here and we play him across half back. Teaming him up with someone with serious size about them would be ideal.

I actually have Curtin in my top 10 atm. I think there's a very high ceiling if he's developed right. Not sure why others have cooled off.

I don't think Dougie will play half back, or not for too long at least. Better up forward imo.

Whitlock and Zemes forward half of the ground with Zemes drifting back.

Dougie and someone big back half of the ground with Dougie drifting forward.

 

[all seeing eye]

Twomey once again bagging 2025 draft , saying there are no stars or depth. Most clubs still looking to trade out draft selections if they can. Unless some players show something special in u18s, it could be the smallest pickup of new kids in years.

 

[Doctor Feel]

When is Wakelins kid eligible?

What should be Port’s draft strategy this year? Draft mature age players? Draft kids who missed out last season? Bundle up some picks to Brisbane or one of the other Northern teams for their 1st pick or something?

And can play both ends. Kicked 8 goals in a pre season game and 5 goals in the opening colts game for Claremont

[JUSTWORK]

I am not trading 2026 1st round pick whatsoever.

Depends what happens with Chocrane, if we do get NGA access to him then it’s a good chance he gets goes before our first pick so it’s worth more to us as a trade than it is taking it to the draft.

Secure quality you have currently from poaching ie Bergman and Butters, and look for free agents, or uncontracted that fill gaps.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Depends what happens with Chocrane, if we do get NGA access to him then it’s a good chance he gets goes before our first pick so it’s worth more to us as a trade than it is taking it to the draft.

If Port gets access with Cochrane, they might be tempted to trade out their 2026 1st rounder if he is the favourite to become the No.1 pick as Cal stated last year.

If Cal is that confident, he must be the Harley Reid of the 2026 draft since he was the clear No.1 from the get go in his draft year.

I wonder how strong and deep the 2026 draft will be?

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Anyone seen Latrelle Sumner-Pickett play? He has to be a small forward right? Has pace and x-factor. Surely Port puts some time into him throughout the year.

 

[Addy23]

Not really, unless trading that pick gets us more points but right now first round picks in terms of DVI are worth more than ever before and we wouldn't want to take a deficit into 2027

I saw you today mate but you were too busy to say gday to. Hope you are well

 

[Traveling_Power]

our draft strategy will depend on how many delisting's / trades we do ...

over the last 5 years we have averaged 9 trades / delisting's

but one thing is that we have to keep all our 2026 draft picks (and we might have to add to these picks somehow) so we can get Dougie Cochrane

You don’t lose a pick tho. We can trade it out at any time, even after a bid has been made (unless they’ve changed that rule)

There’s no rush to offload it

 

[Traveling_Power]

the 2025 AFL draft is the first draft with new rule changes

The AFL will review the NGA zones and eligibility criteria ahead of the 2025 AFL National Draft.

Draft value index (DVI)/bidding system
New framework for the DVI/bidding system will be implemented aiming to restore fair value.
The new DVI will see points allocated up until the end of the natural third round.

(Points for picks 1 to pick 54 instead of picks 1 - 73)

Future pick trading
From 2025, Clubs will be able to trade future draft selections up to two years in advance subject to AFL imposed protections

-------/------

from the DVI

2024 We had points for picks 1 to 73 - from 2025 we only have points for picks 1 to 54
also, after pick 2 the value is reduced for example

a) 2024 pick 2 was worth 2517 from 2025 pick 2 is worth 2481
b) 2024 pick 13 was worth 1212 from 2025 pick 13 is worth 1080

So, for our current picks 22, 40 & 58

in 2024 pick 22 = 845 points
pick 40 = 429 points
pick 58 = 170 points
for a total of 1,444 points

in 2025 pick 22 = 686 points
pick 40 = 238 points
pick 58 = 0 points
for a total of 924 points

So, this year we have lost 520 points

and it is because of this DVI change from the AFL (of reducing point values) we are going to see clubs rate players who want to go home with a higher value trying to equal what they would have got in 2024.

------------/------------

we will see more regular 2 x 1st round pick offers
we will see a few more 3 x 1st round picks
and the elite player will be worth around 4 x 1st round picks

and to get these 3 x 1sts round picks they will use for example
the 1st round pick in 2025,
the 1st round pick in 2026 and
the 1st round pick in 2027

and for 4 x 1st round picks, they will do the same as 3 x 1st round draft pick plus trade out a player
