List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft

[RossFC]

Thanks to Lore for the draft tracker.

That sounds like Justin Clarke, but I wasnt aware of him kicking 100 goals in a season.

Clarke played in defence for Brisbane, concussion ended his career after a few years, went back to full time engineering study and won a Rhodes Scholarship.

Sorry I changed subject - Byron Pickett Junior kicked over 100 goals for Western United this season. I compared him to Clarke as a player who came out of a country league into the AFL system.

Sorry I changed subject - Byron Pickett Junior kicked over 100 goals for Western United this season. I compared him to Clarke as a player who came out of a country league into the AFL system.

I've read some stuff on Clarke, including a long article in the 'Tsier's weekend magazine 2 or 3 years ago, after he won the Rhodes Scholarship.

He only played 1 game for North reserves, they couldn't convince him to leave the family farm and drive to Adelaide for training and to play. That 1 game meant he could nominate for the draft. What he did in that 1 game, saw several scouts go up and watch him play in a knockout final in the Northern Areas Football Association.

Poor bloke really wanted to fly planes for the RAAF. He had his pilot's licence before his car licence. He is very bright, passed all his RAAF tests, but being close to 200cms the RAAF said he was too tall for their planes. Think that's why he decided to play that reserves game and see if anyone was interested in drafting him.

Edit 2011 Advertiser article on Clarke not the 2021 Weekend Magazine one.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I read either that or a similar article, To be honest I find these guys who are good at everything highly annoying because I always had to work extra hard to be competent at any sport.

I heard Toumpas finally finished that time trial.

He may be slow but boy has he got persistence.

has joined North Melbourne as an unrestricted free agent

Curnow, Petracca, Merrett, Steele, May and Oliver will be trades not free agent movements.

 

[strath39]

Any chance Harley Baker slips through to pick 27? He’s athletic, has good skills, and is dangerous in the air. Wehr and Morales will probably get a shot on the wing, while Burgoyne might shift back to the half-back line.

Possibly, his ACL injury might worry some and let him slide. For us, we have to pick the best small forward available if we don't get one via a trade

Latrelle Pickett I hope

No but looks good for 2026

I like the look of him but small forwards are a pressing need.

Why the **** are they crossing their legs????? Low T move that shows subservience. Need to be alpha dogs and spread their legs out. Sack the betas and bring back Chocco who understands port!!!

Crippa and Great spreading their legs out. The other two must have fabulous legs though.

The AFL has sent through the top 10s from a few tests at the draft combine from the weekend, and there are some really interesting results here:

• Sam Grlj second in the 2km and ninth in the 20m is excellent. He wouldn't have been far from the top 10 in the agility either.
• Cooper Duff-Tytler's results for a 200cm ruck/forward are remarkable.
• Strong return from Willem Duursma, who also did well in the vertical leap.
• Lachie Dovaston's time in the agility test is one of the best ever recorded.

Bombers put their foot down in Zach Merrett saga on opening day of trade period

Essendon once again firmly states that captain Zach Merrett will not leave the Bombers as all 18 clubs begin the wheeling and dealing on the first day of the AFL's trade period.

[Addy23]

Getting into territory where we have to take draftees now, especially now Fiorini isn't happening. Have list spots so we might just need to take the punt

 

[PJ Power]

There’s no reason why we can’t use the draft to take a couple more non-bottom aged players with very good exposed state-league form or 19-21 yo types with x-factor, like we did in the mid-season draft. Use it the way Geelong do.

 

[Grave Danger]

The AFL has sent through the top 10s from a few tests at the draft combine from the weekend, and there are some really interesting results here:

• Sam Grlj

How are we saying that surname: Grill, Greel, Girl, Gruel? It's how the spelling of old George's name started, and that was just pronounced as a short Grl, although often as Groolasich.
