2025 Draft Thread

[Ash1337]

So according to ESPN 12 players in the top 30 are tied to clubs atm
Dogs will be pick will be 12 after Allen & TDK compos.
I think at least 3-4 bids before dogs bid.
Taylor, Dovaston or Farrow pick range.

 

[VitalDread]

I hope we are still keen on Massimo Raso

 

[TBOW]

What's Dovastons field kicking like? From the couple of videos I've seen he looks creative by hand but a bit erratic by foot.
He definitely looks to be a handy foot of the pack type though.

 

[DannyB4]

What happened to Will Darcy. Haven't heard much about him apart from that 1 video clip from like April.

Is he this year or next year?

This year. He’s been plugging away at school footy and talent league.

You mean we finally learned how to hide one?

Does anyone have a list of our upcoming F/S for the next couple of years?

What a shame they’re destroying the NGA initiative outside of the expansion states. We would have had a long list of kids to try out.

I just want 1 decent Lachy on a half forward flank

Fine!
Lachlan Smith it is

 

[bulldogs201616]

Looks like any chance of getting Taylor is done his ranked in the top 10 now.

 

[dogsuperfan]

Is Philippou like a genuine forward when he plays there? (As in can you expect natural goal sense like a Weightman or Kozzy) it seems like Dovaston is the only available small forward of the type we need.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Our pick will likely land weirdly in a perfect spot for us to grab Dovaston or Farrow it seems.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Interesting comment around how clubs see Emmett potentially developing into a defender. I’d be keen if that’s the case, has great endurance, good mark, moves well. We are actually light on KPP depth if Khamis moves on & Jones retires.

 

[Freezin]

Farrow has got a decent left peg and one to consider....perhaps his team mate Sam Swadling could be a later pick....picked up 47 possessions last weekend, against the side that came second.....talented sort as well

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Our pick will likely land weirdly in a perfect spot for us to grab Dovaston or Farrow it seems.

Wonderful. My 2 favourites

Pick 11*: Farrow/Dovaston
Pick 29: Barker/LeRay
Late/Rookie: Will Darcy

Chef’s kiss

Barker’s ACL should cause him to drop. Probably not to our second pick, but a man can dream. Definitely a top 15 talent in the crop. The Barker’s Cafe endorsements write themselves

 

[Mojorisin]

Jett Elek is still the key defender I'd be looking at in the later section of the draft.

 

[Dav1d]

Looks like any chance of getting Taylor is done his ranked in the top 10 now.

It’s just where Twoomey personally ranks him

Would be nice but we probably use that second pick to help pry a player away from another club
I actually mistake Barker and LeRay for one another haha

 

[House_of_Dahl]

He is genuinely well behind where Sam was. Hopefully we don't have to overpay for him because of Sam hype. Do hope we draft him though.

 

[Doggies7]

So Will Darcy wasn't listed on Cal's phantom top 30 the other day and also wasn't on the next best 15 list he just released. These are normally pretty accurate around this time of the year to how things are looking, so we should be able to get Will right towards the end of the draft or maybe even rookie list which would be good. Skinny lad and still developing, early but a long way back from AFL footy still so can be patient and develop him at Footscray.

Been watching a fair bit of him recently. He's got good footy IQ and his skills look good. His intercept work is pretty good. No where near it physically just yet and he does need to get more aggressive in the contest. A lot to work with though.

 

[goodcop badcop]

I quite like the look of Avery Thomas in the 2nd round too. Good one on one type that can intercept as well. Likened to Isaac Quaynor
