2025 Draft Thread

[VitalDread]

Does the MSD usually run quickly as opposed to the normal draft night, when clubs still take 5 minutes to take even the most obvious number 1 pick?

Normally takes around 5-10 mins to finish the draft
Unless AFL are doing some BS are extending it for interviews

Raso reminds me a bit of Garcia, is that a fair comparison?

 

[MaxiBont]

Seems like it might be Sellwood and Raso. Haven’t watched either of them but seems to fit list profile.

I don't think he is like anyone currently on our list. Working off of Garcia I'd say Raso has alot more forward craft but doesn't have the same burst or strength.

Mackinlay is the only decent small fwd available in the limited games I've binged.

Can Sellwood defend or is he just a distributor? If he can do both, he likely plays in a couple of weeks.

We've been cycling through those 6th & 7th smaller defenders. JJ (injury prone), Duryea (cooked), Bramble (fringe) and Gallagher (hasn't shown enough) haven't been able to produce anything this year. JJ has obviously been good but every game we get from him is a bonus IMO.

Think Sellwood fits us best & should be able to impact in the seniors at some stage this year if given the opportunity. Body looks ready. If he is still there come our pick, seems like a no brainer for us.

Watching Rod Ali hightlights

I think he would make a great rookie selection at the end of the year

Looks to be developing at the same rate of Leek Aleer

Has all the physical tools, just needs development time

I'd say if we were to pick him up he'd jump Coffield and Cleary as soon as he learns the game plan.

Very odd late change of heart.

 

[TiAn_]

He decided he’d outgrown the Bulldogs and needed a fresh start

Gives someone else the opportunity

I don't mind taking a stab at Cooper Herbert if the player(s) we want are gone.

I love prospective rookies that have a side hustle

Angus Clarke, the kid who debuted for Essendon last week, did in fact sell firewood to afford flights from Woop Woop to Adelaide for u18s footy.

I guess that rules out Michael Hancock

Late bloomer?

Banch off the table, North take him with the second pick

Impossible to predict the MSD beyond pick 1, everyone said they'd pick May

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Sellwood!

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Let’s go!

North picking a tall always sounded fake

 

[TheScriptorWL]

HUGE! At least we know his back up career after Footy...
