2025 Draft Thread

Absolutely. It's just terrible timing for the rest of the comp.

The amount of talent on that list is absolutely insane. It doesn't mean they are going to win anything though. The GWS sides of a few years ago were pretty similar but could never make that jump into an elite premiership team.

Its why people lost their minds as well when we got Jamarra at 1 after playing finals

Brissy is the monster right now because they actually have an established following that will get 50k to most games as minimum once the new stadium is finished and are based in an attractive location. GWS will never, ever have the following, same with the Suns. Gold Coast have a short window to capitalise before a talent drain starts just like what happened with GWS.

Yes, but my take is...who cares? Every club has the same window. The prioritizing of success of any team over another by a governing body who is supposed to be impartial just stinks to high heaven. We really are a joke of a competition at times. And those times are becoming ever the more frequent under the latest custodians.

Emmett and Darcy wasting no time getting involved, hopefully Carmichael joins in early next week.

Thats two players. The Suns have had 8 first round picks in the past 3 years due to the academy.

If you use us as a baseline as a club who has had good luck with FSs and academies, we’ve had 4 FSs/ Academy 1st rounders ever in JUH, Darcy, Croft and Ayce Cordy. The Suns just drafted 4 in one night.

And all the first rounders they’ve had in the development years

They will be unstoppable in the next couple of years

I'm super excited about Emmett. Going to really enjoy watching him play and develop. Reckon he’s going to be a gun that throws everything at it.

Krasnadamskis sounds like a last name that would be found on a nga player. come on dogs

Long ethnic name
Former basketball player

Surely no one will question it if we do it confidently

Reagan has confirmed that our list spots are full and we won’t be taking any rookies today

Good to hear we’ll start Emmett as a defender. Excited to see what he can bring

 

[Mojorisin]

Names we could potentially add as Cat B rookies should their club elect not to match them are now firmly in my view. Geelong only have one Cat B spot so will have to choose between Mellor and Rongdit, pies small forward Saxena is an option, two names out of the Lions academy of interest to me are Bridge at half back and Geesu as a small forward.

Emmett is a seriously exciting prospect.

 

[Mojorisin]

NHH and BoB both slipped through the rookie draft, pretty crazy stuff.

 

[Dogs Rule]

What a farce the Rookie Draft has become.

A total of 6 rookies picked around a bunch of list shifting

Next to Darcy, Walker, Gardner and Buks. Crazy VFL line up

Must be something up with NHH. To not get picked at all in this draft.

 

[Doggies7]

NHH as a young player to keep an eye on at Footscray would be great. Obviously has a deficiency to work out, we have a strong VFL program that could help with that and keep a watch on him for a mid season draft spot.

Clubs just taking the p155 right now. Like the Academies and the points and everything it touches the AFL have allowed this and the likes of Liam Picken and Matty Boyd coming through the rookie draft, genuine rookies, are long long gone.

Imagine if we had Zach Merretts way and reduced list sizes
