Analysis 2025 Draft watch

[BigFrizz36]

With all these future picks linked to different clubs it’s going to be a fun year of death riding clubs

Just do what I do. Death ride them all eternally.

 

[Jimmae]

Crowbots taking Marsh + Ludowyke ... how many forward they want? Would have thought their midfield would be addressed...

Taylor Walker is no spring chicken, they are aging in defence too IIRC.

Marsh could still be a mid.

 

[RedFury]

With all those bonus future picks and Byrne, getting Jack so cheap was the Ison on the cake.

I'll see myself out....

 

[Bfevola]

So now we have one spot on the list left yeh?
Do we have any rookie spots?

 

[teddy-hopkins]

OUT: 9 (13 after bids), 11 (15 after bids), 43 and 54
IN: Harry Dean, Jack Ison, Talor Byrne, 2026 F2 (North), 2026 F2 (Suns), and 2026 F3 (Lions)

List management team were dealt a tough hand with Dean bid on so early + DVI changes for this year but IMO have done a great job.

In the end it worked out quite pretty reasonable considering those F-2nds are in a far stronger draft.

Dean, Byrne and Ison all left footers and look like outstanding kicks. Ticks the box for me.

Twomey had Ison very high in that mock draft so were incredibly lucky with the bid coming so late. FS/academy system working to our advantage there.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Pretty impressed with what we’ve done in the last month.

We’ve addressed a gaping hole in regards to solid 22-25 mids.

Picked up a 6’7 ruck from Freo.

We supposedly killed it in the draft & set ourselves up for next year.

A number of LTI’s to hopefully re-emerge.

Coaching staff looks solid.

If I was going to bitch, maybe a KPF short.

Apart from that, we done good.

 

[Jimmae]

Greeves getting a mention now, so perhaps only a misdemeanor

 

[Robertio]

Just watch highlights of Byrne. Nuggety little player with deadly left foot. Described as energy fixer bunny

Fingers crossed

He's built nicely.

 

[bradfisher14]

So now we have one spot on the list left yeh?
Do we have any rookie spots?

Senior list is full. One rookie spot remaining.

 

[ferrisb]

What did NHH and Greeves do?! Did they murder someone?

Yep, and Ison up for manslaughter

 

[Revenant1995]

Kye Fincher is NGA because his parents were working in Hong Kong at the time of his birth... but I see from next year, NGA players relying on overseas background will need to have at least parent born overseas...

AFL cracks down on player eligibility in NGA revamp

Clubs must spend more time with Next Generation Academy prospects and register their interest earlier in order to get priority draft access

Could have been royally Andrewed this draft due to WCE early bid. Think we came out smelling roses

[Robertio]

Just quietly Jack Ison looks as though he could be anything. Just anything.

He looks class.

 

[Andypooh23]

Maybe McCarthy can now afford to buy his mate a bigger t-shirt.

 

[Jimmae]

Pies look set to pass, Adelaide just have.

Senior list is full. One rookie spot remaining.

It's not full: we can add up to two more, but we'd have to delist 1 Cat A rookie to do it.

So we'd have to pass at pick 70 at the bare minimum.

 

[carlton_99]

Chris Davies on AFL website now saying the exact same thing as Cal. Club thinks Ison slid because clubs knew Carlton had the picks to match a bid.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

So are we taking a pick tomorrow in the rookie draft? Greeves perhaps?

 

[Brezsa]

I thought they picked some good players.

Oh no go read it. So they (club) thought Evan’s & Banfield would slide through, they didn’t, they where out of lust spots and the WCE draft thread is worst with abuse to the club than we have ever been

 

[ferrisb]

There’s 10 polo shirt wearererers in the Brizzy bunker.

11 for Nth MELB!!

#11 was a priority polo from the AFL

 

[Revenant1995]

Of the players who've missed out in the draft, and we would like to take as a Rookie? Of course that would mean other 'train on' players would miss out...

 

[ferrisb]

Some say Ison could be the best player in the draft.

I'm going to call him The Stig!

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

The diplomat

Good series…

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Greeves all time slide here
