2025 Draft Order

Spoiler

Current Draft Picks:
Round 1: 1, 2, 13
Round 2: 34, 41
Round 3: 53, 58 (These picks are in excess of available list spots so will be forfeited if we don’t consolidate our 2025 picks up the order or trade some for future picks)

List Spots Available (39 of 48):
• Main list (33 of 38) - 5* (in: Starcevich, Young out: Allen, Ryan, Chesser, Hunt, Petruccelle, Jamieson)
• Cat A rookie list (5 of 8) - 3* (in: Robertson (pending), out: Rawlinson)
• Cat B rookie list (1 of 2) - 2 (out: Livingstone)

* Based on Dewar being upgraded after the maximum 3 years on the rookie list. Hutchinson may also have been upgraded but this isn’t confirmed - if it is we will have 4 main and 4 rookie list spots open

* Matthew Clarke has stated we have 5 main list spots

Matt Clarke wraps up the trade period - 6PR

 

[Coasters7]

Firstly we most probably don't have enough rookie spots to do delist all four.
Secondly. having nine picks in the main draft would be insane. Not enough quality and would make our age profile too young.
Thirdly leave us with very few options to delist next year.
Would be embarrassing if next year's draft is a lot better than this year and we are short of list spots.

I’m not saying all 4 at once is realistic but there’s 4 players there I’d have no issues with delisting instantly so why wasn’t there at least 1?

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

That's a cop out from both of you for no reason.
The most likely scenario from the champs games is that our players weren't very good..

Both can be true - or are you a donkey.

Not sure if you went to any of the games but the team structure and ball movement was down. Classic examples - Swadling playing hff and looked out of place each game, but he still got picked there. Whan looked out of his depth game 1 but they still persisted with him in the guts.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Who's responsible for that appointment?

They legit put the job for head coach on Seek when they were looking for one

No more a donkey than almost all of your family members.

But in regards to football and our NGAs.. despite me not physically going to the games...we have really high picks this year. It's not like we are looking for a diamond in the rough.. and despite your claims of 'bad coaching '.. Whan and swadling seem draftable.
Whilst both could be true, in my opinion it's loser mentality to blame others (coaches) for your own (players) failures.

Interested to know, who are AsterixTheGaul 's family members that you don't consider to be donkeys?

Yes, team structure and ball movement is 100% on the coach. It couldnt have anything to do with the players at all....

I get you are a optimist but you cant be one at the expense of reality. The W.A team sucked.... and the rest of the AFL recruiters believe so too. If they thought Marc Webb was the problem then W.A would have more then 1 kid rated in the top 20

[BSD]

Brochman types....on talent, or effort? Cause on talent, I'm happy to have 2 of them and the one that wants it more gets the next contract. Brochman is lazy, but he has talent to burn.

2 lazy Brockmans don't equal one good player

Is there a reason Banfield isn’t being rated in the main draft? Appeared to play well at the state champs, starred in the colts grand final, seems a likely prospect.

He doesn't live in a Postcode that starts with a 3.

 

[swingdog]

Where's Fred rated at these days?

 

[Monocle]

Where's Fred rated at these days?

I would suggest that he sits in the rankings early to mid second round, I think in the 27- 40 range.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Where's Fred rated at these days?

20-30 I think

Id say he goes in the 20-25 range.

He wont go to Eagles thats for sure

*....probably

No chance. Fred Rodriguez would have been at HB if it was Clarkes masterplan

Just remember the philosophy. You cant go into the midfield until you have done a 5 year apprenticeship at half back

Better for us if he isn't

The f*ck are you talking about - now Clarke runs the selection committee and makes the positional calls?

Talk about some serious shit dribbling.

I was just interested because it was a pretty specific thing to say "almost all of your family members"

He drafted Bo Allan after trading for Liam Baker and then traded for Starcevich

I think he might want to stop picking up half backs so our selection committee has midfielders to pick instead

 

[Eastern Rangers]

That's a cop out from both of you for no reason.
The most likely scenario from the champs games is that our players weren't very good..

You can argue about the relative attributes of player but it's a consensus opinion that Banfield had a very strong championships. His production would have been a lot higher than both Barker or LeRay if he was playing for South Australia.

In a perfect world WA's midfield should have been led by Evans, Banfield and Farrow. Instead it was lead by Rodriguez, Kelly and Swaddling.

Duane massey does the recruiting. Did a good job last year as his first picking up allan and shanahan. Matt clarke does the trades and gives out contracts. He is responsible for the butchered baker trade.

They work together in reality. If they both target the same player they both share the blame

He also decides on whether Lathlain’s turf gets ripped up.

He's had 2 less great games than robey. Go figure
