Rumour Draft Rumours 2025

[Barrybran]

Schubert or Thredgold for North at 11 i reckon

Schubert was my first thought but the more I think about it, the more I think they could be after Thredgold. If North don't get Schubert, Ludowyke is likely still on the board.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

we have a winner, makes the most sense for all involved

That's a poor deal for Carlton. They may as well just eat the bid with 9 if thats what they are doing.

I think ludowyke will go before Norths pick at 26 if thats what you are getting at.

Who's taking him?

 

[WillHayward]

Just can't trust Duursma not to turn out like his brothers

If I had pick 1 I would be using it on Robey who looks to be a game changer

I feel the same way.

Duursma and CDT at 1-2 seems like a huge risk to me. I don't trust either of them.

Robey is a lock to be good imo.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Literally the greatest forward in our lives roamed up the flanks in Lance Franklin?

His role is more or less the same role Luke Jackson plays for Fremantle. Its very clear as day. The conjecture behind it is weird

Role yes but Jackson was significantly better in both his contested marking and ruck craft as a junior. Apart from having very good ground level mobility there isnt any evidence CDT can get to jacksons level. Personally if I had a top 5 pick I wouldn't risk it on him.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Who's taking him?

Geelong are keen and I can see a couple of other clubs in that 15-25 range biting.

 

[THE_GUN]

Ludowyke for North would be a good get

CDT is much better below his knees and over that 20m sprint .The reason he can’t jump as high in a mark or ruck contest is because he has more speed and is more of a athletic runner

To me CDT will spend alot more time on a flank and midfield then Jackson who spends more time as a ruck as opposed to that midfielder part he can do

That is rubbish running fast does not hinder your ability to leap high

Avery Thomas 2.89 20mtrs
standing Vertical jump 2nd
Running Vertical 10th

 

[Keystone agony]

Hearing pies 39, 45, 56 for suns 29

Believe looking at

Max Kondo.
Onley
But any slider talls 190+

Trying to get into 24 ahead of North but will need to add future picks which doesnt look likely. Maybe 2027 F3

Edit: for 29, not 28

 

[THE_GUN]

Hearing pies 39, 45, 56 for suns 28

So GC lose 100 points by doing that deal

 

[Shueygod]

Then what type of forward is he?

He's not Jezza Cameron. He's not Buddy Franklin. Or a Daniher type.

Why isn’t he a Cameron/Buddy? There’s no reason he can’t roam up the ground giving an option then destroy his opponent back to the forward 50 with his speed/tank as Cameron/Franklin did/do.

Franklin was an average contested mark.

Peak CDT is an impossible match up with his combination of size/speed/endurance.

Cameron’s biggest advantage is the fact that opponents can’t match him both in the air and running capacity/on the ground, CDT will have these same advantages given there’s not many blokes 194cm+ that can match him in the latter two, I’m feeling very confident in the air vs opponents 193 and under.

To add to this point, who are the current defenders that can match up with a 200cm, 100KG bloke that has a low 6 minute 2km and a >3 sec 20m. Noting he has a good (not great) leap as well.

 

[RanaNaved]

Role yes but Jackson was significantly better in both his contested marking and ruck craft as a junior. Apart from having very good ground level mobility there isnt any evidence CDT can get to jacksons level. Personally if I had a top 5 pick I wouldn't risk it on him.

Jackson used to double grab and spill a lot of marks as a junior, more than CDT

Pretty nonsensical logic tbh.

Are his brothers even that bad? Zanes just young and needs opportunity and Xavier is a solid AFL player. Other draftees likely have siblings not good enough to play AFL, probably shouldn't pick any of them either

Given circumstances dont like to bring them up, but Joel Selwood probably doesn't get picked top 10 with this sort of logic

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Richmond’s likely top five selections, the bolters earning interest, expected early trades: 20+ AFL Draft whispers​

Thats a bit like saying Geelong shouldnt take Joel Selwood at pick 6 because Adam and Troy jut looked like run of the mill taggers.... (RIP guys )

Yeah pass on a player because his uncle's a fat drunk.

This would be ideal for Richmond IMO.

 

[_DBF_]

This would be ideal for Richmond IMO.

It's ideal only if we get a little sweetener for letting Robey through.

 

[Mofra]

Bulldog ITKs a few weeks ago were mentioning we were looking to bid on academy-tied rebounding defenders, the Fox top 30 just linked us to Lindsay after potential bids on academy-linked rebounding defenders.
