News Mid-Season Draft

[unplugged]

I dont know why the hate on us for taking a KPF, we literally have none in the VFL let alone the ones who are injured.

Reid, McKay, Ridley are only weeks away whilst Jones, Draper and lesser extent Langford are out for extended periods of time.

Furthermore, behind the first choice defenders (McKay, Reid, Ridley) we have Laverde and Hayes to fill in if everyone was fit.

Behind Peter Wright and Nate Caddy was.... no one (a ruck plugged in as a fwd is trying to do an adequate job but sadly not forthcoming - Kayle Gerryn).

Having not one but two KPF's with scope to improve makes absolute sense.

Archer May, imho was the second best player available which surprised me North didn't take him. would the hate be real if North drafts him?

It's unbelievable how many people on here are upset that Essendon took May considering none of us had heard of him until two days ago.

No, Essendon took our bait and let us acquire our true targets.

 

[FireKrakouer]

Don’t know how I feel about Howe and Howes and Steele and Steele in the one side.

Mean to be rude I do not, unclear it is why to different club's board with this you would come. Fail you will if validation it is you seek, give two shits about your club we do not.

Agree. I was hoping for Riley Mason, because he'd know our system & plays alongside West. (Plus I'd never heard of any of the others anyway )

Turns out we didn't lose him either and who knows if he might be an SSP chance along with Browne.

All the sudden May hype seemed a Dermie driven spruik up to me

Looking forward to seeing these new guys in the VFL soon.

Steel reminds me of McClugage

I applaud this for not being the more common "four Krustys" meme

I'm stoked we got Howes. He reminds me of Jeremy Cameron

Good luck to all the players getting a crack mid-season. Hopefully we picked up a coupla Smokey’s. Certainly O’Bree seemed pleased.

 

[BillyElliott]

Who did your club just take? Every mid-season draft pick

Check out who your club selected in the 2025 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft

Two key forwards in a space of 6 months..

I'm not sure what to think of all these tall kids lol

 

[BigVic]

Happy with our selections

 

[Jen2310]

Assuming they will continue to keep 34 off the market for Tommy, so these boys may get 45 and 47 or something in terms of their jumper numbers

Yeah, I imagine they've all but given Tom the locker next to Nick by now.

It seems to coincide with Hine leaving . I still think tassie will be the shortest side in history

Maybe Dekka got picked on for being short when he was a kid and never got over it and that’s why he tried to pick players shorter than him?

It’s now about who we drafted not who we didn’t, the two new recruits have a chance, let’s see Howes they go

I'm still pissed we didn't take Callow.

They could trade in JFN, then they'd be Snow White and the 22 dwarves.

It was good that our VFL wasn't weakened by losing players in the MSD.
If we rate guys like Mason and Browne, we could still get them as SSP players without having to go through the draft.
We needed another KPF for our VFL side for when Charlie plays AFL.
It's good to have more options anyway.

 

[Vicky Park]

Great to see O’Bree doing his first post-draft interview. Lots of smiling which is a welcome change from stony-faced Dekka. I don’t think we ever saw Dekka looking excited after a draft - even after nabbing N.Daicos!

Our future is in your hands Shane. Be good.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Pre-MSD: Essendon needs key backs so they'll take key backs

Essendon: Recruits forwards lol

Our VFL side has been significantly strengthened, both these guys will be playing a lot in the Magoos learning systems and honing their craft before consideration at the next level. Would love to see one or both earn a game at AFL level this year.
