Points Matching- How to Calculate:

Spoiler

Picks 1-18: Points value of pick less 10% discount
Picks 19-36: Points value of pick less 84 points discount
Picks 37+ : Next available pick

From the points required deduct the value of the next available pick and repeat until the total of the picks used exceeds the value required. The value of the surplus is then used to add back the pick closest to that value

For example a bid at pick 2 for Uwland:
• Pick 2 = 2481 points less 10% means 2233 points are needed to match
• Gold Coast have picks 15 (973), 18 (836), 24 (621) totalling 2430 points
• There is a surplus of 197 points which is equivalent to pick 43 (184 points)
• So to match, Gold Coast lose picks 15,18,24 and gain pick 43

RULES

1. Time is of the essence. If this drags it becomes a lot less interesting. You have a maximum of 12 hours to select after you have been tagged. If you do not meet this deadline or if you’re otherwise delaying for the sake of it, I will select for you.
2. Please do remember to tag the next selector as the process runs much faster if you do.

Melbourne need to replace some skill and speed in the midfield in the wake of the Trac and Oliver deals. We liked Cumming (doesn’t everyone, hey-ooooooo) but he’s off the board. They still have Viney and Steele so we will go towards a faster midfielder, selecting Sam Grjl, overlooking the absence of vowels in his surname. That’s pick 10.

Pick 11 has been dealt to West Coast for pick 16 and St Kilda’s 2nd round pick in the 2026 draft. CountryLad is now up.

 

[CountryLad]

Boy oh Boy wowee…….. With Pick 11 West Coast select Dyson Sharp

Write up to come. We just won the draft, thank me later. Midfield fixed random260 and don’t ever thumbs down me again.

Time for our resident contrarian to take his pick for Carlton

Carbine Chaos you’re up

[Carbine Chaos]

When you ruin Adelaide's draft in the first Mock, then skip Dean to specifically take Sharp, and ruin a second team's draft too.

Then you remember it's Carlton, so you don't really care.

 

[txbyhull]

Boy oh Boy wowee…….. With Pick 10 West Coast select Dyson Sharp

Write up to come. We just won the draft, thank me later. Midfield fixed random260 and don’t ever thumbs down me again.

pick 11 brother

Owning it, like this guy at Metallica the other night.

Carlton take LACHY DOVASTON.



Carlton's small forward stocks are among the worst in the league. And while I think Ainsworth and Hayward are astute pick ups, I don't think they offer the dynamic element nor the BDE that Dovaston will. I like both drifting further up the ground - let's take a stay-at-home menace.

The Blues need something to cheer for. A spark. Badly. Dovvers will provide that spark.

Wooshaaaa you're up, I believe.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Well, trading down because I thought it was too early to take Dovaston blew up in my face.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

The Hawks simply go the next best available talent

It was a coin flip between Shubert and Farrow.

The tall forward vs the distributer.

With pick 13 hawthorn take the 2028 Harley trade bait.


Jacob Farrow
Farrow started the season as a prospect to watch and as the year went on became Western Australia's leading draft hopeful. His flexibility – from half-back to midfield – and his size – 188cm – have been key parts of that, with the damaging left-footer standing out because of those attributes, He averaged 25 disposals at colts level with West Perth and also stepped up to play with West Perth's senior team, where he averaged 18 touches.

STRENGTHS:

• Agility
• Intercept marking
• Kicking
• Power
• Rebounding
• Size

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Defensive craft
• Endurance

Able to break the game wide open with his kicking, Farrow has drawn many comparisons to Hayden Young

. His height and running capabilities give him the scope to move from tall intercepting defender, to strong inside midfielder in future. With a bit more time and vision of the field ahead of him, Farrow shows much more confidence and ability to take on dangerous kicks and gain meterage, highlighted by his final two games of the State 18’s where he led all comers for metres gained.

Gee the 9 game Robey write up must be brief if you’re already onto Sharp’s.

This is exactly who I think the Blues take if they held the pick.

I did the Robey write up this morning. Midfield group of Reid, Duursma, Robey, Sharp and Hewett looks pretty mouth watering going into the future.

Imagine if you’d taken Cumming instead of Robey…

Must have missed the Robey write up will have a look. Good drafting

This pick speaks for itself, it knows who it is.

Carlton select AIDAN SCHUBERT.



With the loss of Curnow, it makes sense for the Blues to snare the best KPF of the draft here. In an ideal world I'd have ended up with Sharp-Dovaston as my pairing, but the forward duo will suffice for now.

maxrm you're up

 

[eaglevision]

Tough selection here. I’ve got 4 players that I was seriously looking at in CDT, Sharp, Cumming and Robey.

Taylor is another that I rate highly but I don’t think is a fit for the Eagles at this point and I’m not comfortable looking at a general defender at pick 4.

I’ll do a write up and put my case forward for this selection tomorrow but probably as a bit of a surprise I’m selecting……

At pick 4 West Coast select Sullivan Robey.

Sullivan Robey,192cm, Mid/Fwd.

This isn’t a reach, Sullivan Robey is ranked third in the open pool of players for this year’s Draft, yet for some reason he remains largely absent from discussion on this board at pick 2. The 192cm midfielder-forward has the frame and power that should get Eagles supporters excited. His style of play fits perfectly with what clubs at the top of the draft are crying out for, a genuine big-bodied mid who can push forward and impact the scoreboard.

Robey’s rise through the ranks has been nothing short of extraordinary. A late developer as he’s had a growth spurt of some 16cm in the last 18 months. He only broke into the Coates League side in Round 12, but once he did, he didn’t just hold his spot, he became the competition’s most dominant player. In just nine games, Robey averaged 20 disposals and kicked 18 goals, an incredible return for a player still adjusting to the tempo of elite junior football.

Peaking in the finals series he delivered some of the most eye-catching performances of the year. In the wildcard final, Robey produced a breathtaking display with 40 disposals and 3 goals. Then, in the grand final, he kicked 4 goals, all while playing through a broken collarbone and lead his side to a Coates League premiership. These were the performances that saw Robey rocket to the top of draft boards.

Robey’s game is built around his clean hands and explosive power. He’s strong in the contest but also has an ability to catch opponents on the outside, he thrives in tight and has a natural ability to burst through traffic, often breaking the line and driving his side forward. When on the move and receiving the ball on the outside his next 4-5 steps are electric as he accelerates to top speed. There is a little bit of Judd about him in that sense, maybe it’s the shoulder strapping too but he definitely gives me Judd Vibes when he accelerates with ball in hand. I’m not saying he’s Judd or as quick but he certainly accelerates with ball in hand and finds his way through traffic.

When pushing forward his impact has been elite. Kicking 18 goals (18.2) is a remarkable level of efficiency. He leads strongly, presents well , and has shown he can be an aerial threat, using his height and strength to his advantage.

My biggest knock on Robey apart from his lack of exposure is his reluctance to use his left side. At times he tries to get back onto his right, particularly by hand which can lead to him being tackled or making poor decisions as pressure arrives. I don’t think it’s that he can’t use his left side, he has used his left at times so maybe it’s not so much of a skills issue but simply guessing it’s a confidence thing or bad habit.

All told, Sullivan Robey has everything a clubs craves at the top of the draft. Size, athleticism, scoreboard impact, and the ability to step up when it matters most. His late-season surge has been nothing short of spectacular, arguably one of the biggest rises in draft history. Is his lack of exposure that damming and will club recruiters balk or is it more a matter of looking at what this late developer can actually do now.

Good write up with limited footage, excellent points with the fast adjustment. Would add that his decision making (both speed and option) needs development and despite his excellent goal accuracy this is not as reflected in his field kicking.

You covered it in a round about way on his burst but in general I also like his ability to get separation through strength and more importantly power.

Should be spoken about more here.

I’ll be honest. English Literature wasn’t a subject for me I’m doing my best
