AFL Draft 2025: Phantom Drafts

Grij and Farrow yes please

Edit: and Greeves!? 🤯

Didnt see that coming. I know he will drop down the draft but surely not that far.

 
 

feel like this is appropriate at this time, particularly looking at the ranking of the players without the club tied talent, it sort of puts it in perspective, leray at 33 is rated as the 23rd open pick, so pascoes placement of greeves at 50 is basically 35th

Reading the Play has us getting Grlj and Dovaston in their final Phantom Draft with picks #11 and #12.

I would be stoked with that combination.

Pick #11: Melbourne – Sam Grlj

Grlj has massive fans at Tigerland, so the Demons will be thrilled to snap him up here. He brings elite burst, toughness and power running — attributes that instantly inject energy into Melbourne’s transition game. While his disposal still has room to sharpen, the raw weapons are all there.
Other options: Melbourne are fans of Sam Cumming and Jacob Farrow, both of whom could be considered here.

Pick #12: Melbourne – Lachie Dovaston

An energiser and a genuine threat forward of centre, Dovaston could come off the board even earlier. With ground-level efficiency and explosive speed inside 50, he adds another dynamic layer to the Demons’ evolving forward mix.
Other options: Jevan Phillipou and Aidan Schubert are forward-half options Melbourne will also weigh up.

Pick #33: Melbourne – Cameron Nairn

The word is out that the Dees love Nairn, so much so that it has been floated that they’d be willing to take him with one of their first round selections. While that is too early, it’s easy to see why Melbourne would be into Nairn — he’s got good size, good skills, smart movement and a heap of upside.
Other Options: The only way the Dees don’t take Nairn is if he is off the board. In that case, they’d look at the likes of Greeves, Dalton, McCarthy and Wright. The Dees also like Suns academy prospect Beau Addinsall — he’s a live chance at this pick.

I'm guessing it's not ideally set up for mobile. All I can do is potential trades in a fairly difficult to navigate way.

They have us trading into a third first round pick (15) which I doubt will happen although it was something I advocated for last year (and might have gotten us a Murphy Reid) but that’s water under the bridge.

This year our drafters were somewhat negative about the draft’s strength so I would be surprised if they wanted a third pick in the first round.

Sam Grlj is going to be one of the best players from this draft. Bookmark it.

If he slides to us, we have absolutely won.

Alright, but your reputation is on the line..

the zerohangar or truefooty guys are way more insightful tbh, he's actually not very knowledgeable pommy bit of a passion merchant and just regurgitating other peoples thoughts


Ben Waterworth from Fox Footy has the Bombers picking Farrow at Pick 10 to be ahead of us.

Pick 11 - Xavier Taylor

Pick 12 - Cameron Nairn

In the mix/trade watch: The Demons have no choice but to sit and wait to see which of the top-end players will remain on the board. They would love it if Sullivan Robeyslid to them after showing so much early interest in him. They’ve also been linked to both Sam Cummingand Jacob Farrow, with rivals tipping the Demons to select the prospect that slips through to their pick, should that come to fruition. This is also where the draft range of small forwards Lachy Dovaston and Latrelle Pickett start, although scouts scoured in recent days believe it might be a touch early.

That's the Foxsports phantom by Ben Waterworth, yeah?

You're probably right but for the youtuber market I reckon he's filling a void. There are some good 10 min punchy videos for the layman that wants to keep up without having to wade through 30 minute+ motion picture length and frankly boring discussions about the draft loaded with terms that most people don't understand. It may work for people like us but I'm constantly talking to people who don't bother getting into it because most of the content like this is way too hard to understand. Easy to consume and fairly concise, even if it is regurgitated.

I also didn't realise Zerohanger had a YT channel until now.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
