The 2025 AFL Draft Thread

Featured Replies

Omg what is happening! We've just doubled our Picketts!

 

That surprises and excites me. It sounds like Kozzie was going heavy on speaking him up and it has worked. Some serious talent, mature body, and our outstanding Indigenous program under Matty Whelan will be in full swing.

 

Not sure about taking Pickett where we did, but obviously we wanted him and knew he wouldn’t be available in a few picks time.

if it keeps Kozzie in the R&B for the rest of his career, then it’s shrewd drafting

Stop it PF!!! He’s our boy now. Let’s get behind him.


So he was playing ressies... Not even firsts at Glenelg... This is a punt

Good for our sponsors. Plenty of engaging content.

We had to replenish our Pickett stock after trading one out to GWS in the Clarry Package.

 

Loved every bit of that few minutes after Pickett’s name got called. Kid was trembling and did well to get the words out.

These are great stories, good luck to both draftees.

Not sure - Latrelle Picket in. Picket Fence out.

I remember when we draft kozzie people said it's too high for a small forward. he only averages 9 touches a game etc... look at him now.

Happy to trust Taylor and co (but I am very surprised)

Yes, getting quite a lot of CloudFlare commection timed out pages coming up. Not sure if that's due to traffic given interest in the draft, or residual from a global issue CloudFlare's systems had last night.

With all respect, this was not the best choice. Hope he proves me wrong, but we had other needs.

No its called enabling and I don't like it!

A tad premature to making that judgement, wouldn't you say? In JT we trust.

Now I'm just casually monitoring in case we trade up to get Lindsay or Thredgold.

A wasted mongrel left foot punt... J.T and BRAINS TRUST Needed to nail this AND they havent

Disgrace!

X Taylor is a player, will need to find his role and place in the club but Kingy should sort him out.

Latrelle is a gamble, but Kozzie didn’t do a whole lot in his draft year. No club is better placed to get the most out of him and he’s got some genuine moves - and we sure have genuine needs.

We have lost 400 games of midfield exp inc 2 premiership players yet we don’t pick any mids with 7&8 … nothing against the boys they picked but have I missed something here?i

 

Hmm, is it just me or are Harry Dean and X Taylor the only key position prospects taken so far (speaking at pick 17)

Xtra is only 192cm, so even he isn't necessarly a KPD.

Probey and Derpsma are both notably tall but not really key position types.

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
