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

Well, this ought to keep Demonland chatting for a few days.

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)

Anyone else experiencing connection problems with Demonland?

Excellent. I can turn this crǎp off now.

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.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • VOTES: Richmond

    Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
