Pity Port don't have a good draft hand this year. they've just had a NGA approved (who is a likely #1 pick in 2026). so will need the picks/pointsto match next year, can't trade for anything good this year as they've only got 49 & 85 to play with

know our luck we'd do the trade and he'd go the pick before ours

We made trade week interesting, could have received a nicer double up fixture as a thank you!

Sometime after midday according to an article I read earlier.

It is mad, but we'll never get that atmosphere. That 60,000 home fans in a rectangular stadium. I liked Enter Sandman, also don't mind Hells Bells, probably better suited. But no doubt they'll try get something for the younger generation.

know a few fellas who go for Essendon, we like to make a day out of going to the footy, but going to adelaide probably too big of a day

afl.com.auLeague makes big change to weighted rule ahead of fixture...Teams can play up to four other teams in their ladder range, previously three, from next season THE AFL has made a key change to its fixture build, with the League updating its 'weighted rule' and lifting how many double-up games can be played by a team against a fellow club in its ladder range. Under the League's three-way split of the ladder – the top six teams, the middle six and the bottom six – the AFL uses the weighted rule to determine 'double-up' games. In 2025 the clubs could play either two or three of their own group twice, and one or two clubs in the other groups. However the League has made a change to its weighted rule, with the update seeing teams being able to play up to four of their own group as double up games rather than three. Because of the addition of Opening Round, Gather Round and increased club requests for marquee slots and fixtures, the League's scheduling team has made the move to add more flexibility to the fixture. The League will announce its full fixture for 2026 on Thursday.

at least Cumming wasn't one of your picks with that phrasing.

Bottom 17

It's a no from me, but do you think he'll end up on an AFL list at all for next year?

Local soccer club (State League 1SE) for that area is St Kilda Celts.

Assumed it was a religious pun tbh

From that Reddit Thread I watched Gettable so you don't have to - Pick or Treat - Willem Duursma will be going to West Coast with Pick 1 but clubs aren't overly sure what they'll do next. Taking Cooper Duff-Tytler at #2 still seems the most likely option - "Regardless of who's there, Richmond will bid" on any of the Academy or F/S tied players available at Pick 3 or 4 - Duff-Tytler would be a certainty for Richmond if he gets past West Coast - Essendon's NGA products Adam Sweid and Hussain El Ackhar are both in the Pick 25-40 range meaning neither of them are guaranteed to be matched by Essendon - Essendon would be the most likely club to make a bid on Carlton F/S Harry Dean, who's the highest rated KPD prospect in 5 years - Lachy Dovaston is seen as the best small forward in the draft, whilst Aidan Schubert is seen as the best KPF - Glenelg small forward Latrelle Pickett will be the first mature aged player picked in the draft - The chance of Essendon landing Josh Weddle is "minimal" - Carlton will likely wait until draft night to trade out Pick 9 and Pick 11. They want a Future 1st and points for Harry Dean. Although not many clubs are keen to bring forward picks - Adelaide has interest in pushing up the board from Pick 16 to Pick 9 - AFL will wait to see how the bidding system fairs in this draft before making new rules in December. - Gold Coast's Pick 15 is still up for grabs for more draft points, as is Brisbane's Pick 17 (Fun side note, this was a response to my question) - The Delisted Free Agency period opens on Monday, although more clubs are likely to use the SSP train-on system instead - Former Lion Deven Robertson and former Pie Fin Macrae look set to join the rookie list at West Coast - Sydney Academy players Max King, Harry Kyle and Lachlan Carmichael have interest around the 15-25 range, meaning the Swans may not be able to match some of the bids - West Coast NGA product Tylah Williams could attract some interest in the late first round
