2025 Draft Report Card
Surprised they don't all read 'the dees are crying out for a key forward and didn't get one so they failed.' Also Fox footy tell us you use chapgpt to edit your writing — without telling us.

The 2025 AFL Draft Thread
People losing their mind over Pickett going a few picks before he was projected to in Cal's Phantom - to go to Roos. His stocks had obviously risen. Roos pick Dovaston instead. Could be a bit of Kozzy/Cody Weightman about it. I know who i'd rather have.

AFL Draft 2025: Phantom Drafts
- AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
Good enough to be one though. Especially in this draft- AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
I know plenty have gone into bat here but it literally says it as a disclaimer every power ranking. 'The final Form Guide will be released a week ahead of the draft. Remember, this is a ranking and not our mock draft on where players will be drafted – that will come in draft week.' Cals eye test and looking at stats, best ons, form, etc. Plenty of people have said clubs rankings are different to the media, and that media ranking doesn't always correlate to AFL. Cal nailed last year until Faull pick then it went pair shaped. JT must looking at who will become the next Bailey Fritsch ie Nairn.- Cameron Nairn
Yeah neither. I think JT must see some similarities to Fritsch who he would have tracked for a long time which is too good to pass up on.- Sam Grlj
All good. Comment is purely based on footage of his back half play. Some blokes will listen and take on feedback more than others. Which is important if he's playing a high risk run and gun game behind the ball. You'll get punished the other way if you cough it up- Sam Grlj
Is he coachable is going to be the biggest question with this kid. Needs to pick and choose when to run and take the game on and not do it with reckless abandon like he does sometimes in his highlights. Definitely has the line breaking and link up speed the modern game requires though.- Realistic 23 for 2026
My go at it. Going from little snippets of info along the way. I think Adams plays FB due to rumours dogs were into him. Need to give him an opportunity. They mentioned they believed CJ plays his best footy at HBF. I think Lever will get a crack at interceptor allowing Turner to go forward if his body is all good. Though I love Turner in that role. Otherwise he's back and JVR or Kentfield forward. AMW to get a crack at replacing McVee 🤞 his knee is alright. Langford could easily start as big bodied inside mid, though with Steele and Viney, I don't mind him on the wing. He and Culley to drift forward as the cross goal option. Langdon repurposed as a high forward connector. Heath as tall forward/back up ruck to prolong Gawn. Salem Adams Lever Bowey Petty Jiath Culley Windsor Langford Langdon Turner Chandler Fritsch Miochek Melksham Gawn Kozzy Viney AMW Lindsay Steele Rivers Heath Emer: From Tholstrup JVR Sparrow Kentfield TMc 1st rnd picks etc- AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
But JVR, Riv, Kolt, Kentfield, Adams and granted he was draft from SA, Kozi, all seem happy enough. JTs strategy to draft the best player usually works out. Turned 1 first rnd pick into 2 + a second rounder in LJ, and Judd a rookie into a second rounder. Farrow looks like he has a good head on his shoulders. Poise, class, good aerial game and decision making. Can win his own footy and physicality to go inside as well.- AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
First point agree. Need to target two guys who will be extended bench and putting pressure on minimum. Ball movement is the key to all. Last point why I've liked Robey. Though it might not be the yr for a guy like him with a fwd line of Melk, Mihocek and Fritsch, who I think will all play the whole season and prosper from better ball movement. Kozzy will be a mid imo so will need to draft energy like Dove and Pickett. Langford natural progression to mid but I don't mind him wing with Culley. Steele might allow this. With Viney, Windsor, Kozzy and Rivers midfield looks alright. All points not good for Kolt though. I still like him long-term but think he'll still be fringe.- AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
We'll win 10 games. Goody's game plan was outdated. If we draft well we're potentially replacing 3 best 23 with 5-6. Tracs a loss but we have a more even spread of contributors. Clarry and McVee are easily covered on last year's form. Sharp isn't on my extended bench.- Welcome to Demonland: Latrelle Sumner-Pickett
Good summation. No disrespect to the kid he looks a quality player but it sounds like we're being baited to use a higher pick on him. Clubs know he'll be a carrot to keep Kozzie happy, so others slip through.- Archie Ludowyke
Journos probably into them everyday. Probably throwing them a bone rather than give away their own position. They'd be chatting to players and managers regularly gauging other clubs interest. Would explain why Twomey is generally so accurate with Phantom - AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
