Ok lets get it started,,,,You usually get the first pick and many more of the first rounders from the National Academy side.

2025 MARSH AFL NATIONAL ACADEMY BOYS​

The 2025 AFL National Academy Boys squad includes several young stars who will be looking to follow in the footsteps of family members in the AFL system.
They include Zeke Uwland who was the sole bottom-age player named in the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships All Australian squad following a dominant campaign for the Allies.
Uwland is the younger brother of Gold Coast Suns defender Bodhi Uwland, who finished second in the Suns’ best and fairest this year.
Willem Duursma will be striving to become the fourth sibling in his family to be drafted, with his three older siblings Xavier (Essendon), Zane (North Melbourne) and Yasmin (Carlton) all on AFL/AFLW lists.
Duursma was this year’s AFL Life Members Education Assistance Award recipient with Georja Davies, joining an illustrious list of winners that includes Harley Reid, Joel Selwood, Luke Hodge and Nic Naitanui.
The 2025 Marsh AFL National Academy Boys squad also features Cody Curtin, the younger brother of Adelaide Crows young gun Daniel, and Kalani White, the son of former Melbourne and Fremantle ruck Jeff.
Josh Lindsay and Beau Addinsall have both been selected after respectively claiming the Team Heppell and Team Sloane best player medals in the 2024 Marsh AFL Futures match, which was played on the MCG as a curtain-raiser to the 2024 Toyota AFL Grand Final.
North Adelaide ball magnet and SANFL U18 MVP Sam Cumming and Calder Cannons ruck Cooper Duff-Tytler, who was part of the Australia U16 basketball team which claimed gold at the 2023 FIBA Asia Cup, have also been included.

After the draft last night ,a couple of changes,l like Tom Burton as a mid,Cooper Duff,and Louis Emmett as taller ruck types,,,
I think with the taller player's ,it will depend on who we take tonight,,if we take Dodson well that changes things for next year.
To be honest l found next year hard,,SA looks like they might have a great year in terms of talent,l think they picked there side months ago,and have already begun training together o_O

It looks like we will have 2 picks in the first 1-8 next year,

Not expecting either of us or # lifting much up the ladder next year, thinking more like 2 picks in the first 5. Depends if there is a futures buyer for tonight's pick 28 that we can death ride. We could hopefully be looking at a 3rd pick somewhere around 6 to 12. Another sugar rush for the fans at next years draft night.

At least he knows his parents hated him before he was born. Either that or they were high when they named him and thought it was really funny.
It's still funny, MrP. One for the ages.

There’s some cool names on that list.

Looks like there is an indigenous boy which is good (Taj Murray). One thing I noticed this year is the lack of indigenous players in the draft
