2025 Draft Thread
- Thread starter bengal tigers

Oh lol, so Turk just threw whatever names he felt like on those Swans draft positions?
This is the doco here -
It's been out since just after the draft.
Nothing earth shattering.
Early on Sydney show those points values for a player but no names, just the style of player - attacking mid, transition mid, high defender, hybrid defender etc.
Unless he knows something else, Turkish Delight must have then had a guess who fits where.
Cumming could have been 1 or 11.
Grlj - who knows which style of player they had him as, or if he was even one of those guys. They could have had him 20 for all we know.
Only ones leysy could lock in from that are key defender Dean at 6 and ruck CDT at 10.

He cited BF so probably just reposted rather than extrapolated.
No it was posted on BF by a swans supporter that lifted the document from vision on their board
Not sure what he would gain by doing it apart from showing what was in the drafting room for the swans and the names attached look about correct.
It was not me that put the names there and that was exactly what he posted which he lifted from a swans site
the person that put the names on may have had that info given to him as it was a document with the names next to the positions
I just copied the text that was in the post and posted that
The list is really interesting, I presume the Sully Robey/Dyson Sharp and Oscar Taylor/Josh Lindsay is mostly the guesswork because everything else makes sense.
Based on those scores we took the first and fourth player available at our picks, with Grlj the same score as those three at the top in Tier 1B.
I think we did pretty well based on our needs and from the footage and training reports they all seem to have a good crack

I’m nominating HARRY VAN HATTUM.
Don’t bid on anyone else - we might get them
Not a bad debut after no pre-season.
And Willem Duursma - Yikes!!
David King already calling him the "Slight Delight"
And Geez can play.
I thought Robey played last week in vfl?Not a bad debut after no pre-season.

Still bloody good effort
Dah zent matter. He is moving well. Such a shame we needed 3 picks and only had 2
So after 8 rounds, I thought I'd see how expectations were vs what we've seen.
Pretty much the expectations were there were a top 5 that we wouldn't be access to (Duursma, Uwland, CDT, Patterson and Annable) and it worked that way, along with Dean and then the rest it was almost like a blanket over them.
Obviously we've seen plenty in Cumming and Grlj so far, I can't see Duursma being that far ahead of either of them personally. I think overall, there are a lot of players that already look good, our 2, Robey has done a bit, Farrow will be very good, Pickett looks really good.
The one that sticks out for me though is Sharp. Watched him at the weekend, man he's slow. just couldn't keep up with play, perhaps he will be fine if playing a purely inside role but that time is sucked up by the likes of Parish, but the questions about Sharp at draft time are exactly what we've seen in his few games at AFL level so far. Not quick enough to keep involved in play at this stage. Perhaps he improves from here.
I'm so glad we got the 2 that we did, exactly what we need, and both already look at home in AFL footy.
