I'd be shocked if Armstrong doesn't get drafted in the top 12 picks and by one of the Victorian clubs

Hmm, I think Richmond hold steady and take: 1: Lalor 6: in order of availability and preference Langford/Jagga/Reid/Smillie 10: Armstrong 11: Travaglia 18: Trainor 20: Faull 22: Dattoli 24: Gerryn

Fantastic video…amazing knowledge and video delivery for the draft. 😊

I’d be pretty disappointed with that haul as a Richmond fan. Keep and use the picks …

My Phantom Draft: Rich (FOS), Bris (Ashcroft), Nth(Tauru), Carl(Draper), Ade(Smith), Melb(Lalor), Rich(Langford), GC(Lombard), STK(Reid), STK(Allen), Melb(Armstrong), Ess(Kako), Rich(Travaglia), Rich(Smillie), WC(Lindsay), Port(J.Whitlock), Freo(Berry), GWS(Hannaford), GWS(Hotton), Dogs(Dattoli), Rich(Trainor), Syd(Shannahan), Rich(Faull), Bris(Marshall), GWS(M.Whitlock), Syd(Hynes), Rich(Dodson)

I think Richmond do get a key forward in this draft so they can be mentored by Tom Lynch before he departs

Spectacular selections once again mate! Quite surprised Armstrong has fallen down the order the way he has in your mock draft but the reasoning is quite sound from what you've said. I am sceptical on the idea North Trade their future 1st with the Saints to land Trainor. It's a good idea to try landing him but I feel it'd have to include more for what's potentially going to be a top 6 pick in 2025 draft. Hannaford to the dogs is a really nice fit. Something feels right about this. Jack Whitlock to North though. Wow. That's a statement selection right there. Again your reasoning is sound and tbh it's a exceptional mold to how he can just learn Darling the key attributes and skills to be a powerful and strong key Forward for the future. Stunned to think Shanahan falls to this point and arguably I think I'd like North to select Jobe as he's got the hallmarks to be both a key Forward and Defender. Brilliant mock draft mate. Everyone walks away happier with those selections I find.

Great breakdown. I dont think Richmond will take 3 talls in Faull, Whotlock and Dodson. More likely, 3 mids (whoch you got correct), 2 tall forwards and 1 small forward. Tall defenders is currently our greatest strength, and for tall forwards, we are looking for combative types. The Faull pick is spot on, rather than Whitlock i think we would take Gerreyn, who can play ruck (alleviating the need for Dodson) and then Alger with our final pick. As always love your work

"The Eagles basically can't win the ball and when they do, they can't control it" I hate that I laughed

Great work as always. Bombers want anyone who is not a midfielder. The trade could happen but I have a feeling it would be a different player. Good idea though.

Great job 👏

Lachie Jaques I think from the Geelong falcons looks good. What his draft range

West Coast didn't HAVE to give up pick 3 at all. Hawthorn already offered us pick 14 before they gave it to Carlton. Still seething about our stupidity. I'd love to get Travaglia but doubt he'll be there at 15, neither will Allan or Lindsay probably. Cooper Hynes is probably our most likely option.

Look at the quality Richmond have. This is why they cannot trade away their 3rd pick.

Decent video but I don't know why u would use a edit that displays footage in red when u can't even make out what players are near the ball on the field

Hard to see tigers not getting one of Armstrong, Whitlock or Shanahan. We need 2 key forwards so we'll get 1 this year and 1 next year

Reid is similar traits to Shane Edwards

I’d be eternally grateful if Travaglia got to West Coast but he won’t make it to #15 and I think west coast slid down the order only to miss Travaglia, Lindsay and Allan. So a total balls up from trading #3

Isn't taj hotton a better mid-forward than joe berry due to his ceiling?

This seems so accurate, but as a Richmond tragic atm i just dont like it. If Richmond can walk away with Lalor, FOS/Jagga (Depending on Pick 2 trade), Hotton, Shanahan, and J Whitlock, I would be so happy. Add Hynes and Dodson - Richmond will win the cup in 2029 🐯

Always love your work you do a great job. My personal opinion is I am not a fan of mock trades. I like the Mock Drafts to be based on the current situation not hyperthetical trades that probably won't happen.

I'll do 10 for 2 first rounders in 2025. Yep, at 11, I'll take the best available, and our twenty picks plenty of talls for us.

Man Joe berry in that forward line gets me very excited. Do you think freo could be thinking that next year Pickett requests a trade to Freo ? Could that make them maybe pass on a player like berry ?

Great work mate. Way better content than all these other mongs in the afl TH-cam community.

Happy with Travaglia though seriously doubt he makes it to wc. There are whispers that Reid is another kid who doesn't want to leave Victoria. I felt your sincere pain about giving up pick 3. I'm still dead inside.

Travaglia. As a personal bias it would actually make trading pick 3 worth it for me (as I would've been happy with taking him at pick 3).

How does the mock look guys...? Let me know in the comments below!

St Kilda Pick 7 , Josh Smillie , Pick 8 , Bo Allan

Engine - Smith, Reid, Smillie, Langford Strike - Draper, Lalor, Allan, FOS' Would that be your take Dylan

No way the blues take Draper over Jagga. As Smith develops over the years it allows Cripps to play more forward and extend his career 😉

Fyfe is just a “nice to have” player in Freo’s mix. IMO it’s more a matter of “we have a two time Brownlow medalist. We should play him”. Does not play a role that needs replacing.

I don’t think Essendon would trade their future first round pick, nothing this trade period suggests they will be better than they are this year and are looking to push youth into the side. The Melbourne future 1 is definitely up for grabs though, I think if tobie Trav or smilie are around and Essendon can get back in I think it could happen. Nice video though mate

Richmond will not give up 3 pick. Bad call

Really good video, I would think as a Bombers supporter that Harry Armstrong would be a bigger need if we traded back into pick 13. Smillie is definitely a really good pick, but they have guys like Perkins, Durham, Martin & maybe even Caddy as a hybrid big bodied mid.

If Tigers and North dont swap pick 2 (not including other pick swaps or father & son, academy picks) 1. Sam Lalor (Richmond) 2. A. Tauru (North) (Norths target but may also go with next best midfield after pick 1) 3. FoS (Carlton) 4. S. Draper (Adelaide) 5. H. Langford (Melbourne) 6. J. Smith (Richmond) 7. M. Reid (Saints) 8. J. Smillie (Saints) 9. H. Armstrong (Melbourne) 10. T. Travaglia (Richmond) 11. O. Hannaford, J. Faull or J. Shanahan ... (1 of 3 - Richmond will target a key forward here - if H. Armstrong already taken) This really is a deep super draft. I think you have 6x A+ midfielders, another 8x A, A- midfielders. If i was Richmond, i'd offer 6+20 for Pick 2 .. if North don't want that, Richmond should just keep their picks. They will get another A+ midfielder (likely J. Smith). Can still find plenty of talent in this draft in the top 25 picks. Richmond could and should keep 18 - North still get 20 which will still give them access to a player that still has elite attributes. Tigers could trade swap a F1 for next year for their late picks. Tigers should also keep pick 24 (the first pick on 2nd day i think is too important to trade away). I don't think their is any clear standout this year unlike the last 2 years. However, i think their is more elite talent and the difference between the group of 6 of A+ midfielders is only on style. This years top picks will most likely all be future champions of the game. Has not been another draft like this since 2001. Looking at Tigers draft the last few years, they haven't had any high picks since 2016 given their Dynasty period and trading away their recent high picks for Taranto and Hopper has set back their rebuild. 2024 and 2025 are likely to be the last 2 years before Tasmania enter the field and take many of the top picks for several years. This year and the next - is the time to rebuild, after that it will be difficult to access top talent not affected by the coming changes. Trade only for F1 picks for 2025.

I love all your analysis but I just can’t see the Bombers giving up that much for another midfielder, no matter how big he his. Not when they have more much more pressing needs in other areas. I’d rather they look at someone like Travaglia or Armstrong at that mark tbh

A weird choice and dont know what his tank is like but i would put murray in the middle and give him a season to get tongrips with the position. Hes hard at the ball, isnt afraid to dig in has pace a booming kick and has a masive size to him

The worst team in the afl for playing young players and getting the best out of them.

Dylan can't eveb pronounce Serong's nane Its not Serron Ffs

The guys name is pronounced Shay As in Che Guevara How much do you know about him if you can't even pronounce his name

I was genuinely shocked to hear you are a fellow north fan after seeing the tiges pick trade scenario in other videos and this one, if we trade 2 and future first for 6 and 10, surely ask for a something back , a second or 3rd rounder at least

I don’t see Essendon doing that for Smilie I’d rather they did it for Armstrong!

finally sm1 talked abt freo

Exceptional mock draft mate!!! Your analysis and evaluation of the pick 2 trade is spot on and I do feel that a trade for pick 2 alone can certainly net picks 6 and 18 which is acceptable for both parties involved. Loved your reasoning for Melbourne selecting Langford and especially on the idea of them potentially taking Tauru ahead of North. IF they did do that, then North taking Armstrong is a given and by far tbe best plan B to any plan of addressing KP needs. Nailing it mate! Tauru is such a point of difference for North, and especially in tandem for what they have already. Completely agree with the idea of him as the Auxiliary and I'd even suspect the flying Viking gets time up forward too. Will Dawson gets to lock down the emerging key Defender North need moving forward while Tauru could shadow say Charlie Comben and play a rotation with North's line-up in moving Comben or Tauru up forward for more height and aggression while the other sits in the CHB role to cut off defensive 50's. That's a crème de la crème right there. That pick 13 trade in by the bombers absolutely SCREAMS flavour man. Makes so much sense for both sides and is the exact kind of buy in the AFL comp and fan base would want to see. I am salivating to this mock draft so far mate. On the road to Eldorado kind of excitement! Keep up the good stuff!!!

Bombers fan here i was hoping for smiley but I'm thinking its going to be out of our reach

Hey Dylan love your work mate, can’t say as a bombers fan I’d be happy over paying for that pick though, two first rounders next year is not worth it, rather keep them.

great work Dylan, you're the best draft content creator hands down. Looking forward to part 2

Surely if smilie and Allen are still on the board at we taken them at 7 & 8

Sorry to say but your top10 mock draft is a fair way off You'll see on the 20th
