The 2025 AFL Draft is being regarded as one of the most compromised in history, with a likely record number of Northern Academy, Next Generation Academy and father-son talents to join AFL lists.
Craft of the Draft last week named the top 13 prospects to watch, with four members of the top 10 tied to AFL clubs.
While the AFL has tightened rules to ensure clubs have to pay a greater price to secure their talent, the pedigree of many names listed this year will likely incentivise lots of dealings in the trade period as clubs attempt to match points.
Highlighting the strength of the tied-talent, every club has at least one player genuinely on the radar entering 2025.
VIEW: CURRENT AFL DRAFT ORDER
These are the names you might need to familiarise yourself with ahead of this year's AFL Draft.
Hawthorn
As was widely reported earlier this month, the Hawks asked the question of top 10 prospect Ollie Greeves' eligibility but were knocked back.
Goy Jiath, therefore, shapes as the main name to watch. The brother of Hawthorn's Changkuoth and Collingwood's Tew, Goy is a more powerfully built prospect and has had a strong pre-season.
Father-son prospect Kobe Williams, son of Mark, is another to name to know, listed at the Western Jets.
