The first night of the 2025 AFL Draft didn't come without surprises, with the 25 selections made in the opening round leaving a handful of draft stars on offer for night two in the aftermath.
Players rated in the top 20 by some are still up for grabs, with a handful of club-tied teenagers also featuring among the best players available.
North Melbourne will open the second round, with the Dogs, Blues and Eagles to follow to kickstart the conclusion of this year's draft.
Here we look at the 10 best AFL Draft prospects still available.
2Blake Thredgold
Expect North Melbourne to heavily consider Thredgold with the first pick of night two, having done plenty of work on him in the latter stages of 2025.
Thredgold was linked to Fremantle and some other clubs in the first round, with a prevailing belief from many industry sources that, given he was the clear standout tall defender in the open pool of his draft class, he could have his name read out early.
Played just one game at the U18s National Championships but starred in the SANFL U18s Grand Final with a best afield performance on first round draftee Mitch Marsh.
Locks down effectively, marks confidently and is athletically sound.
