In a draft class with some uncertainty, one thing which appears locked in is that Willem Duursma will be selected at Pick 1.

Here are the 10 best midfielders from the class of 2025.
8Beau Addinsall (Gold Coast Academy)
A hard-working midfielder who finds the footy at will, Addinsall was a strong performer for the AFL Academy earlier in 2025 in its pair of matches against VFL sides.
Played just one game at the U18s National Championships due to a hamstring injury, but has plenty of runs on the board as a high-production, consistent player since 2023.
One of five Gold Coast Academy prospects expected to attract National Draft bids.
