Welcome to Craft of the Draft's maiden Mock Draft for 2025, with a total of 23 selections made in a 'live' count of how opening night for this year's intake might unfold.
Matched bids for Academy and father-son draft prospects are included in the Mock Draft, as are the estimated landing spots for free agency compensation selections.
Matched bids for clubs have seen their subsequent selection(s) dissolve from the draft order, pending the timing of the bids.
The 14 clubs involved in the Mock Draft were split between Craft of the Draft analysts Jonty Ralphsmith and Mitch Keating.
Jonty's Picks - West Coast, Essendon, Hawthorn, Sydney, Fremantle, GWS and Geelong
Mitch's Picks - Richmond, Gold Coast, St Kilda, Carlton, Western Bulldogs, Adelaide and Brisbane
Not Involved - North Melbourne, Melbourne, Port Adelaide and Collingwood
Pick 15 - Fremantle: Jacob Farrow
| 13 RANK |  | Jacob Farrow West Perth Midfielder/Defender HEIGHT: 188cm | â–¶+ |
The Dockers secure a local talent and the first Western Australian in our Mock Draft.
That selection doesn't just come as a match-maker for Farrow and a club close by, as the midfield-defender is seen as a potential top 10 pick, and therefore a chance to be a steal for Fremantle should he be available to them.
Farrow entered the U18s National Championships with little hype outside of WA, and finished his four-game spell as the state's best prospect, with his intercepting, power and run from the back half and through the middle earning him comparisons to Dockers gun Hayden Young.
