Welcome to Craft of the Draft's second AFL Mock Draft for 2025, with a total of 23 selections made in our latest prediction of how the first round of this year's count might unfold.
Our second edition Mock Draft follows the draft order changes from the trade period, while trading picks has also become an option should any club wish to move their selections.
This exercise also looks to deviate from our first Mock Draft with alternative selections where we see fit, creating a chain reaction of changes to show the potential ripple effect of these alterations.
Mitch's Picks: West Coast, Essendon, Hawthorn, Sydney, GWS, Geelong, North Melbourne, Port Adelaide
Jonty's Picks: Richmond, Gold Coast, St Kilda, Carlton, Western Bulldogs, Fremantle, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Collingwood
11Pick 11 - Melbourne: Aidan Schubert

The Dees have lacked a spearhead for some time, relying on hybrid types to carry the brunt of the goal-scoring, with veteran Jake Melksham the epitome of that.
In Schubert, the Dees get a spearhead whom they can build the forward line around, with the South Australian's contested marking a strength, as well as his mobility, and he is more than capable of chopping out in the ruck.
He joins a forward like that holds first-round picks Jacob van Rooyen and Matthew Jefferson, who will be key in the Steven King era.
