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
22Pick 22 - Essendon: Mitch Marsh
Essendon adds to their key forward stocks with the addition of the West Adelaide sharpshooter, who, despite stopping the tape at 191cm, marks the ball as though he were close to two metres tall.
With his follow-up work a leading trait, Marsh is often an awkward matchup for his direct opponent, which became evident as he finished atop the goalkicking at the U18s National Championships.
The Dons add another promising name to a front third that boasts fellow youngsters Nate Caddy and Isaac Kako, further sharpening the spear of Brad Scott's squad.
