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
23Pick 23 - North Melbourne (Traded with Hawthorn): Harley Barker
North Melbourne added some outside run with the second selection they pocketed from Hawthorn in their trade deal early in the draft.
After acquiring a top key position player in Cooper Duff-Tytler with Pick 13, the Roos add some outside run to a burgeoning midfield unit.
North Melbourne has stocked up on and developed central pieces to their long-term engine room plans with Harry Sheezel, Colby McKercher, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Finn O'Sullivan all top-five picks over the past decade, and Barker would add to that cohort nicely with his skill set as a wingman.
