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
6Pick 6 - Richmond: Sam Grlj
| 10 RANK |  | Sam Grlj Oakleigh Chargers Midfielder HEIGHT: 182cm | â–¶+ |
The Tigers brought in Sam Lalor and Josh Smillie last year, two highly rated big-bodied mids who will be well served by having some pace around them, which is exactly what Grlj provides.
The Oakleigh junior has a competitive underbelly, but it's his flashiness when the ball spreads from the contest and ability to get multiple possessions in a chain that should appeal to the Tigers, who got a glimpse of his capability in a pair of VFL matches earlier this year.
