Welcome to Craft of the Draft's second AFL Mock Draft for 2026, with this edition involving selections from all 18 teams, six matched bids, and a total of 43 picks - covering the first two rounds of the draft.
This edition of our Mock Draft looks at alternative outcomes compared to our first Mock Draft, which focused on the first 18 picks of this month's AFL Draft. No trades were made during this Mock Draft.
A bid for Brisbane's promising Academy prospect falls at the same mark as our first Mock Draft, with state rivals in the Suns forcing the reigning premiers' hand once again.
The Lions are required to pay a premium given the 20% tax that will come with the bid, with Brisbane stumping up two top 25 picks and more than a third of their allowed deficit points in the process.
Murray is set to add to a star-studded defensive group at the Lions, bringing run and line-breaking abilities that could be honed by the mentorship of Dayne Zorko and Darcy Wilmot.
BID: Brisbane uses Picks 19+25, as well as 146 deficit points, to match the bid.
