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.
Completing a fourth successive selection of taller targets at the draft, the Demons get access to high-flying Gippsland forward Wil Malady in what is a pick that is sure to excite Demons fans.
While not as tall as the trio taken before him, the 190cm attacker's balance of being a ground-level presence while being able to soar for the high entries is what makes him such a promising option.
Malady may even find himself up on the wing come his time in the AFL, with his hard-working efforts and running patterns able to open up the field.
