Some of those draft stars could still make their way onto an AFL list, with the Rookie Draft the next best mechanism to do so.

Became a favourite of many draft followers in the lead up to the draft, but was polarising among clubs, with some questioning whether he had a point of difference, while a handful saw significant upside.
He ultimately was not called out at the National Draft, but clubs couldn't question that he would give it 100 per cent if they gave him a rookie spot, given he played the entire 2025 season with a torn labrum, as he spoke to Craft of the Draft about.
A clean North Adelaide midfielder who uses the footy well and would likely start his career off half-back.
