The countdown to the 2025 AFL Draft has reached the final week, so as we near this year's exciting intake, we've covered how the first round of picks might play out - for the second time!
This exercise follows our first edition Mock Draft from last month, with our second edition assessing alternative selections for a range of clubs and including live trades to showcase the ripple effect of those changes.
This draft includes a total of 27 first-round selections, with four matched bids expected to fall on night one of the AFL Draft, while we've also predicted one live trade to take place.
So, without further ado, here isย Zero Hanger'sย second edition AFL Mock Draft for 2024.
11. Pick 11 - Melbourne: Harry Armstrong
Armstrong's 1st Mock Draft Selection:ย St Kilda (Pick 9)
Melbourne's 1st Mock Draft Selection:ย Luke Trainor
Position:ย Key Forward
Height:ย 195cm
State:ย Victoria
Club:ย Ormond
A prospect the Demons will heavily consider with their first pick, and by passing on Armstrong earlier, will also be praying he slides past the Saints.
That is the case in this outcome, with St Kilda looking elsewhere in what could be a major win for Melbourne.
Armstrong would join a burgeoning key forward crop at the Demons - currently home to Jacob van Rooyen and uncapped first-round pick Matt Jefferson - giving them a trio of emerging talls to combine in the attacking 50.
