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.
22. Pick 22 - North Melbourne (Traded from Richmond): Jonty Faull
Faull's 1st Mock Draft Selection:ย Richmond (Pick 24)
Position:ย Key Forward
Height: 195cm
State:ย Victoria
Club:ย Redan
The second selection the Roos received in our projected trade deal with Richmond, with North Melbourne able to add to their key forward ranks after taking Gippsland defender Alix Tauru earlier in the count.
Faull is among several tall forwards likely available in this range of the first round, with the trade expected to give the Kangaroos access to at least one exciting target who can mix with Nick Larkey and Zane Duursma in the near future.
Faull managed to overcome a back injury in the first half of the year to be one of the more dominant forwards in the Talent League this season, showing off his marking abilities and strong hands for the GWV Rebels as well as Vic Country at the national carnival.
