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.
5. Pick 5 - Adelaide: Harvey Langford
Langford's 1st Mock Draft Selection:ย Melbourne (Pick 6)
Adelaide's 1st Mock Draft Selection:ย Sid Draper
Position:ย Midfielder
Height:ย 191cm
State:ย Victoria
Club:ย Mount Martha
The Crows look to Larke Medal winner Harvey Langford in this Mock Draft given first edition selection Sid Draper is off the table in this exercise.
Langford can quite offer the pace that Draper might provide the Crows' engine room ensemble, but he can be the powerful and athletically gifted match-winner the club may be on the lookout for with their opening pick.
The Dandenong Stingrays star averaged close to 26 disposals and 1.3 goals per game in the Talent League while being viewed as the best player at the U18s National Championships.
