Draft Profile Mature Agers 2025 edition

[Miguel Sanchez]

Waylon Davey Motlop is playing in the SANFl for Glenelg this year and has supposedly lost a lot of weight and is taking the game more seriously.

That sounds exactly like the path Willie Rioli took to get drafted.

 

[Eldridge Mali]

Going to try and do an ongoing power rankings of AFL draftable guys for the year, updating weekly. Round 1 may be a little skewed as 3 teams had the bye (Frankston, GWS, Gold Coast), but here it is;

$5 Luca Muratore, Western Bulldogs VFL, 22 years old, 180cm, small fwd / midfielder
Kicked 4 in a resoundingly one sided affair against Northern Bullants. Expect big things from this buzz box

#4 Cam Nyko, Essendon VFL, 20 years old, 180cm, utility
Kicked 3 and turned the game in a topsy turvy game in the Bombers favour. Looks a class above

#3 Nick Williams, Southport, 18 years old, 190cm, utility
16 possessions in a clean display across half back for an under siege Sharks side.

#2. Riley Baldi, Casey Demons,, 23 years old, 181cm, small midfielder / forward
31 possessions for this country star. Inside midfield

#1 Riley Mason, Collingwood VFL, 23 year old, 197cm, key forward (Link to a Rookie Me summary of his game)
4 goals from 10 possessions in a 25 point win for the VFL Magpies.


Some honourable mentions and ones to keep an eye out for 2025 that may feature soon enough.
Ethan Williams (Southport) Wyatt Greenaway (Brisbane), Tobyn Murray (Richmond VFL) couple at Frankston im keen to see next week.

Anyone impress you on week one of VFL football?

Donovan Toohey, elite kick, 40 possessions for Coburg.

Obviously some byes in round 2 are skewing the rankings at the moment but can only go off what we have. Some movers and shakers.

Riley Baldi moves to the top of the rankings after another big game for the Demons, 181cm/23 y.o small forward Flynn Young jumps up to second after a hugely influential game for Weribee against my mob on Saturday. Riley Mason couldn't do anything as his Pies had the bye. Josh Hamilton has had two big weeks for a largely undermanned Northern Bullants, the 21 year old, 179cm midfielder has now had 27 & 25 possessions and a goal a game over the first two weeks. Lively Richmond small fwd Massimo Raso has jumped out of no where to put up some decent numbers in the first two weeks. 19 & 2 in round 1, 24 & 2 (behinds) in round 2 are big numbers for an 18 year old standing at 171cm. Ethan Williams (Sandringham), Nick Williams (Southport), Josh Green (Por Melbourne) and Taj Campbell-Farrah (Frankston) close enough to the top 5.

#1 Riley Baldi - Casey Demons (up 1 spot)
#2 Flynn Young - Weribee Zebras (NEW)
#3 Riley Mason - Collingwood Magpies (down 2 spots)
#4 Josh Hamilton - Northern Bullants (NEW)
#5 Massimo Raso - Richmond VFL (NEW)

HM. Ethan Williams (Sandringham), Nick Williams (Southport), Josh Green (Port Melbourne), Taj Campbell-Farrah (Frankston), Joel Trudgeon (Coburg)

#1 Riley Mason, Collingwood VFL, 23 year old, 197cm, key forward (Link to a Rookie Me summary of his game)
4 goals from 10 possessions in a 25 point win for the VFL Magpies.

His first two goals were impressive, the latter two were one out the back and a fairly straightforward set shot after winning a free. Personally I was more impressed by Liam McMahon's haul of four.

Has anyone mentioned Richmond's Tom McCarthy yet?

I watch all games that Kane McAuliffe plays and this fella has really caught my eye 2 weeks in a row, a real aggressive runner off half back, good size and excellent skills, a real metres gained type running back,

You're not "that" SEN caller are you?

 

[Mutineer]

You're not "that" SEN caller are you?

Huh?

I just watch Richmond VFL games because I have interest in Kane McAuliffe's games, no other reason and Tom McCarthy has been a standout for a player I wasn't aware of until watching Kane's games.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

What's Kobe Ryan got to do to get an opportunity?

There’s a guy who calls in to SEN every now and then to rant, and always mentions McAuliffe not getting a fair go at senior level.

That's like 73.8% of Richmond fans tbh

Not me bud, it's just that he played for the same colts team as I did Central Augusta and for other personal reasons.

Not bad by Kane considering he only played the 3 quarters before being rested as back up for the seniors?

Boyd had the luxury of going up against a guy who has never played footy and should probably never again.

Kane is starting to show glimpses of his burst from stoppage which we didn't see last year which is exciting.

McCarthy been good twice. I didn't watch a lot last year but apparently started well before dropping away. Not sure how old he is.

Don't worry I've looked into Tom McCarthy's footy background, he's 24 and has virtually come from nowhere in regards to top level footy.

Yeah that Colina bloke is pretty useless, Samson Ryan was far more competitive when he went into the ruck and way way better skilled by a long long way.
