The 2025 AFL mid-season draft is set for Wednesday, May 28 at 6:30 pm AEST.
State league players around Australia will get their chance to join AFL lists where clubs have available spots due to retirement and long-term injury.
Richmond VFL star Tom McCarthy looms as the likely No. 1 pick to West Coast, he’ll be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Jai Newcombe, John Noble and Sam Durham among others who have become stars of the AFL after originally getting to the top-level through the MSD.
The pick order is based on winning percentage after Round 11 given that both Essendon and Gold Coas have played one less game than the rest of the competition.
