AFL mid-season draft 2025: Live updates, full order and every pick as it happens
There will be 18 potential picks in this year's mid-season draft, which is set to be shaped by Essendon and Port Adelaide.
The Power's call at pick three is expected to have a domino effect in the first round, with Carlton (pick four) linked with one of Port's potential targets — small forward Jacob Newton.
WAFL forward Archer May is a man in demand, having met with clubs including Collingwood and Essendon.
The Magpies don't have a selection until pick eight, but have suggested an 18-month contract demand to try and get their man.
The first pick is destined to be Richmond VFL halfback Tom McCarthy, who looks certain to head to West Coast and complete a remarkable rise from Division 2 local footy to the big time.
