Every pick: 2025 AFL Rookie and Pre-Season Drafts

The AFL Rookie and Pre-Season Drafts for this year took place on Friday afternoon.

The Pre-Season Draft saw Callum Ah Chee join Adelaide as the only selection, with the two-time premiership Lion finally joining the Crows after the clubs couldn't come to a deal during the trade period.

In the Rookie Draft, a total of 15 players were added by clubs – with many delisted players relisted by their current clubs following on from the 60 picks made in the National Draft across both Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Eight players were also pre-listed as Category A and B rookies at clubs via Academies and the Father-son rule.

Category A additions

Jai Saxena (Collingwood)
Kalani White (Melbourne)

Category B additions

Toby Whan (Fremantle)
Ryda Luke (Fremantle)
Jesse Mellor (Geelong)
Riley Hamilton (GWS)
Noah Chamberlain (Sydney)
Liam Hetherton (Sydney)

Eight players out of the 24 read out joined AFL lists for the first time.
