Surely Jamarra is done for the year, so we could get a spot for him. Would really like a speedy goalkicker added to the list, as we’re very reliant on West now. A Darcy Fort like backup would be handy too, though I’m not sure if there are any. Sellwood does sound good. I hope we nail this selection or 2 and I’ve got faith we will after our last draft -

Mid Season draft coming up on Wednesday 26th.
How is the draft order decided? - from AFL.com.au
Like the National Draft, the Mid-Season Draft order is determined by reverse ladder position. The team at the bottom of the ladder after round 11 (assuming it has a list vacancy) gets the No.1 pick, with the second-last team to have the No.2 pick, and so on.
The complication this season is the fact Essendon and Gold Coast have played one game less than the rest of the competition due to their Opening Round game being postponed. A winning percentage ladder will therefore determine the draft order, with clubs on the same winning percentage to be separated by their regular for and against percentage.
The final draft order will be determined on Tuesday.

Anyone know much about Zac?West Coast has also been linked to 21-year-old defender Michael Sellwood, who’s performed well for Peel Thunder this season averaging 23.7 disposals and 7.5 marks from six WAFL games while racking up 19 disposals and eight marks in the WA-SA state game last weekend. Sellwood confirmed to SEN WA this week he’d had a medical with the Western Bulldogs, who rival clubs believe could be eyeing a running defender at next week’s draft with their natural open spot after opting against filling their list during the pre-season supplemental selection period (SSP).
However the Bulldogs have also been linked to two small forwards: Werribee star Zac Banch (175cm) — who’s kicked 8.8 and averaged 16.2 disposals from his past five VFL games — and 182cm North Adelaide goalkicker Ewan Mackinlay — who’s impressed clubs with his speed and power, as well as his kicking skills in the front half. Mackinlay, who’s kicked 5.7 and averaged 16.2 disposals from six SANFL games, also has interest from Port Adelaide, who rival clubs believe are on the hunt for a player speed in the forward half next week.Leave a comment:

Mackinlay sounds interesting I like a bit of speed and could take McNeil's spot (sorry Grantysghost) in the forward half. Sellwood sounds like a slightly better Cleary.Leave a comment:

Talked to a mate in WA who gets to a couple of WAFL games each week. He loves watching footy live.
He rates Sellwood and compared him to a back line version of Jai Newcombe. His only doubt on him was if he was quick enough.
His marking in 1 v 1 contests was well above average and he is a neat kick albeit not overly attacking with his foot skills.
It will be interesting to see how serious we might be with him.

Along with Michael Sellwood the club has also been linked with Ewan Mackinlay from the SANFL
Ewan Mackinlay is turning heads with his explosive mix of speed and power, drawing comparisons to Bailey Humphrey.
AFL clubs are rumoured to be closely watching the high-impact player, who is averaging 16 disposals, four inside 50s, three tackles, and two scoring shots per game.
Mackinlay's ball use inside 50 is his major weapon, and his selection in the SANFL state squad should have him on the radar.
The 21-year-old could be an ideal mid-season acquisition given his scope.

Port Adelaide still needs to officially open up a list spot, but is being tipped to put Xavier Walsh on the long-term injury list after he was ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury. The Bulldogs, too, could open up another spot due to Cody Weightman’s injury, but coach Luke Beveridge was hesitant this week to confirm that was his club’s plan.

Found this little write-up on him:
Peel Thunder WAFL
Age: 21, Height: 186cm, Position: Defender
Sellwood was on the radar of AFL clubs ahead of the 2024 mid-season draft but it was his Peel Thunder teammate Jacob Blight who heard his name called by Richmond. The defender has had an even better start to the season in 2025, averaging 23.7 disposals, 9.7 intercepts, 7.5 marks, 5.8 rebound 50s, 3.8 marks and 121 SuperCoach points per game. Sellwood is competitive defensively, courageous in the air, and can turn defence into attack with his intercept game and precise kicking. The 21-year-old put forward his case to recruiters for the WA state team, collecting 19 disposals and eight marks – including a strong grab back with the flight in the second term. “Sellwood stands out as I’ve seen him week in, week out and know what he’s capable of,” Peel Thunder coach Adam Read said. “He’s still only 21.”

Does anyone think we will pass on making a selection of two at the mid-season draft?
We've tended to only promote players from Footscray except for Rypstra
I'd prefer we look at bringing in 2 players but I doubt we will. Maybe the new recruiter has his eye on some players.
