Mitch and Jonty recap a dramatic weekend of U18s action as Western Australia and South Australia collect wins. A number of familiar names were among the standouts in the opening weekend of the U16s carnival, while the start of our AFL club-by-club series gets underway.

Jonty and Mitch go through Craft of the Draft’s June Power Rankings, naming the top 25 prospects for the year so far. Following Sunday’s U18s National Championships opener between the Allies and South Australia, we name the standouts from the game and preview the squads for Vic Country, Vic Metro and Western Australia.

Collingwood Next Generation Academy prospect Zac McCarthy has generated plenty of interest early in 2025, with Craft of the Draft analysing him in its latest introducing video. McCarthy has franked an excellent pre-season with a strong start to 2025 which has him in first round calculations.
