Each year, the AFL draft reminds us that value is rarely distributed in neat, predictable order. On the second night of the 2025 draft, several young men who were expected to be claimed on night one find themselves still waiting — a delay that is less a slight than an opportunity, both for the players and for the clubs shrewd enough to recognise what the board still holds. History has long taught that the second round is where patience is rewarded and foresight is proven.
