Richmond select Samuel Grlj with pick No.8 in the 2025 National Draft.
Draft Profile: Grlj showed his top-end mix of speed and endurance at the Draft Combine to be one of the stars of the testing. After finishing second overall in the 2km time trial (5:59 minutes), 'The Sizzler' Grlj also blitzed in the 20-metre sprint, finishing in the top 10 with a time of 2.92 seconds. Some players test well but you don't see it in their game. That's not the case with Grlj, whose signature move is to dash and bolt through with the ball. The midfielder also got a taste of Richmond's VFL side late in the season and he has a point of difference to other midfielders in the pool.
