North Melbourne select Blake Thredgold with pick No.26 in the 2025 National Draft.
Draft Profile: Thredgold is a wiry tall defender who uses his reach, athleticism and competitiveness to shut down opponents and occasionally get his own ball and start forward forays. He enjoys the chance to take on and blanket the opposition's best tall forwards and can do it in a few different ways. His power was on show at the Combine when he finished in the top 10 for the vertical jump test and the 20-metre sprint (2.91 seconds).
