Melbourne select Thomas Matthews with pick No.30 in the 2025 National Draft.

Draft Profile: A small forward, Matthews showed enormous potential in his bottom aged year, kicking 18 goals in 13 matches. He was selected as a Victoria Country squad member early in the year and seized the moment to kick the winning goal on the final siren to help Victoria Country to victory over the Young Guns in April. Unfortunately played little footy for the remainder of the year after suffering a PCL injury.
