Hey Chris, if Harry McKay, Kieran Collins and Ryan Burton all somehow managed to slip to our first pick, who do you think Freo would take?
Never forget. Never forgive.Let's not forget he polled a Brownlow vote...
Pick 38 Fremantle - Dylan Smith (198cm, 81kg tall forward/defender from Swan Districts)
There are other players I rate higher, but I wouldn't be allowed back on the Fremantle board if I went for another small.
Not sure I like the idea of us getting Greg Clark. From what I've heard, his ceiling might not be super high, but should be picked up based on his leadership skills. I can see him ending up more of a tall DeBoer than a Mundy/Fyfe in the midfield.I've had my 5 picks in the BigFooty Phantom Draft...
#26 - Greg Clark (194cm, 83kg midfielder from Subiaco)
#38 - Dylan Smith (198cm, 81kg defender/forward from Swan Districts)
#55 - Blake Hardwick (181cm, 78kg forward from Eastern Ranges)
#69 - Brandon White (188cm, 78kg defender/wing from Dandenong Stingrays)
#87 - Liam Hulett (194cm, 90kg forward from Dandenong Stingrays)
Most of the talls I liked were gone by my first pick, so I sort of went best available - I like Greg Clark as a developing midfielder, but he can also rotate through the forward line as sort of a lead up CHF. Bit like Tom Lamb from the Eagles. Otherwise, I'm putting all my eggs into the Blake Hardwick basket up forward. Just a small, but could play alongside Walters and Ballantyne and be good for 1 or 2 goals a game. He's a different type of small forward. Liam Hulett is a project forward, hampered by injuries so far. But is a classic full forward type, marks well and leads strongly.
Dylan Smith can play as a tall forward or defender, but I think might be best suited down back. Develop him either way though, while Brandon White was just a bargain I thought at 69. He's just a less flashy version of Hibberd or Bonner, who are both considered top 20 chances. He's stronger defensively too, while having good speed.
Otherwise, I did bid on tall defender Nick Coughlan and half back Lachlan Tiziani but was matched both times by GWS. Also, for those wondering Marcus Adams went at #60. Still have some rookie picks to go, and I've got some targets...

What are Clark's kicking skills like? He looks quite ordinary by foot on the highlights I've seen, and doesn't really seem that enticing. But I guess none of the likely prospects sound all that great once it gets to pick 26.
What is he like athletically? Particularly speed off the mark and running tank?For what's it worth, I tend to use the BigFooty drafts differently than others - I'm more about highlighting players who are slipping under the radar. Greg Clark, I feel is better than what BigFooty has him rated at. So I took him early and possibly overlooked some better players. Having said that, I don't think he has reached anywhere near his potential yet. I'm expecting a big improvement in terms of his inside contested game, to go along with his versatility on the outside. Hopefully the pick makes sense in 2-3 years time. I don't expect Fremantle to take him though.
As for his kicking, it's no worse than Fyfe's.
From the games I've seen of him, he's not super fast off the mark. Probably average for his size. As far as tank though I reckon he could run for days.What is he like athletically? Particularly speed off the mark and running tank?
I'm assuming we can post who we think we'll take with our first pick
I'm thinking
1st Pick: Ryan Burton
2nd Pick: Tom Cole
3rd Pick: Marcus Adams
or
1st Pick: Ryan Burton
2nd Pick: Blake Hardwick
3rd Pick: Kurt Mutimer
or
1st Pick: Riley Bonner
2nd Pick: Jesse Glass-McCasker
3rd Pick: Marcus Adams
would be my hopes

Yeah perfect size too, big frame, plug and play. I don't think he'll fall to us though, could go earlier than expected.Just watched the vid on collins - would give my left *** to have him still available at our pick. Him and Pearce holding up our defence for the next 10 years
