Player Watch Tom Doedee - Departed for Brisbane, End of 1st Round FA Compensation

[SES SA]

Well, if Tom reads this, he'll get a bit of a history lesson of the club ... I hope he likes history.

I really hope he never does.

I say bullshit, how can you guarantee anything, do you know these guys personally, get along and check our very own Skippos's You tube channel, easily the most comprehensive video footage available on draft candidates and certainly as good as what the AFL put out there.

That's just librarian work unless the judgement backs it up

What was his phantom like 2 months out

 

[Sanders]

You need to give them some Penfolds mate.

If he is doesn't like them shooting them would be more humane

 

[Chris25]

IMO it's not their opinions .....it's a reflection of rumors they hear ...and in the end most reflect fairly closely each other

I'd prefer they have their Phantom Drafts set in stone two weeks out .....then we know it's actually their skills in talent identification

Man, I wish I had sources! I've had the most inaccurate phantom draft for the last few years. 10% of my top 50 ranked players weren't even drafted. So does that make mine good?

It makes it an honest appraisal of your thoughts on potential draftees ......it may not be an accurate reflection of the actual outcome, but as you say you don't have the same access to sources

At least it's a better read, a different POV, to all those oh so similar that end up being clones of each other

Love Knightmares drafts as well .......but as i said i would prefer he keep his list his (minus sources) ......rather than change it constantly in the last 2 weeks, so it actually doesn't end up a reflection of his own thoughts

What i prefer is people such as you Chris and Knightmare's personal assessment of players ......leave the final phantom order to those with club sources

Well done during the year Chris .....great effort & a great resource

 

[Chris25]

Hopefully Doedee is just yet another player who makes me look stupid for overlooking him.

Never change Chris. I like your PD because it never pretends to be anything other than it is - one punters personal opinion. As readers we can choose to click and read or not.

 

[Redleg Crow]

BOOM.
Nail meet head.

If these mock draft guys are so good, why are they not earning double working as recruiters?

The list manager maybe, but scouts are not exactly the rich men of AFL footy...

 

[dylan123]

We were miles off it in 2012

People forget that we were lucky as **** to be there, and that Hawks team was struck down by gastro;

Whilst I think Hawthorn were clearly a better side then us (although not on the night), it's not as if we were lucky to make the prelim given we finished 2nd in the H&A season for memory.

 

[Redleg Crow]

exactly my point, thanks.

And you'd say only Terlich and Kommer (excl RAt) were who you could say were missed
(have taken out he passes and rookie upgrades)
3 64 Matthew Dick, Calder Cannons TAC Cup Sydney Free agency compensation pick via Hawthorn - Clinton Young
4 66 Kaiden Brand, West Adelaide SANFL Hawthorn Pick #66 traded from Greater Western Sydney
4 68 Dean Terlich, Norwood SANFL Melbourne
4 70 Michael Osborne, Hawthorn AFL Hawthorn Pick #70 traded from Sydney via Port Adelaide
4 73 Nicholas Kommer, East Perth WAFL Essendon
4 75 Lewis Pierce, Dandenong Stingrays TAC Cup St Kilda
4 77 Bradley Hartman, Sturt SANFL Geelong
4 81 Rory Atkins, Calder Cannons TAC Cup Adelaide
5 88 Sean Gregory, Calder Cannons TAC Cu

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Hopefully Doedee is just yet another player who makes me look stupid for overlooking him.

His sample size was small .....lets face it most would not have been studying his limited games, particularly as a close checking defender

But when you do study him ......gee he has some attributes ....looks like a clone of Peter Dean of Carlton fame

 

[Alex99]

I was kinda just being funny. you humorless git.

Footy is fun.

You bowled a half volley, I dispatched it to the fence.

Well, you could use one of these or even a or at worse to indicate you were being sarcastic.

 

[Alex99]

well im nothing special and I have over 900 friends and yeah I have met them all at least once.

You're awesome then. Well done to you.

 

[Tex200]

I think where a lot of PD's fall down is that it's almost impossible to predict list needs unless you are on the inside and have intimate knowledge of the player environment.

We can all look at vids or even see games and say yeah this kid looks good - but how and where does said kid fit in and to which club.

That's where it all becomes guesswork and speculation - and I'm as guilty as anyone of judging a kid by reference to BF PD posters.

Also, a good academic record is no guarantee of success in the work environment. Reminds me of how many stockbrokers in London recruit from east end market traders. Uneducated, rough, uncouth - put them in a suit and tie and they will cut your throat in a trade.

I see the Richmond folk are saying "our" boy Callum Moore has been told by the club he will likely be developed as a Defender/Backman.

Mmm......isn't kicking more critical thru zones as a defender , than as a forward shooting for goal ?

Put it on the boot and get it out of there.

 

[FR0GGY]

They don't get it right. They crib information until it's largely been leaked

Look at the difference between 4 weeks out & 1 day out

It's just recycled public knowledge. Where phantoms go wrong is that clubs have been tracking the players for 3 or 4 years, whereas they are just passing on what they hear in the TAC cup & championships and read online

What ever way you cut it there lists are pretty right, so obviously they herd nothing or there were no rumors or information about doedee being taken any higher than 32.

 

[Elite Crow]

Just saying

 

[SpeciousArgument]

Whilst I think Hawthorn were clearly a better side then us (although not on the night), it's not as if we were lucky to make the prelim given we finished 2nd in the H&A season for memory.

people been hearing 'easy draw' so long theyre starting to believe it

 

[mistylake]

We may have also been the first club in history to be stripped off a premiership. The horribly biased umpiring may have done us a favour.

Please explain?

 

[mistylake]

We were miles off it in 2012

But anything could have happened if we got there.

 

[Pdub]

Just saying

Sydney could have taken Dunkley from the bulldogs with a 20% discount and chose not to, a team that has trained with Dunkley on multiple occasions, hard to say he was worth pick 11.

 

[SpeciousArgument]

Just saying

Just saying what? we would have had to delist a player by either trading 17 for a pick and a player or 2 picks. It seems pretty obvious we went in hoping for someone to make it to us, they didnt, so we picked the next best on our list, not sure why you cant get on board with that.

 

[Mego Red]

I think this was the draft to have two picks in the early 20's instead of 13. The Bulldogs were smart - though I don't rate Dunkley.
