    • Pick 56 - Ryan Eyres
  • Index
    • Pick 56 - Port Adelaide

    Ryan Eyers - Murray Bushrangers

    198cm - 85kg - Key Defender

    Port is in need for some key defensive cover with Mckenzie and Jonas reaching retirement age, Skinner getting delisted leaving the club wafer thin down back. Eyers fits the bill as an athletic key defender with genuine height who has really come of age this year.

    Having missed out getting drafted in 2021 where he plied his trade further up the field, he was sent to the backline in 2022 and really made a key defensive post his own. He showed he could defend strongly whilst also noting the ability to read the play and intercept well too. 15 disposals and over 7 marks a game for Murray was a strong improvement to his output, whilst he showed the ability to make smart decisions with the ball coming out of the defensive 50. Was rewarded with games at the Champs for the Allies, as well as winning the BnF for Murray in the NAB League.

    Whilst he will need to spend ample time in the gym, his blend of talent and athleticism is something Port needs going forward.

    • Is Drury suddenly on the nose? Thought he was a projected top 40. I liked what I saw of him despite not having standout athletic qualities.
    I reckon there is a club getting a Dylan Moore/Charlie Spargo style bargain if he plummets on the night.

    Pick 57 - Jack O'Sullivan
  • Index
    • Pick 57 - Essendon - Jack O’Sullivan
    177cm - Midfielder/Forward

    Honestly just picked him because he completes a nice Oakleigh package 😂 Another smaller midfielder isn’t what Essendon particularly need but O’Sullivan has value here playing some good games forward early in the year and he is a willing defensive player and without a few injury concerns he would likely be in that top 30 mix. O’Sullivan has great athletic traits which makes him a good value prospect despite his size.

    Players considered: Harvey Gallagher/Jaxon Binns/Max Pescud/Luke Teal
    Smythe

    Binns, Drury, Verrell, Teal, Long, Gilbee & Broadbent probably the stiffest so far!
     
    Pick 59 - Harvey Gallagher
  • Index
    • Richmond - Harvey Gallagher - 179cm 78kg - Def
    1666753120769.jpeg

    A defender who, like Daniel Rioli, can score.
    Averaging 24 disp, 4 marks, 2 tk and 1.3 goals per game from defence.

    Intercepts the ball then moves it on getting involved with the chain of play untill the ball has been delivered to a fwd or gone through for a score. He is a damaging defensive player and that is a plus. Will need to work more on his contested game but his efficiency with the ball and decision making is high end.
    So many came into consideration at this late pick but I’m happy with Harvey still being available.

    I believe Chris25 is up

    I was going to take him with the last pick but liked the theme of picking all Oakleigh players for Essendon lol
     
    Pick 60 - Lachlan Scannell
  • Index
    • #60 Geelong - Lachlan Scannell (186cm, 76kg from SA)

    It wouldn’t be a BigFooty Phantom without me taking a South Australian - although I was very tempted to head up to the NT and take Lloyd Johnston. Instead I’ll go with a bit of a forgotten name in Lachlan Scannell.

    Was up there with the best of the SA prospects a couple of years ago playing alongside most of the guys already taken. He hasn’t quite hit the heights of his form from back then, but has been largely hampered by injury - including missing nearly all of the 2022 season. But he still received a state combine invite, so not everyone has forgotten his U17s performances.

    And at the SA combine, he absolutely smashed the time trial and showed himself as arguably the best pure runner on offer. So at this point in the draft, it’s about AFL level attributes. And he ticks a big box for the wing position. He’s not just a track athlete though, he’s actually showed a decent level of toughness for someone who plays an outside role. He uses his height well too, has neat disposal and I think he could play off either flank. I think he’ll come into the rookie draft mix, similar prospect to Karl Worner who Fremantle picked up last year.

    I do have higher ranked small forwards like Blake Drury and Archie Lovelock for example, Harry Cole as a medium forward too. But I went for a more pure midfield option, and the SA factor just got him over the line ahead of Jaxon Binns and Taj Campbell-Farrell.

    ModernArtillery again I think

    • Pick 61 - Will Verrell
  • Index
    • Pick 61 - Adelaide
    Will Verrall
    Ruckman
    South Adelaide/South Australia

    Justification
    The Crows have a few ruck options on their list but none really have the scope to dominate the ruck contest in the way that Verrall does. Adding some athleticism and follow-up capability in the ruck department by the way of a local product felt like a good option this deep in the draft.

    + I want to see Thilthorpe forward long term. I think that's where he maximises his value as a pick 2.

    Profile
    Verrall is an athletic ruckman who has genuine follow-up ability. His leap allows him to get first hands to the ball and his ability to win the ground ball makes him a real attacking threat, particularly at centre bounce. He's physical in the contest too, where his tackling adds a defensive element to his game. He's surprisingly capable by foot and his contested marking has come along too. His forward craft needs some work, as does his tank, but there's enough there to suggest that with a few years of development he could be a number 1 ruck at AFL level.

    Others considered
    Harry Cole

    Davo-27

    • Pick 64 - Jaxon Binns
  • Index
    • Fremantle Pick 64. Jaxon Binns (Outside Midfielder/Vic Country) (182cm, 73kg)

    Binns probably shouldn't have dropped this low, and could go as high as top 30 on draft night. Binns is one of the best outside runners in this years draft and has used his endurance and running ability to great effect in 2022 to prove his talents to recruiters and amateur draft watchers alike. Binns is one I've been back and forth on throughout the year, initially his kicking was a put-off, similar to Ed Langdon in his Fremantle days, he has a tendency to kick poorly not being a precision kicker. But his sheer weight of numbers and his ability to get on the scoreboard show that there is a lot of upside in Binns, especially if he can improve his kicking in the long run.

    But why Jaxon Binns for Fremantle? The pursuit of Jeremy Sharp in this year's Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period (Has anyone here considered installing a Rheem btw?) shows that the club know there is room for more outside talent in the clubs list, especially with the loss of Blake Acres in the trade period. He'll be able to develop alongside Karl Worner at Peel Thunder, and he should have a spot on the opposite wing of the teamsheet. He is also too good of a talent to pass at Pick 64, I suspect in the real draft we'd be lucky to have anyone of his level here. Binns wasn't the best available in my rankings, Steely Green was, but he's very similar to Jed Hagan, so I decided to go with Binns instead

    Also Considered: Jason Gillbee, Harry Cole, Toby McMullin, Hudson O'Keefe

    eDPS is next

    • Pick 65 - Jayden Davey

    • Pick 65 - Essendon - Jayden Davey
    181cm - Small Forward

    If he didn’t do his ACL i project Jayden would have slotted in along side his brother in the 10-20 range of the draft. His acceleration is right up there with the likes of Saad and Hind able to get separation in a flash so despite playing mostly forward he could potentially also become a rebound defender. Hopefully the ACL doesn’t effect his speed as it’s his standout trait but even without it he is a clean and smart player who knows where the goals are and how to crumb.

    Essendon pass remaining selections

    I'm hoping the Hawks find a way to rookie list him, I know we don't need any more HBFs but he has so much untapped talent and I really like his athleticism and game sense.

    Why are all my favorite draft prospects half-backs?

    Pick 66 - Ethan Phillips
  • Index
    • Pick 66 - Western Bulldogs - Ethan Phillips
    198cm, 91kg
    Port Melbourne
    Key Defender

    Previous known as a lockdown defender, Phillips really stepped up his game to a new level this year and has become a highly regarded intercept defender winning the Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal in the VFL. He averaged 19.6 disposals and 9.8 marks including 11.5 intercept possessions and 5.1 intercept marks. In one game, against the Northern Bullants, he pulled down 24 intercept possessions and 12 intercept marks.

    Phillips is a genuine key defender and a mature body at 23 years old. He's been playing against AFL players for 4 years. He can lockdown on an opponent and this year he's shown he's a very good intercept player. He's a very strong mark, with a decent leap and reads the play exceptionally well. He's also a pretty reliable user with a booming kick and he's quite good in a one on one contest.

    Speed. Against the really mobile talls he may struggle.

    The dogs do need some intercept defenders and Phillips is proven one at state league level. At the very worst, Phillips is a good depth option with Keath and the new recruit Jones a fair age, and with depth options in Cordy and Schache leaving.

    Toby McMullin, Noah Long, Tom McCullum, Max Knobel

    • Fairly decent picks for the Saints:
    A future tall forward line of Gruzewski, King & Lemmey looks very enticing.
    But do, prefer Hewett or Phillipou over Humphries.
    With Busslinger & Hayes gone earlier, Van Es would be a good later pick up for us & a definite need.
     
    Pick 69 - Noah Long
  • Index
    • Fremantle - Pick 69. Noah Long (Midfielder/Vic Country) (178cm, 74kg)

    I couldn't let him slide any further, even if he's not actually a need. Noah Long has all the traits of a great inside mid. He has clean hands, great stoppage work and a nice burst of acceleration that could see him become a very good midfielder at AFL level. His ability to impact the scoreboard has been a major improvement this year, he joins Hagan and Binns in being players who can impact the scoreboard and play in the midfield.

    Obviously Freo fans won't be happy I've picked two smaller mids, but in reality I think Freo take 3 picks in the ND and 1 pick in the rookie draft, so think of this pick as a nice extra bonus. I do think there's a role for him in Freo, his forward ability that he's built on over the past 12 months could see him playing a role there with some midfield minutes, but you wouldn't be expecting a Pick 69 to play AFL football in a team that just made the semi-final

    For others I considered, Hudson O'Keefe was next in line for a brilliant talent and filling a need. Harry Cole as a half-forward is a great goal kicking option, Steely Green is another player similar to Long and Hagan but with less upside. For some other experimental picks (who I thought I'd be picking at these late picks) there's Jasper Scaife from our academy as a tall forward, Bailey Maxwell who has some exciting upside as a ruck but one I can see not getting drafted, Kaleb Smith could become an absolute weapon off of half back or the wing and Toby McMullin is a great small forward who I also considered closely. Finn Emile-Brennan is another favourite of mine but would have required a bid

    I also have Luke Teal, but he REALLY doesn't fit a need for Freo so I chose against him

    Macca19 is up next
