Draft Expert PMBangers 2025 Draft Thread

[Johnny Bananas]

Think he possesses quite nice burst and kicking ability, has a nice work rate and could play multiple roles

(This is regarding Blake Oudshoorn-Bennier). I watched his highlight reels and it seems like he struggled to hit targets by foot. Is this the case or have I just drawn the wrong impression from selective footage?

Or perhaps I drew the wrong impression! I was never concerned watching him live fwiw

Yeah, I had drawn that conclusion just from footage against Vic Country and WA, and in SANFL reserves v Glenelg. Went and watched his SANFL U18s highlights and he seemed much better at it. And even in that Vic Country game he had some tidy kicks for marks inside 50. The answer I guess is to watch more footage.

All your 1st, 2nd & 3rd Tier players got taken. Great work

 

[blueiris]

Are any players you highly rated falling asking from a Lions prospective no more midfielders needed though

Pretty easy draft to manage that in tbf

Who do you think WCE should be looking at with 29 & 34?. TBH I'm finding it hard to get that excited about anyone except maybe BOB or Phillipou.

I think Phillipou or Greeves as the most likely mids left make sense given the CDT and Lindsay selections, unsure of what your list spots situation is but I'd be ensuring Williams gets on the list as well

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

I wonder if the Saints trade in to get Jevan Phillipou
Carlton's pick 28 maybe?

Using?

Future something, not sure if we wanna go there though

would probably be tough given the lack of f2 and the tas entrance in 29

How do you think the 2nd round will go?

 

[PMBangers]

How is Zeke Uwland at 6, and Phillipou so low. Lindsay at 16? Look where Greeves is, may as well just say he isn’t getting drafted. I don’t understand how you rank a player? Even Farrow above Taylor makes no sense.

They be letting anyone be called draft experts these days.

 

[weltschmerz]

you had that ready and waiting

 

[PMBangers]

What's the point of being right so often if i can't brag about it?

 

[weltschmerz]

You weren't too big on Hibbins-Hargreaves either yeah?

 

[Old Campaigner]

That’s what happens when he posts before Twomey’s phantom is released

 

[pileitinho]

Your ranks were close to spot on overall, PMBangers well done.

 

[Hazardinho]

I was right about Zeke Uwland being Low, he went pick 2 and not 6. You should have said Greeves will go undrafted like I pointed out and you’d of been correct.
You still had Phillipou low, didn’t you know he should have been pick 1. Josh Lindsay went where you ranked him so fair play, and Farrow was Matty Rosa 4d chess play, as he knew melborune weren’t selecting Sharp with 11 & 12.

So all in all, I probably deserved to get cooked for this and I just gotta hold the L. Fair play Mr PMBangers, until next year.

Well, it's good that you can take the L. A lot of people can't. Kudos for that.

Very true if the AFL site can do it with Twomey why can’t you?

At the end of day, we’ll just laugh about it and move on. I didn’t know PMBangers had this motion on big footy. Funny thing is I ended up advocating for Farrow after watching more footage and listening to Dylan Alexander and Jeppa assessment on how he was a midfielder that had to be moved into a half back role. It’s a shame I mentioned that part most in the message, I feel most bad about that part. The Phillipou part and him sliding isn’t footballing reasons imo, there’s definitely politics involved with that. I wish Sydney didn’t select him as I would have had the last laugh but whatever.

I can't seem to find the post but am I remembering correctly that Banfield was one you weren't super high on?

That is correct
