    Freo the big losers here. Could be set up for the next decade but chose to cash in for a crack in the next 3 years instead😵‍💫

    Preview 2024 AFL Draft General Discussion

    Dominos. For the dogs specifically: ⭐You could go from getting Naughton to selecting from Lochie O'Brien, Aiden Bonar, Jarrod Brander, Matthew Ling. ⭐Imagine if Bontempelli didn't want to stay in vic so you were fored to bypass him. You can't take players from other states either for the same...

    You guys aren't that far off track- it's mostly the neglecting to take talls.😵

    😲Huge call. North drafting like fools for years means that they have to take bad options now. This is the year where recruiters will be earning their keep.

    Phantom Draft Dinnaz 2023 Draft Compendium

    I mean the Allies kind of fluked it this year with some absolute top vic talent mixed in with the best 5 players from three other states. Academies which now seem to be churning out top players, along with Tasmania coming good. Of course there will be years where one particular state...

    Of course there are a million other elements involved, and comparing statistics is always imprecise as everyone plays a unique type of footy anyway. It's more of a way to demonstrate/visualise the concepts involved. Personally I think rate of improvement is important, but also sketchy to...

    Phantom Draft Dinnaz 2023 Draft Compendium

    Time for some concepts At first view of the draft most regular supporters check who their team drafted with little insight as to why. This comes with the basic assumption that players are taken in consecutive order, best to worst with rookies all being long shots at best. After all everyone...

    Phantom Draft Dinnaz 2023 Draft Compendium

    Projecting player development When analysing draftees I think of what kind of trajectory they will have in the back of my mind. If you are picking them then you are automatically thinking optimistically. Will they improve through the roof and be a 10 year player at an elite level (example 1 from...

    Player development over a career: The majority of players follow a traditional trajectory of development which would include junior footy, U18's footy, state league, and finally AFL. The largest gains for development happen when young. Each year growing, becoming stronger & fitter, learning and...

    Yeah he's a gun too and I think the dogs got a good one there. Busslinger got on the end of everything that came in at colts level. Busslinger is better overhead and elite at reading the play. I have him as quite a bit better with his bodywork too. Plays like a true KPP like a McGovern/May type...

    Phantom Draft Dinnaz 2023 Draft Compendium

    Ill keep an eye out for him but he wasn't very noticeable having only played 3 colts games for a poor team this year. My singular note next to him is that he's good overhead😂 If he was to be a 1st round talent for 2024 i'd hope he would be one of the better players now and even pushing for a...

    I've said it before: He's a good player, but I just don't rate his overhead ability which is kind of the point in drafting a tall. He's a terrific kick which is why you'll want to use him offensively maybe as a 3rd tall or winger where he can float around free and rack it up. He's an absolute...

    ---August top 20--- Champs are done👍 and i've got a good handle on the top lot. As always ill flesh things out a little bit more as the year goes on. Finals are approaching and prospects are playing state league footy which is always a great thing to see. *I'll drop a phantom draft later, so as...

    Update: Data dump in the attached spreadsheet. Added a sh1tload of stats from the U18 state comps. Most comps have a month plus finals to go so i'll update it at the end of the year at some point. By the way SA sucks to find dirt on players😂. Optus could take a leaf out of their book.

    Been away for a little bit. However off the top of my head: Reid is great to watch but is a lot closer to the chasing pack than everyone would have you believe. I'm still very big on Connor O'Sullivan. Duursma is still a bit hit and miss, though he did spent a lot of time up forward in the...

    Phantom Draft Dinnaz 2023 Draft Compendium

    If there's one thing i'm beginning to see is that there's an ideal player and athlete for each position yet most guys won't fit into that exact mould. Kind of like how Lance Franklin is a great player but isn't a great contested mark overhead which is a skill you that you would traditionally...

    Phantom Draft Dinnaz 2023 Draft Compendium

    Smith can be a ruck for sure, just with likely losing hitouts has to be a really elite battler body on body a bit like Mumford, and then get around the ground better than the lumberers. Would want to kick a lot more goals in the WAFL colts if he's going to be a viable KPF though. Rudd as a 3rd...

    Phantom Draft Dinnaz 2023 Draft Compendium

    I try not to place too much value on one game and rather a full season of work. But it''s one of those boxes you can tick off as the closest thing to AFL level. I like Evan Smith too, and he was pretty good. I kept an eye on his fwd line work as at 198cm he's a little undersized for a ruck...

    Watching him early season in the colts he was super in marking contests but perhaps limited in that kind of deep fwd role. Definitely thought he might be a second round chance at that stage. Surprisingly he played a few league games for Subiaco which is a plus to see he can crack that level...

    U18 Champs U18 Champs - Western Australia v Vic Country (June 30, 6pm Perth time)

    I feel like both teams have only gotten started so far. Should be a cracker! Vic Country by 4 goals in a high scoring affair.

    Phantom Draft Dinnaz 2023 Draft Compendium

    I think overall a superdraft has quality and depth in every position, rather than just being stuffed full of superstars. Most people get hyped over the top end which is understandable especially if it's on display as a 17 yr old aka Harley Reid. Agreed, usually there's a bunch of midfielders...

    Having a chat on the WCE board about the strength of drafts year to year got me thinking. I ran some numbers on the amount of underage players for that year in the vic talent league. Both fixtures are pretty even Victoria 13 games, Allies 3-4 games in 2022 & Victoria 13 games, Allies 5 games in...

    ---June top 20--- The champs are always a good way to gauge prospects against each other but more importantly in my thinking, it's seeing players perform in a higher level of competition compared to their regular state leagues. My top 8 are a cut above and its quite a strong group with a lot...

    Having watched the first half of the champs the Allies have been an absolute powerhouse!! SA and WA in particular looked really sluggish to get up to tempo in their first games coming off that 12 month bye😉. SA really surprised in knocking off Vic Country. The Allies hit the ground running...
