List Mgmt. 2017 Draft Needs...

Would be interesting if we just had a "best available SA talent"

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Snoop Dog (Phantom Drafter)'s mail is that DFog is likely to get to us at #12.

But will we pick him if he's there is the big question.

We'd be mad not to imo

"I am pretty sure Darcy Fogarty will get to Crows."

Yes, but it’s not like any phantom drafter has any real mail or info.

Fun to read but you’d have to be crazy to think any of them actually know anything

I think it'd get interesting if Hunter Clark were still on the table as well, but otherwise I think we'd take him.

A top article taken from the Greater Dandenong Leader on the TAC System and more specifically the Dandenong Stingrays who will likely have 3 players taken in the 1st round, what I found very interesting was the number of support staff the TAC clubs are running with, must be some serious $'s being put into developing players for the AFL in Victoria. Well worth a read to compare with the SA System currently. Talent Manager Mark Wheeler has enormous raps on Aiden Bonar

There is a lot of talk around about Luke Davies-Uniacke (LDU) being a potential No 1 pick. He’s been given a lot advice along the way by many “experts’’. We’ve told LDU to try to filter it and listen to the key messages. He, along with many others in this draft pool, has had 15-plus coaches this year. He’s finished VCE at Haileybury, and will soon work through the transition of being a student and, in the calling of his name, an AFL player.

He is joined by his great mate in Hunter Clark, who has also been given the same balancing advice. The last of the musketeers, Aiden Bonar, holds a special spark for me.

There is no need to retell the story — journalists have been all over it in the past seven weeks — but if you look up the word persistence and belief you’ll see a smiling Aiden Bonar next to the definition.

His story with me goes back to when he was in his three-peat era for Seaford Junior Football Club. He dominated and won games off his own boot. He was destined for my program and things were tracking fine until he did an ACL in Bendigo as a 16-year-old.

My belief in Aiden was strong, so as a club we paid for him to attend the Under 16 Carnival in Queensland with me so he still felt part of the team. This would have been hard for him, but to me it showed his character.

The second tear was different, but Aiden grew in confidence and impressed me so much that as soon as I started talking with clubs in late January I said I have a potential top-10 player who will return in June.

I would always finish by saying, “When you interview our players ask them who is the hardest and best player you played with or against in the region — you should get the same answer.” Aiden Bonar.

You need a big team of specialists and the TAC Cup does this well. Twenty-plus coaches, a dozen or so recruiters, four to six for strength and conditioning, four physios, two doctors, 12 trainers and 20-odd support staff, along with as many placement students you can get your hands on to help you operate 42 weeks of the year.

"But we’re pretty quickly turning to the 2018 season, with 80-plus Under 18 players, 66 Under 18 TAC Cup Girls and 50 Under 16 boys to focus on. We’re determined to do the best for them, and to help them to reach whatever goals they’re chasing."

It must be comparable to SNAFL teams having 200+ people to deal with between League, Reserves, u18s, u16s, Womens

There are going to be a lot of 'surprises' or differences in draft to what phantoms predict IMO

Very in the eye of the beholder like any year but particularly this year

Phantoms are a grain of salt

draft him !!!!

 

[Bicks]

Bit of a set back but should be back running after Christmas....

Would be in the mix for pick 39 if available there too I'd suspect.

Hope he gets to us, I can see him becoming very solid

Was great in the Champs

 

[Wouldbetackler]

Is twomey meant to be doing his phantom draft tonight?

 

[rezagun]

Imagine the melts if fogarty is available at 12 and we pick a kid from vic

[Elite Crow]

What annoys me is Ogilvies focus on “great” people.

I’m sure Danger and Lever were classified as great people.

Will be up any time now, he just tweeted.

 

[Wouldbetackler]

Got us taking Bonar at 12

 

[Danger in Texas]

Also has us potentially interested in Wooller, McPherson, Petty and Garner

I'll be surprised if we take Wooller, he's one that is absolutely a flight risk IMO, I'd be happy enough with the others.

 

[Bicks]

Ogilvie said today they would take Fogarty should he slip through, however he's not expecting him to be available at that point so you could almost take that to the bank with the intel he'd have at his disposal.

 

[BunjiMac]

Got us taking Bonar at 12

Id be seriously ecstatic if that were to play out

 

[BunjiMac]

Got us taking Bonar at 12

Cos he does his Phantom fairly late, he's usually pretty close with his selections.

I remember him getting most of the top 10 right last year.

Garner's an interesting one, would be very happy with him. His endurance needs to develop, but we can easily do that, has a great combination of great foot skills and toughness
