PODCAST EXPLAINER | 2021 AFLW Phantom Draft

In our Final Siren Podcast Explainer, we run through our 2021 AFL Women's Phantom Draft we completed yesterday.

Did a podcast full phantom recently, here's a quick recap of the Carlton selections made

CARLTON:

#10 Tess Craven (Geelong Falcons)
#11 Tahlia Gillard (Calder Cannons)
#23 Brooke Vickers (Oakleigh Chargers)
#26 Eliza James (Oakleigh Chargers)
#40 Maeve Chaplin (Northern Knights)

Michael Alvaro says …

“The Blues are currently in some serious need of midfield depth and with this crop of Victorian talents, obtain a great balance of styles. Through trading, Carlton is in a great spot among the Victorian pool with its first two picks and at number 11, Tess Craven was too hard to pass up. The Geelong Falcons standout is a tough ball winner at the coalface, but also works hard to accumulate around the ground and makes great decisions. She’s a no-fuss type, and suits Carlton’s robust midfield mix. With Tayla Harris and Al Downie gone, Tahlia Gillard is a key position option who may be in high demand and was snapped up early as a result. At 190cm, she is a dominant kind of ruck who can also roll forward and remain relevant aerially. The Blues quite often dip into the Metro pool and after the success of Mimi Hill, may look at a couple more Oakleigh Chargers products in Brooke Vickers and Eliza James. The former likes to get forward off a wing or half-back, while the latter is an athletic midfielder-forward who offers dynamism and goal threat in either post. Rounding out the crop, Carlton may look towards its Northern link and give Maeve Chaplin her chance, after she earned a VFLW berth in the Blues’ reserves this year. She’s another versatile type who offers inside depth in midfield, but also great composure in defence.”

Our preview of the draft:


Has been picked up by others, but Munro mentions we are going for best available talent, with a focus on backup ruck (ruck/fwd or fwd/ruck), mids (inside and outside), and forwards. So pretty much everything except defenders.

(Also I had a random dream last night we somehow landed Maddy’s little sister. She’ll most likely end up at the Cattery but still, was nice to dream!)

Annie Lee

For Those too lazy to click

Annie Lee has been a rock solid defender over the last couple of years and became a reliable source of rebound from the back 50 for the Geelong Falcons. Ticking a lot of boxes in her overall profile, Lee is good overhead, and at ground level and composed with ball-in-hand.

When assessing Annie Lee’s game, there are not many flaws to stop her from becoming a reliable AFLW player. Her role off half-back suits her to a tee, with her ball use, aerial ability and reading of the play, in particular her positioning, among her strengths. She knows how to control the line in defence, and can play high or deep, and is not afraid to run off, or settle down the back 50 with good composure. Whether she impacts the play with the ball or without it, Lee is one who always seems to have some influence on the game.
