Academy, he has averaged 24.2 disposals overall in four matches this season, with his thirst for the contest and sound decision making both features of his game. A member of Essendon’s NGA, the Bombers will be able to match a bid on Taha from a rival club if his name is called out after pick 40 in this year’s national draft….from the code sports article.

Taha can be explosive, fast, agile and slippery, and every game I have watched of his I have liked. He is a perfect player to have in those link up and deliver positions of either, half forward or off the half back line and also locks down on his opponent. Currently in the CTL he averages 24 pos, 3 marks and 6.5 tackles.


Up next us Macca19

 

[Chris25]

If Moir is there at the crows pick, they'd be moving continental plates to pair him with Rankine and Rachele. Zero risk and despite his ability to be lazy, his skillset off both sides is better than anyone else in this draft and that is a weapon for a side on the up.

My guess is Moir is the player that BigFooty will find reasons to gradually drop down the rankings during the year. Saying yeah he’s talented, but…

And then come draft time it’ll become clear that clubs still rate him as the most purely talented player in the draft and he’ll be back well inside our top 10s.

Richmond select;​

Nathan Philactides - Def​

Height: 181cm
Weight: 78kg

To me, he screams Richmond player. He already plays the game style Dimma would love. He loves to run, attack, is a good ball user, will have a bounce and deliver the ball to a good option, tackles ferociously and often whilst he also has the two way running that can nullify his opponents output.
He can fight through or stand up in tackles generally keeping his hands free to dispose of the ball to a good option, he sums up those in tight contested plays very well and almost always picks out a team mate.
He is a player that can always find a way to be involved and most, if not all of the time, he can make something happen for his team. High footy IQ and knows where to be, good disposal and his link up play (staying involved in the chain getting the ball forward) is excellent and its what makes his style of play very damaging.

What is his position? Hbf or can he play midfield or wing?

Moir falling outside the top 5, let alone the top 10 seems bonkers to me

 

[Monocle]

Macca19 …. When ever your ready, your up with Ports pick .

Actual performance versus skill set and potential.

 

[Macca19]

Pick 45 - Port Adelaide

George Stevens - GWV Rebels - 189cm - Defender

There is a lot to like about George Stevens. Leadership in spades, classy skills by foot, is the half back general that lots of clubs seek, AFL body already, AFL Academy member, captained the Academy this year against Port Adelaide. Has had a good season with big numbers for GWV and strong performances for the academy. Can see him potentially slotting in straight away for Port Adelaide and could become a long term replacement for someone like Tom Jonas, with better skills and more attacking flair.

 

[Macca19]

eDPS you are up mate

 

[Smythe]

What is his position? Hbf or can he play midfield or wing?

His position, as the write up says is defender. But he is a player with upside on his flexibility to be able to play multiple positions.

 

[eDPS]

Pick 46 - Essendon - Charlton Harrop - 187cm - Forward
A dynamic forward with plenty of speed and unlike many forwards of his type he is willing to tackle and put his body on the line. My hope long term is he could become a Beau McCreery style of forward able to really compete hard but also hit the scoreboard himself and set others up.

Top 2 would seem bonkers to me.

The funny thing is, he hasn’t even been bad this year. He’s still kicking goals even though he hasn’t been at full fitness. And what TDS7 said about his Academy games is true, not everyone will adapt instantly to being thrown into a new team and setup.

It’s not a draft I’m particularly excited by at the moment, I don’t need to find reasons to knock one of the actually talented guys.

Because our great leader PMBangers cant update the thread regularly I passed on a player I thought was picked. Don’t like my chances of him slipping to the next pick but if anyone picks him they will hear about it from me

Come on mate priorities

 

[Futbolista]

I was looking back at posts from last year. I must give a tip of the hat to Smythe for being the first national draft list constructor on here to include Reuben.Ginbey in a draft list way back in June 2022.

I have 3 that I’m very surprised haven’t gone yet, but this happens every year. I would be very happy if they last till my next pick, but doubt it.

Come on mate priorities

Chief Listen to the people and give me a livable salary to run phantom drafts please

Pick 47 - Fremantle - Koen Sanchez - East Fremantle 178cm

forw/mid who has had some injury concerns the last couple of years, but is very talented, im curious to see him at the champs to see if he still has that fire in the belly to make it?, could turn out to be a bargain if he gets his body right and gets back to form.
