Phantom Draft Bishop's 2017 Draft Thread

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Be very happy with that combo. Both bringing very good run and ball-winning ability to the table, with Brayshaw being the "quiet achiever", who just consistently gets the job done each week, and JS being the flashier one with more "wow" and "WTF!?" moments!
JS “bad kicking” looks to have been exaggerated a little judging by the all star game.

Exact type of player we need. If Dow/Cerra are available at 4 surely Stephenson gets through to us.

I don't like the way he puts it onto his boot. Looks awkward/unnatural and drops it from too high and a bit too double-handed, for my liking. Gilbee and Dicko will need to get cracking if we get him. Also double-grabs his marks a fair bit from what I've seen and heard and is of course very skinny, but other than all that I love what he brings to the table, in particular his speed and how he uses it to advantage.
 
Bishop just wondering if you’ve got any goss regarding who the Saints are interviewing/showing the most interest in at 7/8?

Also what is your prediction for 7/8?

I’m hoping for Brayshaw/Fogerty.

As someone else posted above those are the names. Haven't heard Fogarty.

Hey Bish, a couple of questions, firstly im hearing the tigs are seriously into Noah Balta, but I'd be suprised if he slipped that far would you be happy with that? Second do you think Brent Daniels will be available at 30? I'm starting to hope my blues go that way if he's availyable. Last what do you make of martini from S.A? Every time I watch him play his competitiveness and decision making jump off the field, don't think he's a top prospect, but seems like he'll develop into a nice small defender type.

1. Yes they're very keen on Balta. Think he's in their 17-25 pick range, they have 3 picks there so I can see them snapping him up.

2. Yes he should be there at 30. I'd take him in the 3rd round.

3. Alex Martini I'd take late/rookie, agree as a small defender - has some ok traits but not the worst player running around in the U18s. Has played some league footy too this year for Glenelg.

Hey Bishop, Was wondering where abouts you think eastern pair Ryley Stoddart and Trent Mynott your thoughts on them and if Stoddart would be a good pick up at our 23rd pick

I really like Stoddart - I think he'd be a good pick up at 23. Uses it really well, agile - will be an outside midfielder long term I feel. Mynott I reckon might fall in the middle of the draft. Played some good games this year, could clean up his kicking slightly, but I like his work on the inside.
 
Bish, your thoughts on Zac Bailey, Lachie Fogarty and Ryley Stoddart for Carlton's #30? Some testing information would be handy as well.
Cheers.

Like all three of them. Would take either in a heart beat. All 3 "could" and probably should be off the board by then though.

Testing data a mix of National Combine + preseason.

20m:
Stoddart - 3.024s
Bailey - 2.98s
Fogarty - 3.052s

Agility:
Stoddart - DNT
Bailey - 8.69s
Fogarty - 8.056s

Yo-Yo/Beep
Stoddart - DNT
Bailey - 20.6 (Equiv to 13.1 beep)
Fogarty - 13.1

Hi,

Do you have access to who the four Northern Academies: Swans, GWS, Bris, GC nominated for the draft? It would be interesting to know who they have indicated they want to possibly draft.

I really rate this phantom. Sam Taylor deserves a look at top 20 after his WAFL performances.

Oscar Allen at 13 is interesting but believable.

Pretty good & accurate I feel. Collingwood at 6 I reckon don't go Naughton - that will change everything.

18th November they have until I believe.

People in the know seem to be linking the Swans with Murphy. Seems like the Swans are very keen on him.

Extremely similar to mine that i put to paper last week. I guess me and The Pelican are on the same wavelength.

I had the same top 3 but in a different order. Then 4 to 11 in the exact same order. 12 to 20 very similar but slightly different too. Think WC will take Clark or Constable over Allen if available.

Yeah, I'm sure Chris Pelchen used your Phantom as his reference point.....:)
