Phantom Draft Bishop's 2017 Draft Thread

[G-TRAIN07]

Will the (unfortunate) news that Sam Docherty has torn his ACL this morning change the way the Blue's draft next Friday?

Injury’s happen in sport. Nothing you can do about it

Hey Bish, nice work on your 26-50. Are you hearing about us being really into anyone in particular with our mid 30's and 40's picks?

Ballard is one such player I know that's been raised- but not too sure on others.

Is the next part of the phantom out?

Hi Bishop, You may have already answered this question, but why are you so low on Sam Taylor in your rankings? Also how do you compare the relative strengths/weaknesses of Taylor, Petty and Clavarino? Cats may look at a KPD at some stage in the draft. I'd be interested to know your thoughts. Cheers.

Thanks for your very intriguing insight! My question was more along the lines of whether they'll look at a more outside HBF type with one of their first picks (Coffield, Clark, perhaps Stoddart later on) now that Docherty won't play at all next season.

Hey Bish,

Would you say it's fairly likely Freo pick two of:
LDU, Dow, Brayshaw, Cerra, Rayner? We should be happy with any of these boys.

In your last draft you had us with Cerra and Brayshaw, are you still on that train of thought?

 

[SizeMatters]

Has Brayshaw been under rated all season or something? Seems only past week that he is now considered a top 3 pick... must say I never really noticed him in the games I've seen. I just don't understand why he has shot up to potential pick 1 territory. He's no McGrath that's for sure.

Clubs paying greater consideration to likelihood to request trade back to home state imo. Brayshaw looks like a solid citizen without risk of wanting to return to Vic.

I seriously doubt an injury to one of the 46 players they will list in 2018 should alter their drafting approach one little bit.

Could have been worse, they could have lost Vickery

There are 0 players you could reasonably recruit to fill an AA calibre player's role.

We have plenty of backmen. Draft will be the same

Hey Bish, hearing a rumour that if Rayner and LDU are gone carlton will take Cerra 3 ahead of Dow. Wondering if you've heard similar the last few days. As a carlton man I'm not to perturbed, as I think Rayner is the only real standout. Will be very disappointed if we take Brayshaw ahead of any of them though, very plain to my eye.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Hi Bishop, what are your thoughts on the rumour of Brisbane potentially selecting Brayshaw at #1?

 

[SumTingWong]

The suspense is killing me

I doubt it, SOS will continue to draft best available with very good /elite dispoal, Doc going down will have no bearing on early selections

Shouldn't. One non challenging year to cover for him. We'll survive.

 

[Bishop]

Have a few questions left unanswered, I'll get to those this afternoon.

Same with the Phantom Draft. Keep an eye out.

When is the Rayner run happening this morning? Will you be there?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Reading the phantom form guide it seems you're not alone in not knowing which direction the Dogs will go at 9, Bishop. Naughton seems the flavour of the month which is surprising to me, but outside of him there aren't a lot of players linked to us.

If Darcy Fogarty is still on the board at Pick 9 i reckon Braddy Johnson will be on the edge of his seat yelling at Dalrymple under his breath. He thinks Fogarty is the best in the draft, but i've heard nothing about the Doggies being interested at all.

Surely the man has a better life than to attend a 2km test for one footballer?

Someone on the Dogs board who has good connections mentioned that we like Darcy Forgarty a while back but hasn't been anything since then. I think we generally keep things pretty close to our chest around draft time so I wouldn't really be surprised if we took someone we haven't been linked to at all.

D Fog running as well!
