Draft Watcher Knightmare's 2014 Phantom Draft

[borderbarry]

I have just been reading about Paul Ahearn. Sounds like a likely prospect. Have you considered him Knighty? And is it known whether he is indigenous or not?

Ahern is rising up draft boards in a hurry and will be much higher next update. His form in recent weeks playing more of an inside role has taken me by surprise. Didn't know it was something he could do some his development over the second half of the season will be interesting to watch.

To confirm Ahern is indigenous.

If you're interested in some other Victorian indigenous talents Nathan Drummond and Aaron Christensen as overagers I feel also are worth a shot for a club later in the draft.

Hey Knightmare, the Inside Footy mock draft has Essendon taking Keitel. Is he your quick, hard leading type CHF or your more contested marking type key forward?

More constested marking styled, but he can play both to be honest. Can play both forward and back.

I'm hoping the Blues take a very close look at Tyler Keitel. Currently listed as 194cm and potential a very good KP prospect potential, from what I've read.
Can any one describe his kicking action? Also athleticism especially endurance and mobility?
Thanks

He's an all rounder. Strong contested grab, good on the lead, good at ground level. Stronger body than he was last year and looking good. Essendon would love him but the more I see him the more I think he'll go somewhere around pick 10. If I'm wrong a club late first round could really do well picking the guy.

Keitel moves well. Athletically his greatest strength seems to be his agility. He takes quick small steps and has a really natural balance. But he's not slow either and can generate some separation on the lead. Endurance probably average without seeing his testing.

Goalkicking conversion good. 39 goals 13 behinds last year. 14 goals and 4 behinds so far this year in the WAFL colts so you can back him in, in front of goal.

He is also a jumper as well attacks the footy hard on the lead and jumps at it, exciting to watch.

Why you Changed your Mind that Moore is not a A-Prospect?

Why you Changed your Mind that Moore is not a A-Prospect?

I'll have him in and out of that very top group but he's clearly behind Wright, McCartin, Durdin and Goddard. He may also be behind Keitel and Marchbank who are both also outperforming Moore as talls.

Moore from now until the end of the season will remain somewhere in the 7-17 range in my power rankings and rotate around within that range as others perform or drop away.

But will Moore be an A-grader? It's possible but he looks more like a no.2 option up forward.

Well going by Emma Quyale Moore beat Goodard very well.

Hey all New Recurts are no Gunrantee’s to be A-Graders.

Moore has Elite Contested Mark and has Great Leadership.

So If you have him as low as 17. Then you think Pies be making a Mistake on Committing to Moore?

Moore hasn't been committed to just yet.

He will be given till the end of the season and will be assessed then in relation to the rest of the talent pool.

He'll still probably join Collingwood but he'll need to be assessed as the guy best available at our selection if we are to match on the first round bid of other clubs.

 

[bananatigz]

Petracca rising in your thoughts with his recent midfield performances?

 

[Dav1d]

Were you at the game eating a pastry, writing notes and viewing the game with orange binoculars?

I was sitting over near Callum Twoomey

I didn't even notice Goddard was out there to be honest, that is how little of an impact he had

 

[Knightmare]

Petracca rising in your thoughts with his recent midfield performances?

Petracca rising. De Goey rising. As is Johansen and a number of others.

Goddard falling slightly.

I won't be updating my power rankings weekly. My next major update likely will be post u18 champs and should get a substantial update in then as I find more time.

So you still think there is a Chance that Hine will say “Thanks but No Thanks” and we will head in to the Off-Season with a 1st Round Pick will be Live.

We have not Offically Committed too more but What I been hearing we might of said something to Moore like we would take him

It happened with James Stewart.

Still 90/10 we take Moore but he in my mind anyway has to earn it which he's still in the process of doing.

Moore is way Better then Stewart in what I saw to of them. Stewart is/was all Potential but Moore did well in his 2nd game and been named in the best quite a Few Times at TAC Cup Level for Oakliegh

I would agree with that and Moore is doing Moore which is the expectation but both are potential over performance guys which always has some level of risk associated with it.

In Moore's favour is that the club don't have any key forwards under the age of 25 (unless you count Marsh, Gault or our ruckmen) so it is a need whether it's Moore or someone else to fulfil.

Well having no good young Key Forwards does make the Descion of taking Moore Easily.

We should make the Finals so the Lowest Pick we would get is Pick 10 and You would happily hand that over for Moore

To be honest, I doubt a team with a top 10 pick will bid on Moore.

You'll get him 2nd round.

Why you say that?

I have heard from Plenty of Sources that he is Easily a Top 10 Pick

How did josh Clayton go for vic on the weekend. Also wondering how Tyler Roos is tracking?

De Goey has the potential to go top 20 IMO,

 

[PumpyChowdown]

Knightmare, you have Carlton taking Liam Duggan who you class as a back flanker. Given that is the one position we seem to have a glut of, what is your rationale behind your decision? If not Duggan, and we end up with pick 5 or 6, who would be your next choice?

Clayton played well and it was probably his best game for the season.

Roos playing ok at TAC Cup level.

Clayton the slightly better of the two and may be a chance late draft but neither are certainties.

De Goey has the potential to go top 20 IMO,

I would agree.

I'll be doing a major reshuffle next update but Duggan while he can play back flank has mostly played midfield this year.

I expect Carlton to go tall - if one of Wright, McCartin, Durdin or Goddard are available they're the most likely to be picked. Brayshaw is another as a tall, big bodied midfielder who should be high on Carlton's list. I wouldn't be discounting Tyler Keitel either who I expect to go somewhere closer to Carlton's first selection.
