Except for Bowey and Laurie who he targeted specifically for their kicking?

13. Caleb Windsor
Melbourne
Eastern Ranges, 184cm Midfielder
The mail is that Melbourne is just about set on selecting Windsor with its second selection here. The Eastern Ranges product is another player to have shot up draft boards in the second half of the season, even more so after a strong showing at the national draft combine. The wingman had a big under-18 national championships with Vic Metro and is seen as a player with real weapons with his speed, foot skills and decision making. He is a modern-day wingman who most clubs would love to have.

Not 100% sure. Phantoms this far out I tend to take with a bit of a grain of salt, as there's nearly always a late bolter or two that rockets up the board in the week before the draft, which mucks around all the other predictions.
It's becoming pretty clear that Leake and Windsor are high up in our preferences though.
Feel like we really wanted Duursma (even trained with us) but we just couldn't get high up enough up the draft order to get him, and probably feel Leake might be a similar type who can impact the game around the ground in a number of different ways: marking, kicking, decent athletically etc

The training thing doesn't matter, Jack Viney trained with hawthorn in the lead up to the draft

Definitely wouldn't have made it to 14.
Yeah but if you put a hard ball in between Braydon Maynard and Harley Reid, who would win?

Pick 36
I remember reading the 2010 phantom draft in the herald sun and then seeing the draft being well out of wack. I'm not sure why this sticks in my mind, I just think of Heppell being a big bolter was tipped to go to North at 17 but ended up at essendon at 6. Anyway I found this article from Jay Clark from around this time 2010, he had heppell at 5 (Brisbane) but his phantom draft is a bit off, might have been harder because all of the gold coast concessions. Had melbourne going for Ben Jacobs instead of Lucas cook (which was a big surprise) so yeah probably nothing to worry about.

I'm definitely getting the feeling we are getting leake.
I'm all for a tall with our 1st pick...
But our 2nd pick i would go for foot speed with skills... as long as the player has a nice step out of traffic. a Mid.
And no langdon or frita shirkers.

Yeah we definitely don't need another Fritsch. Who'd want a dude who can kick 6 goals in a GF and boot 40-50 goals a season when fit

And that season he played high level coming off a midseason where his courage and commitment was questioned.
He has shirked one effort in the goal-square where he had to contest the kick coming in, to stop that shot from being touched on the goal-line.
And many other poor efforts around the ground, where he had to put his body on the line to contest.
He can be really ordinary, when he doesn't try. doesn't push himself...
My god you're delusional about him.
In seasons 21-22, he kicked the second most goals of the entire league, behind Hawkins. Then he was injured a lot of last year
He has his faults but he's elite at what he does in an area where we're weakest.
If he was ultra physical he'd be the full package but he's not, he's just a very very quality player.

You can definitely carry a talented attacking type or two like Fritta. Let’s be honest he hasn’t laid a tackle in his life but he gets goals!
Probably can’t carry too many like him though.
My hope is that Bailey is super professional next year along with Joel Smith…

Really intriguing draft this one. Maybe it's because we have 2 picks in the first round. Pick 11 is a nice spot for a slider. Could be a Caddy. Hoping for Leake. Windsor is possible. Tholstrup we seem into. I'll be disappointed if we reach for Windsor at 6.
