Would do my first backflip if we get Clark

Have posted my first round phantom in post #2, planning to release the next rounds by the end of the week

How do Geelong end up with the Tigers #17? #20 After A/FS
Assuming a mistake

Yeah typo on my behalf

2nd round now also released

Can't see Richmond selecting, curtis Taylor with our first pick
Especially with xavier ohalloran and ely smith available
We need mids that can play inside , more than we need another forward

Pretty much my thought with the Lions, when I saw McHenry’s name.

I know we’re adding a serious number of Mc’s to our list, but it’s not like we’re going to deliberately try and draft them in.

Unless they’re an academy kid of course.

Regarding your selections for Fremantle, I am a bit surprised you haven't hit up a midfielder yet. I realise Hill can play midfield, but there is no doubt Neale is going to take some replacing, yet so far it doesn't seem to be something that you think needs to be addressed? Foley or Sparrow may perhaps be more productive for us?

I assumed Cerra would move into the midfield more permantly, thus the Greaves pick to add depth the the backline

I don't mind Greaves but medium/small defenders would be our last priority. So he'd need to be best available to warrant it at our 2nd.

We definitely need midfield depth. We have none.

My thinking was with McFayden in the academy and the liklihood of players like Bytel, Smith, Foley, Sparrow, etc. Being available at your second pick that the Lions could afford to go for someone like McHenry with that first pick, who doesnt neccessarily fill a list need but projects to be good enough to warrant the selection

Much like Brisbane with the plethora of mids in the range of your second pick I thought the tigers could afford to go with a 'luxury' pick with their first

All the good mids will be gone by our second pick,,,
I like the way your think , good effort well done

There's a decent amount of midfield depth in this years draft, and the more 'plain' mids like Ely Smith or Jack Bytel for example, who aren't fancy but they get the simple stuff done and they get it done well, are falling because they don't have a standout Point of Difference. Much like Jack Graham in 2016 and Jack Higgins in 2017, both players that are better than where they got selected because they either, in Graham's case, were seen as vanilla or basic, or, in Higgins case was perceived to have little development left in him.

FWIW Turner is a gun and will likely be able to have immediate impact if Richmond do really take him

I don't know if you've ever seen Jack Ross play but he's another very decent midfield prospect that rarely gets a mention....I'll be very surprised if goes through undrafted.

In my full phantom (past the 4th round) I have him going in the 5th round to Essendon.

Hey Bangers interested to know how the TAC premiers have gone in your Phantom draft?

 

[Bicks]

I'll be very surprised if he lasts that long given his form late in the TAC season for the Oakleigh Chargers, his strong form for Caulfield Grammar in the APS system plus his standout game in the APS vs AGSV game later in the season. Big bodied inside mid, clearance specialist with reasonably good speed and acceleration

 

[PMBangers]

I've got 8 Dandenong boys going in my first four rounds as it stands

Probably right, he's one I think is pretty good and wouldn't be surprised to see him in the top 40/50, but as it stands I have a few names they do similar things ahead of him

And I forgot to mention a very penetrating kick.

 

[Sandy Day]

Any after round 4?

None after round 4 in the national. I haven't done a rookie draft but I can see the Cumming twins and Campbell Hustwaite possibly being rookied

Thanks for the reply,, will check out turner,, good luck next year

 

[PMBangers]

Fourth round uploaded and another year of phantoming done. A few to watch for that didn't go in my first 4 rounds that I think can make a good impact at AFL level if picked up;
Matthew Green (NT)
Caleb Graham (QLD)
Marty Hore (VFL)

Thanks all for reading my board

 

[St Neil]

I think Saints take Rankine if he is there at pick 4. We love King but Rankine is too good to overlook.

All the talk from Saints and Sandy is that King will be the selection at 4, of course this could all change but for now I'd be putting my money on them taking King
