WOOF Phantom Drafts

Re: WOOF Phantom Drafts

My favourite part of Sam Landsberger's mock was Gold Coast's first pick - I can't remember the players name and can't get back through the firewall, but it was something like
"a lightly framed outside midfielder, who most regard as a much later selection, but is favoured by Scott Clayton in what could be his last draft with the Suns".

It doesn't get any more Scott Clayton than a flyer on a lightly framed outside player in the first round.

It was Charlie Ballard who ironically Cal Twomey see's as an outside chance for our pick 16.

This is the quote I was referring to
"19. GOLD COAST SUNS: WILL POWELL (Claremont)

185cm midfielder

This would be a huge shock given most rate the lightly-framed outside midfielder a very late pick. But some suggestions Powell could fall in this range.

THE TWIST: Tricky draft for Scott Clayton, and probably his last at the Suns, entering at No.19 after trading pick two for Lachie Weller."

Thanks, I must have read something else that made a similar comment about Ballard at pick 19.

Re: WOOF Phantom Drafts

The whole meeja of the are probably scouring the height/weight ratios of prospective draftees trying to find a Clayton smokey no one else has spotted ATM. It must be so hard to find story ideas now that trade period is over and they can't lift them holus bolus from WOOF they have just taken to stealing them from each other.

Twomey's Late Mail Phantom Draft -

Pick 1 – Brisbane Lions – Cameron Rayner
Pick 2 – Fremantle – Adam Cerra
Pick 3 – Carlton – Paddy Dow
Pick 4 – North Melbourne – Luke Davies-Uniacke
Pick 5 – Fremantle – Andrew Brayshaw
Pick 6 – Collingwood – Darcy Fogarty
Pick 7 – St Kilda – Hunter Clark
Pick 8 – St Kilda – Nick Coffield
Pick 9 – Western Bulldogs – Aaron Naughton (still according to CT)
Pick 10 – Carlton – Lochie O'Brien
Pick 11 – Greater Western Sydney – Aiden Bonar
Pick 12 – Adelaide – Ed Richards
Pick 13 – West Coast – Jaidyn Stephenson
Pick 14 – Sydney – Oscar Allen
Pick 15 – Brisbane Lions – Lachie Fogarty
Pick 16 – Western Bulldogs – Jack Higgins (was Nathan Murphy last night)
Pick 17 – Richmond – Nathan Murphy
Pick 18 – Brisbane Lions – Zac Bailey
Pick 19 – Gold Coast – Charlie Ballard
Pick 20 – Richmond – Jarrod Brander
Pick 21 – West Coast – Ryley Stoddart
Pick 22 – Geelong – Sam Taylor
Pick 23 – North Melbourne – Tom McCartin
Pick 24 – Geelong – Brent Daniels
Pick 25 – Richmond – Sam Hayes
Pick 26 – West Coast – Callum Coleman-Jones
Pick 27 – Richmond (matching GWS bid) – Patrick Naish
Pick 28 – Greater Western Sydney – Harrison Petty
Pick 29 – Greater Western Sydney – Jack Petruccelle
Pick 30 – Melbourne – Matt Ling

After years of dodgy trade/drafting, Richmond have really landed on their feet to have (effectively) 4 picks in the top 30 as reigning premiers. If this draft is anywhere near accurate and they add Murphy, Brander, Hayes and Naish to a premiership list, they'd have to be pretty thrilled.

It's no surprise the Tigers have got their house in order. They have the best football boss in the business in Neil Balme

Re: WOOF Phantom Drafts

Looking at the various phantoms, it seems most have Higgins and L.Fogerty as going 10 to 15 (Brisbane seem very hot on Fogerty at 15). Depending on who's available, I reckon a good strategy would be for us to grab one of these (whoever Dal rates higher) at 9 and look at best available at 16 (whoever of the explosive athletes have slid - any of Stephenson, Bonar, Coffield, Clark, Richards, O'Brien, Murphy, even a Ballard or Bailey). Would constitute an ideal first round combo for our needs.

Re: WOOF Phantom Drafts

Most of the recent phantoms had Stephenson falling outside of the top 10, however talk now is that Collingwood and StKilda have sought further medical opinion and one or the other will probably punt on him. Probably means that 2 of D.Fogarty/Coffield/Clark/Naughton will be available to us. Gonna be a fascinating night.

Fogarty - could be Stringer but with a tank and a working zipper.

His various highlights don't have him sneaking out the back for cheapies instead of leading at the ball carrier too.

Naughton and Richards are our picks in this Phantom Draft on RoCo's website. I like the rationale for the different player selections in this write-up as well as the dissection of player weaknesses - other phantoms tend to have 70+ future Dangerfield's with no weaknesses.

They got both of them

Clayton's ability to find skinny kids with athletic traits is uncanny. After his effort on Friday night he's leaving the Suns the way he arrived, with a few more skinny kids to develop.
