. JACK TRENGOVE (18, Sturt, 185cm, 84kg) I have no idea how the Demons would have split Trengove and Scully had Jordan McMahon not delivered them a priority pick with his postsiren goal for a four-point Richmond win in round 18

Someone has been reading this board..lol

I don't know about anyone else but with four days to go I've hit the wall with saturation coverage of this stuff. I've already banned watching any You Tube material (most of it is misleading anyway because it packages a player's highlights and doesn't show much of what he's doing for the remaining 95% or so of a game) and I think I'll lock myself away from this for a few days. Still, can't wait for the real thing though!

Feeling a bit like WJ and I can't wait for it to be over. While I respect Emma and her draft knowledge and admit mine is not much above nil, I can't help but feel that this year her picks won't line up with the actual clubs this year. She has Port taking 2 mids with their fist 2 picks and us 4 mids with with our first 4 picks. I just can't see that happening. She also has Cunnington slipping to 7 and Butcher taken by North whereas I feel they will take a mid, most likely Cunnington.

Connolly fanning the Ball discussion is also very interesting as if we take him that changes things as it will if it forces another club to strike early to take him.

Anyway it makes for a few days more discussion.

 

Speaking of Jordan McMahon, as soon as the draft is finished, can we pleeeease remove this list clogger's name from this forum?

I really don't enjoy clicking on a dud tiger's name during the off-season.

Just my 2 cents, now i'm off to read Emma's article, i enjoy her stuff, so i'm sure i'll enjoy this article too

This isn't her phantom draft. Just her top 25. They are two different things and she did both last year.


Emma Quayle has stressed that this is NOT a phantom draft, merely who she likes in rough order of "best".  Her list is: 

1. JACK TRENGOVE (18, Sturt, 185cm, 84kg) 

2. TOM SCULLY (18, Dandenong Stingrays, 182cm, 77kg) 

3. DUSTIN MARTIN (18, Bendigo Pioneers, 186cm, 88kg) 

4. GARY ROHAN (18, Geelong Falcons, 188cm, 82kg) 

5. JOHN BUTCHER (18, Gippsland Power, 197cm, 87kg) 

6. JAKE MELKSHAM (18, Calder Cannons, 185cm, 75kg) 

7. BEN CUNNINGTON (18, Geelong Falcons, 185cm, 84kg) 

8. JASPER McMILLAN-PITTARD (18, Geelong Falcons, 186cm, 71kg) 

9. ANTHONY MORABITO (18, Peel Thunder, 191cm, 97kg) 

10. CALLUM BARTLETT (18, Geelong Falcons, 179cm, 75kg) 

11. LEWIS JETTA (20, Swan Districts, 181cm, 69kg) 

12. AARON BLACK (18, Peel Thunder, 192cm, 82kg) 

13. DANIEL TALIA (18, Calder Cannons, 194kg, 90kg) 

14. ANDREW MOORE (18, Eastern Ranges, 189cm, 86kg) 

15. TROY TAYLOR (18, NT Thunder, 189cm, 77kg) 

16. BRAD SHEPPARD (18, East Fremantle, 186cm, 81kg) .

17. RYAN BASTINAC (18, Dandenong Stingrays, 184cm, 77kg) 

18. KANE LUCAS (18, East Fremantle, 187cm, 79kg) 

19. KOBY STEVENS (18, Gippsland Power, 187cm, 84kg) 

20. JORDAN GYSBERTS (18, Eastern Ranges, 189cm, 82kg) 

21. BEN GRIFFITHS (18, Eastern Ranges, 199cm, 98kg) 

22. NATHAN VARDY (18, Gippsland Power, 198cm, 94kg) 

23. LUKE TAPSCOTT (18, North Adelaide, 180cm, 87kg) 

24. JAKE CARLISLE (18, Calder Cannons, 197cm, 87kg) 

25. SAM REID (18, Murray Bushrangers, 194cm, 87kg)

She has also deliberately omitted Luke Ball because her purpose is to introduce the young players.

Speaking of Jordan McMahon, as soon as the draft is finished, can we pleeeease remove this list clogger's name from this forum?

Well, we're taking your suggestion on board although Jordan McMahon has become something of a cult hero around here. If we end up drafting Luke Ball he'll certainly come into the mix.

There must be something about recycled players who have ended up at Richmond because Bomber Blitz have named their trade and draft board after Tom Hislop. I guess we're all paying homage to their former coach, the incomparable Terry Wallace who raised trading and drafting to an art form. :lol:

This isn't her phantom draft. Just her top 25. They are two different things and she did both last year.

Apology.

 

I will give Emma some credit. Justifies her selections (although I do not agree with her list in parts) and seems to have poured much time and deliberation into her list.

The admission of Luke Ball suggest he is a top 25 talent in the draft (which is obvious). I wonder where she would have ranked him.

I really want Vardy at 18. I have about 5-6 players I want at pick 11 (none of which are named Luke Ball), but at 18 I want only Vardy.


The best thing about this list is the thought of 4-5 of them playing in Demon jumpers ... :wub:

Been waiting for this out of most phantom drafts im pretty sure she was very close last year.

wait.. just realised its just her top 25 players

That is exciting, I can not wait to see these player we pick and the current crop of youngsters rack up 50 games under their belts.

THE DEMONS WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE..

Speaking of Jordan McMahon, as soon as the draft is finished, can we please remove this list cloggers name from this forum?

i agree take his name off, and can everyone stop calling Carlton carltank, you know what they say about glass houses


The best thing about this list is the thought of 4-5 of them playing in Demon jumpers ... :wub:

And add to that there is no Matthew Panos, Jack Fitzpatrick, Dylan Grimes and Liam Patrick on that list, I'm confident we will get the goods with picks 11 and 18. Even makes 34 look better as well.

8. JASPER McMILLAN-PITTARD (18, Geelong Falcons, 186cm, 71kg)

Who?

Give me a spell.

Perhaps you should stop just reading Phanton Drafts.

Gee, sorry I don't know everything about everyone.

Up until I read that article, I'd never heard of McMillan-Pittard before. He hadn't really come up in discussions much on this website either.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
