Phantom Drafts - 2018

Gutted. Had hoped for O’Halloran.  Last pick of the night. 

Its Hill, Valente and Taylor who dropped down.

Eagles - Hill or Luke Foley 

Crows- Valente

Swans - Taylor

Dees - it’s still Tom McKenzie for me. Jack Bytel is a very tempting option as a punt.

    Might still be there with our 2nd pick.

    If they get snapped up I'd like 2 of Stack, Williams or Bytel

    Based on watching 4 national championships matches live and 7 under 18s matches live ... plus highlights ... I agree with you. 

    Ohalloran is a star.  Bytel can be the steal of the draft.  McKenzie is exactly what we need for outside pace whilst Turner is a jet who needs some refinement. All would be good picks. 

    Mostly watched Stingrays games so I am biased. Bedford is a lock. Other Stingrays such as Will Hamill, Zac Foot, Bailey Williams and Sam Sturt should be drafted.  Riley Bowman is also not to be overlooked.

    Saw GF v Chargers. Collier-Dawkins is a absolute gun. Impressed by James Jordan and Will Kelly. 

    I had James Jordan in the 60+ range.  Only saw him in the GF and his kicking was excellent.  Certainly worthy of development.

    Credit to you, Taylor agrees.

    Jordan stood out in the TAC Grand Final. Not for owning the game but his efficiency under pressure and clear decisions.  I think JT values players who perform under intensity.  Good call. Thanks.

    Riley Bowman missed out??? Get him down to Casey Demons quick smart. 

    What position does he play?

    I'm disappointed in my crystal balling only got Wagner right, thought Sparrow would be around the mark but everyone else I got no where near.

    Yes Wagner and Bedford were our locks ...

    We had Xavier O’Halloran and Xavier Duursma in our phantom originally but they proved too good and went before our picks.  They were the ones we were really after. 

    Not sure why Tom McKenzie dropped so much to end up only a rookie option.  I saw Vic metro v Vic country under 18s and he stood out for pace and disposal plus contested footy.  Starred at the combine.  Thought 25-35 likely and in our requirements. No discipline challenges from what I know.  Kangas might have got a steal. 

    Never keen on Curtis Taylor so not surprised he dropped from late 1st round to 3rd Round. Kangas again might have a bargain.  

    Sydney Stack was impressive for WA Under18s but must have other challenges.  A year in the WAFL and we might see him back in discussions for 2019 draft. He has the talent no doubt. I was never that keen.

    Bailey Williams was one who we wanted but JT was after mids, and he dropped to 35 for Eagles.  They’re good at building up young ruckmen like Sinclair and Lycett.  We might get him one day. 

    Sparrow was always thereabouts.  Had him at about 40-50 range but he is a Demons type player and JT style.  Hard and tough.  Good pick.

    Hamill was in the mix and we had in our phantoms for our 2nd rounders but snapped up by Crows at 30. A classy mid who would have been a fit. 

    We liked both Turner & Kennerley as pacy options and they were grabbed later on. 

    Hore was always in the frame and spoken about as someone MFC had contact with. But I got the thought we had enough 6”2 intercept defenders in Lever, Jsmith and Wagner. Nonetheless he can play. 

    I liked Jordan from the TAC cup grand final.  Competitive, fast and excellent disposal. Tick. I thought 60+/rookie but not surprised he was a bolter.    Nietschke is the same. Chandler was a shock.  Plenty of scrappy defensive small forwards going around. 

    In JT we trust.

    Bytel was very good last year.

    Two I like as smokies are Daly Andrews from Western Jets (long kicking, athletic type who loves going for a run) and James Jordan (186cm Oakleigh midfielder who can play half back, great decision maker and could be the most penetrating kick in the class). For different reasons, both didn't have a tonne of exposure this year, but could be great late gets.

    Or in the case of Jordon, not so late get! Wonder if Andrews comes back as a over-ager.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
