Prediction - 2022 Phantom Drafts | Page 8 | BigFooty Forum

Cal Twomey's Phantom Form Guide: Top draft prospects' August ranking (afl.com.au)

Had a look at these 2. Cadman might just be gone before we get a pick. Jefferson is the 1 I'm interested in 7 goals V WA. Others we could be interested in are Phillipou, Hustwaite, Barnett, Gruzewski, and Keeler. I think we will go tall with our first 2 picks. Not sure of who we will go for at pick 34, any suggestions? pick 41 I think we will pick up Emile-Brennan.

    Harry sheezel would be a good fit xfactor small forward who kicks a lot of goals and can go into the the middle and use the ball well.

    My 7 ideal players that the Demons should look to possibly consider drafting (if we get 2 first round draft picks for Luke Jackson and keep them both) in the 2022 AFL National Draft would be the following young players in no particular order.

    1) Aaron Cadman - Because we need a tall forward and he looks the best in the draft.

    2) Matthew Jefferson - If we miss out on Aaron Cadman and want another likely tall forward.

    3) Harry Sheezel - Just for pure talent and the goal kicking x factor that he has.

    4) Bailey Humphrey - You simply cannot say no to a powerful goal kicking midfielder.

    6) Isaac Keeler - An Indigenous forward-ruckman who could be an ideal replacement for Luke Jackson.

    7) Lachie Cowan - A hard running defender-midfielder from Tasmania who could be a long term replacement for Michael Hibberd.

    No thanks

    Mids, mids, and more mids - we completely lack depth and quality of depth at that

    Agree we lack depth there but I reckon we’re better off getting ‘mature’ (23-25) age players who can plug that gap. Feel like it’s harder to develop younger players properly when the starting lineup is as stacked as it is. 

    Would be good to get a Cadman or Keeler type. Our forward line needs more of an injection of youth than our midfield

    Time will tell

    Why can't we target both....

    1 mid (class, poise, agility and skills/finish pls) ... Tsatas / Humphrey / Other?

    1 KTF ...Cadman/Jefferson?

    Our depth in the midfield is alright considering Dunstan can't get a game. I think we will go for mids but later in the draft.

    Any of Cadman, Jefferson or Keeler hopefully 2 of them.

    yeah, i think we have depth but it's not great quality or emerging

    i want quality players pressuring the likes of brayshaw, harmes, and sparrow for their roles as second and third rotation mids, rather than being ready to plug-and-play like dunstan

    based on what i saw of vic country v vic metro, if we trade our way back into the 1st round this year then there's a fair bit of talent available that should do that

    much more so than talls, where cadman looks a top 5 prospect but there's not much beyond that

    What do you think about Jefferson? 2 goals named Vic Metro's best.

    Not sure Humphrey is the skilled, silky  finisher that you are after. Hard at it, strong overhead and good inside.... sure!

    Can he kick the ball like Lachie Whitfield or Issac Smith? Not even close!

    I watched most of the game. Ashcroft was good but not as good as I expected. A lot of Sam Walsh about him. Harley Reid however was super impressive. He will be a star. As will Cadman. 

    Jefferson had a good game but looks a long way off AFL ready. Harry Jones vibes. 
    I really liked Anderson in defence for metro, plus Gruzewski had some great moments and Cam MacKenzie looks all class. Binns, Burgiel and Hustwaite were the other ones from Country who stood out.

    Let’s sit back and see where the trades take us. We might only get 2 (+ Chandler upgrade to main list) or 3 draft picks.  Wait to consider MFC phantom until post trade period.

    Whatever happened to the key talls from SA who were so much in vogue earlier this year? Have they fallen away or are the SA clubs hiding them?

    The AFL website is a complete joke.

    So much content. So little useful information. And so difficult to search, filter etc etc

    I wanted to know when draft night was. The logical place to find that simple bit of info is the AFL website.

    But for the life of me i could not find out that simple fact - despite there being a whole draft hub section of the site with videos, podcasts, etc etc etc.

    Now i'm sure its on their somewhere, but i looked for 5 mins to no avail. 

    Can someone please tell me what night draft night is?

    I'm putting together a phantom and will post it in the next week or so. Won't be accurate in the slightest and live trading has made it impossible to predict. Still a fun exercise though.

    Ta.

    As i said, i knew it would be there somewhere.

    But it is in the 'trade period' specific section of the website - and not in the 'draft hub' where logic suggests it should be. 

    Wouldn’t you have been better off checking in the pinned post here in this very forum?

    Probably.

    Except I didn't know it existed. I don't go to topics via the forum - I go via recent posts.

    Maybe the AFL website should link to dl.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
