Mistake if we don’t take Curtain at 6 assuming he is still there, Leake should still be there 11 so no need to rush and take him early if we also want him. We are set for mids and they are easier to draft or trade for if we want another next year.

I significantly doubt Leake will be available at 11. I feel Geelong would love him, as would GWS.

And what if you count Curtin as a midfielder? I prefer him as a mid than down back

    Well the Club has the say so let’s get behind their choice and after all Windsor could be great at pick11. 

    I want Curtin also at 6 but I’m a key position down the track.

    I really would be shocked if we even contemplated taking Collard with one of our first two picks

    Sounds like we’ve also delisted Milkshake this afternoon, with a view to adding him back onto the rookie list.

    I have complete faith in our recruitment team and whomever is selected by Jason Taylor and his colleagues, it will guarantee no Moore, Harmes, Dunn.  :ph34r:

    The Dwight phantom draft for 2023 - assuming no live trading, which there will be. 

    1. Harley Reid (WCE)
    2. Jed Walter (GCS)
    3. Colby McKercher (NM)
    4. Zane Duursma (NM)
    5. Daniel Curtin (Haw)
    6. Nick Watson (WB)
    7. Ethan Read (GCS)
    8. James Leake (MFC)
    9. Nate Caddy (GWS)
    10. Riley Sanders (GEE)
    11. Caleb Windsor (ESS)
    12. Darcy Wilson (AFC)
    13. Conner O'Sullivan (MFC)
    • I think Essendons greatest list need now is a classy, quick, pure wingman so they'll target Windsor with pick 11
    • Adelaide apparently really like Darcy Wilson and i expect their next pick they'll target Ollie Murphy and get another key back 
    • I have Conner O'Sullivan sliding due to Wilson, Leake and WIndsor all flying up the ranks 
    • I fully expect West Coast to trade pick 1 and us to attempt to move up the draft order in some capacity.

    Essendon have Nic Martin, Duursma perhaps even Tsatas for their wings, Windsor would be a really odd choice for them

    I take your point, i think 13 and 11 could easily go either way, and i don't think many at the MFC would be dissapointed with Windsor or O'Sullivan

    Makes you wonder if Norf even need picks 3 and 4 given their needs.

    Their midfield is stacked with likes of LDU, Simpkin, Wardlaw, Sheezel, Tarryn Thomas and Will Phillips... All high draft picks

    They don't need McKercher, etc. They need key defenders, classy flankers and goal sneaks which they can pick up later.

    We basically take the leftovers in a shallow draft, take what’s left on the table with 8 & 13, unless West Coast accept all of our picks, plus next years, throw all our chips in  for number one.

    No commitment by the looks of it

    Maybe a club told him to refuse.

    He didn't attend because he missed his flight.

    No that’s not the case Either Windsor or O’Sullivan are good for us. But if we can go some spots higher our first pick is a better option but would rule it a second high draft pick no doubt.

    I never count on Sheehan to be realistic in terms of who goes where. Plus it wasn’t a Phantom Draft, just a mock draft based on needs, not on who actually goes where.

    After the mock draft finished, Cal linked us to both Curtin & Caddy, which is interesting.

    Think we'll take Caddy with the first pick, hopefully Windsor with the second if he's there

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
