Hope that SEN phantom draft isn't a sign of things to come

Selecting both Smillie and Shanahan would be disappointing if all of Langford, Tauru, Reid and Travaglia are available at picks 5 and 9.

dees internal draft board generally incredibly different to consensus rankings

Who was it first that confirmed Windsor to us before Twomey? Was it the Age the day before. 

Twomey I reckon called it 2 or 3 days before. I remember being skeptical at the time and wishing we’d go for Curtin. Glad to be wrong

We were linked to Windsor a fair way out, but originally with pick 13

The Tholstrup links came way closer to the draft, after we made the trip over to grab some of his nan's roast

That roast must’ve been exquisite

SEN's 2024 AFL full Phantom Draft has us taking Josh Smillie with 5 (6), and Jobe Shanahan with 9 (11).

SEN's 2024 AFL full Phantom Draft

Richmond take Harvey Langford with 6 (7) and Alix Tauru with 10 (12).

I'd be thrilled with Smillie, but a hard no on Shanahan.  How many 195cm forwards do we need in the squad?  Does he provide any point of difference over the players we already have in those roles?  Much better off bringing in more midfield class.

Shanahan is much more athletic than what we have, he is much more in the Curnow mould.  I hope we get him

Not a fan of FOS, so of it purely came down to Jagga, Draper or Langford then it's a win for us either way.

Unfortunately there is no way Lalor lasts to our pick.

I reckon Carlton are a chance to take Draper

Did anyone else notice on Gettable that Cal linked us to Whitlock? It’s the first time I’ve heard that link, and I’m not even sure which brother he was referring to.

We’ve had a link to Jack previously (per Marc McGowan in the Age).

ABC have had a go at a phantom:

If Richmond don't take Lalor at pick 1, would North consider him at pick 2 over Tauru? I am really curious about this because the Dusty type would feel a bit like the icing on the cake for what they're trying to build midfield wise.

Just going on the ABC guide. The top 6 is almost set

1 Lalor

2 Tauru

3 O'Sullivan

4 Draper

5 Smith

6 Langford

It's going to be a tough decision on who the Dees pick up at 5 out of Smith and Langford better them choosing than me it would be a nightmare.

7 to 9 are a bit murkier.

Apparently St.Kilda are interested in Smillie, but I'm not sure anyone in the top 10 will pick him.

7 Travaglia

8 Armstrong

9 Allan

Shanahan and Reid are also in the mix at 9.

I haven't included Ashcroft because it makes no difference he's going to Brisbane.

I just dropped our first round (27 picks in total) mock draft on YouTube.  Have a look and let me know what you think:

I wouldn’t be sure of that. Lalor is still the pick 1 favourite but Cal sounds nervous.

The North and Adelaide pick swap seems genuinely possible. And Draper to Carlton has momentum too.

Every chance Cal’s phantom looks like this.

1. FOS (Rich)
2. Lalor (Adel) or Draper
3. Draper (Carl) or Lalor/Langford/Smith 
4. Tauru (North).

Would be nice if it went like this..

2. Langford (Adel)

3. Draper (Carl)

4. Tauru (North)

5. Lalor (Melb)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
