I secretly hope it ends that way although I would love Langford in addition to Tauru. Guess we can only hope!! 

This would clearly be the outcome that our recruitment would value the most as they must rate those two above everybody else that would be available to us at 5.

My take

1: Lalor

2: Ashcroft (bid)

3: Fos 

4: Draper

5: Langford

6: Smith (our pick)

7: Smillie 

8: Tauru 

9: Lindsey (our pick)

10: Kako (bid)

11: Allan


what I want 

Our first pick  Langford or smith

Second pick Reid or Lindsey 

 

 

You missed a pick between our picks. 9 gets pushed back to 10.

This guy follows the draft fairly closely.

 

Langford and Allan again 

Seems to be firming as the most likely outcome, with Langford and Lindsay another likely pairing

Listened to Gettable. 

Lindsay was interviewed - his manager says he is right in the mix for our pick. 

Adelaide list boss was interviewed - says they have been locked in for a few days, but it was a close call.  Very little to split the top group, which they think includes Kako and Tauru. Said Draper and FOS struggled in the carnival as they came undercooked due to injury, which made it hard to compete.  Said they came good at the end of the year. 

Also said they didn't need a big bodied midfielder as they have Dawson and Curtain, who they think could be a midifielder.  

Said they were interviewing one other player today, which could alter who they picked.  Wouldn't reveal who - but maybe Tauru?  He said Tauru was absolutely amongst the best "four or five" players in the draft. 

Sounds like they like Draper, but its a pretty line ball call. Seems like the other two in the frame are Langford and Tauru. 

Thankfully they can only pick ONE at 4. !!

Agreed … predictions are saying likely Langford at 5 & Allan/Lindsay at 9

Could see this happening: 

5.  Langford
6.  Smillie
7.  Travaglia
8.  [Saints trade 8 and an F2 to Richmond for 10 and 24] Allan
9.  Tauru

I think if Tauru and Allan are on the board at 8, there will be a lot of people coming for that pick. If Richmond are so keen on Allan that they would take him at 6, they might trade up, as he might go to us at 9 if not.   

Otherwise, GWS, Port and Sydney all have picks that they could use to trade up.  In an even draft, however, I image a lot of clubs would prefer to have a few picks rather than one good one. 

North could offer a F1 for 8, however, which you would assume is a top 5 pick.

Just shows how confusing the nga and f/s picks make the draft. Thanks for posting your take !! 

I really want to know why we haven’t been linked to Sid Draper in any of the many phantom drafts. Every one I’ve read has Draper linked to Carlton, Adelaide, St Kilda and even the Roos in a few but not one has us linked to him at all. I thought that if all of FOS, Lalor, Smith and Langford are off the board that Draper would be the next best. I’d rather Draper or Smillie at our first pick than Tauru. 🤞🏼

I must say I haven’t been confused until I did it myself!

No worries! Love seeing everyone’s thoughts. 
I feel like for the first time in a few years this is one of our most important drafts we really need to get right. What do you think? (I know the aim is to always get them right but this year it’s a must with two top ten picks)


Anyone seen Tom Scully dad’s phantom draft?

he is usually on the money

So the Tigers will end up with something like:

Lalor

Smillie

Allen

Shanahan

PLUS 4 more in the twenties

Nuts!

I’m hoping the Crows are settled on Draper so we don’t have to worry about missing out on Langford

Richmond’s interest in Allan is the potential curveball for our second pick though 

Do they jump on him at 6 if they think Smilie slides? Do they try and trade for one of St Kilda’s picks to jump ahead of us? If Allan is gone but Tauru is available do we end up with Langford and Tauru instead?

Lots to play out

Nah where's that posted, do I need the KFC app or something? 😂

Pretty remarkable that Cal and others are changing their order even at this stage

The top 5 is locked imo. No way Crows pass on Draper. We will take Langford

But the next 7 is anyone’s guess

Haha *shrewd :cool:

It's The Taming of the Screwed. 😄

Thanks to these phantom drafts clubs know where to trade to get in front of other clubs. 

Richmond going to beat us to Bo Allan now because of Cal [censored] Twomey. 

How is this fair?

Reckon we get Langford at 5 and Tauru at 9. No idea what happens though if Richmond throws everything off with selecting Smith or O'Sullivan at 1.

Would be a great result. If travaglia also manages to slide I’d snap him up at 9

Richmond beating us to Allan would make it more likely that Tauru slides to our second pick, especially if the tigers trade for one of the saints picks. Langford and Tauru would be a realistic dream scenario in my eyes.

    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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
