So the Tigers will end up with something like:

Lalor

Smillie

Allen

Shanahan

PLUS 4 more in the twenties

Nuts!

Helps to put those ins at Tigerland against the talent that s left this yearโ€ฆ

Dusty

Rioli

Baker

Bolton

Plus loads retiring in addition to Dusty

they have a way to go in their rebuild.

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.ย 

I feel like whoever trades for one of the Saints pics will take Tauru. GWS likelyย

Take that back, no more Tauru discussion please until weโ€™ve drafted him.

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

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

How is this fair?ย 

But clubs also know that Twomey is putting out content consistently in the days before the draft.

All part of the many moving pieces in play that make the draft the intriguing event we all obsess over. Maybe those rumours were floated so that Richmond would 'beat us' to Bo Allan so that we could pick up a more preferred option.

It's all smoke and mirrors until the picks are read out

I really want to know why we havenโ€™t been linked to Sid Draper in any of the many phantom drafts. Every one Iโ€™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. Iโ€™d rather Draper or Smillie at our first pick than Tauru. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ

The Vlub wants Tauru if Langford not available it appears from Cal. That may be your answer.ย

Is Lindsay really the best get at 9?

Won't know for a few years really but he has some very exciting traits. I reckon he's a rippa!ย

I think between him and Allan, it's a good selection. Winner of the Morrish Medal which is a great achievement in itself.

His skill set and ability to play inside and out gives our midfield mix a different blend.

Fair to say itโ€™s been narrowed down to the following. This is assuming that all of Lalor, FOS and Jagga have been picked which is sounding close to locked in;

Pick 5: Langford or Tauru

Pick 9: Tauruย or either Allan/Lindsay

Very likely we end up with two of the above four players with the bolded player our preference at each pick if still available.

I feel like as long as we get Langford at 5 (presuming all the other top mids are gone) we canโ€™t go wrong with any of Allan, Lindsay or Tauru at 9

He reminds me of Troy Makepeaceโ€ฆ

so thereโ€™s that


Did anyone hear Chris from Camberwell on SEN? That guy has no idea๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. He Thinks weโ€™re going to trade pick 5 to Richmond for picks 6, 10 and 11. And weโ€™re going to take the Whitlock twins.ย 

I mean I wont judge by the small film I watched of his in the first post of his own post as I found it ok, without being amazing but its only 6mins.ย 
After the Toumpas fail, I've been wary of the smaller elite mids, but Windsor has tempered that somewhat too.

The clubs know more than Cal. Cals phantom drafts he shares are just a less educated version of what clubs have told him. They have zero influence on the draft. Clubs have lists of 50 plus with tools to alter based on factors like position, specific attribute, location etc. What we read and hear about is a fraction of it all.

This.

The various phantom drafts seem to grow in perceived significance every season, particularly Twomey's.

As fun as they ate, they are just that - fun. Click bait.

Hell, Twomey seems to have more phantom draughts than Kit Walker's brewery.

agreed - dialogue and rumour mill has Dees selections asโ€ฆ (depending on availability)ย 

At 5: Langfordย โ€ฆ if already pickedโ€ฆ then Tauru

At 9: Tauruย โ€ฆ if already picked by MFC or another club โ€ฆ ย look at either Allan or Lindsay


We could just be name dropping Lindsay to try get Allan through to pick 9.

Or... We're goading Richmond to pick Allan early to give us a better shot at Tauru.

Or, none of that is happening and I don't have a clue (most likely option).

All of them seem like great pickups and will be stoked regardless.

Chris from Camberwell says a lot of things whilst purporting to represent the entire Melbourne faithful. He said Goodwin would be gone by Christmas! I've never heard him apologise for statements that were later shown to be lacking depth or reason. His annual cries for Jefferson to be accommodated in the forward line as the Messiah are enough to put me off the player altogether. Fortunately for Jefferson, he is now worthy of serious consideration if Roo, Disco or Fritta go down.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    Weโ€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesโ€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingย 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
