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.

That's not correct. He only produces one actual phantom draft, with some late mail updates right before the draft.

He has been incredibly accurate over the years, if anyone knows what's going on it's him.

Raising an eyebrow to later in the draft, it has been interesting seeing just how far Luke Trainor has slipped due to concussion. From a high of being routinely projected in the top-5, here's the range of picks he is placed at the main phantom drafts going around;

28; Cal Twomey's AFL.com

28; ESPN

>27; Foxsports

20-40; Also Foxsports

18; SEN

22; RookieMe Central

 

Concussion gives us all the skin-crawling sweats for obvious and sensible reasons, but surely a slide into the late 20s would start making us consider trading up to grab a potential jackpot in the key defender succession plan.

We wouldn't need him on the field immediately so the scope for a cautious and thorough management plan would be there, he'd have great mentors, and we might be the no.1 club for responsible concussion management at the moment.

Just a couple of months ago he was considered the outright best tall in the draft.

There's a bit more to Trainor then just concussion. 

More off field related.

Did anyone hear Chris from Camberwell on SEN? That guy has no idea😂😂😂. He Thinks we’re going to trade pick 5 to Richmond for picks 6, 10 and 11. And we’re going to take the Whitlock twins. 

Man that guy’s such a hard listen😮‍💨😅

& then Dwayne puts it out there as  if the blokes got the inside word at the Dees [censored] 💀

Herald Sun late mail has linked us to Joe Berry, saying taking him at 9 could be a surprise of the night 

Still primarily linked to Allan and Lindsay at that pick though 

Meanwhile Jack Henderson of the Werribee FC has done a medical with us and seems a chance for our later pick should he be available

Just broke into a sweat at the thought of Berry at 9. Let Freo take him and we can get him back in a year when Kozzy requests a trade there🫣

I actually really rate Berry but 9 does seem a few spots to high for him, especially if Allan or Lindsay were still on the board

Cal mentioned us having some interest in Berry yesterday, it’s probably where they got that from.

Edited by 2021

Berry’s a jet, we have a heap of good options open to us. Another that would help address our ball movement forward of centre.

Was just thinking, Bo Allen has a fair bit of Jordan Dawson in the way he plays.

One phantom draft with two updates is three phantom drafts by my reckoning.

Tomato, Tomatoe.

And I didn't say twomey wasn't accurate - well at least in terms of the top 10.

But if he is correct the hundred other phantom drafts with different selections are, by definition, wrong.

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.

I don't recall Chris from Camberwell saying anything deep or reasonable ever.

Agreed … was thinking Chris Judd 🤣🤣but that’s very optimistic 🤣🤣

Berry not a small fwd - he is 6 foot

more a medium tricky fwd but does play smallish apparently


I have to join the chorus.  Langford and Berry would be a dream outcome for me.

He's off to Norf you reckon?

If Melbourne want Chandler to go higher up the ground (potentially in an ANB role) , we know what Kozzy is like with his suspensions and his flirting with going home and our extreme interest in Nick Watson last year carried on to our big interest in Kako this year, Joe Berry makes a lot of sense. 
 

in JT we trust, right? 👍🏼

you've been on fire lately mate! love it!

I'll be happy with any of Tauru, Allan, Lindsay or Berry at pick 9.

I think all of them would slot into our round 1 team.

    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.
