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

You've got your fingers on the pulse, love it.

 

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.  

Cal Twomey's Phantom Form Guide: Top draft prospects' November ranking

Please note that this is not his phantom draft. That is still to come.

Players Cal has mentioned that we may be linked to in ranking order:

2. Finn O’Sullivan
3. Harvey Langford
4. Jagga Smith
5. Sam Lalor 
6. Murphy Reid
7. Sid Draper
8. Alix Tauru
10. Harry Armstrong 
11. Bo Allan
12. Tobie Travaglia

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)

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
