Now that we have a draft order of sorts that isn’t going to depart too far from the one that will apply on the first night of the 2025 AFL National Draft, it’s time for some Phantom Drafts. I found this one on Zero Hanger but it’s hard to navigate through its clicks.

My criticism is that I don’t believe we should be drafting a tall forward unless one presented himself as absolutely outstanding ie a best available player.

On that basis I wouldn’t take Schubert ahead of Duff-Tytler who some have as high as top 2.

"Daz Talks Footy" had us taking Dovaston and Farrow @ 8:42

I need to watch more of Farrow, seems to have nice traits with size and athleticism

A shame Dursma didn’t play 100 games for FS on both he’s boys & daughter

Wasn’t it their uncle who played for us?

Jamie Duursma played for Melbourne. His brother Dean, father of the current crop, only appeared at Under 19 and Reserves level.

Apologies thx for confirming

Leave it to Taylor as absolute top talent likely to be gone before we arrive.

Personally just like to see us pick up of adaptable ,big strong bodies who are quick, tough competitors and hit targets.

Re smalls we are fortunate to have Viney,Ozzie, Chandler,Tholstrop, Laurie .

The latter two should see more opportunity under new coach.

Duff-Tytler will go higher than 13!
