2017 AFL Draft thread

[🏅Dooks]

probably thought he would just sign a few relo's items and not anyone elses because he was such a big shot and let them sell them for big moola.  Now that he is a failed trade on, it ain't worth jack poo.  Now his sig at tigerland is about as popular as a prick flavored lolly pop.

Thats a tad harsh....plenty of people are into that flavour

love is love.  wait, what about if it belonged to Barnaby Joyce?

[🏅Dooks]

Depends if you're into hats i guess

Callum Twomey's latest phantom draft guide:

He has Naish at 13.

Cal Twomey's Phantom form guide: October edition

afl.com.au
30 October 2017

WITH all eyes now firmly on the NAB AFL Draft, it is time for another update of the Phantom Form Guide.

AFL.com.au has ranked the best 25 players in the draft pool, not taking into account where they might actually get drafted or where bids may come for father-son or academy prospects. It is not a mock draft.

There will be one more update of the Phantom Form Guide ahead of next month's draft, which will be held at Sydney Showgrounds on November 24.

1. Cameron Rayner
2. Luke Davies-Uniacke
3. Paddy Dow
4. Adam Cerra
5. Jaidyn Stephenson
6. Andrew Brayshaw
7. Darcy Fogarty
8. Jack Higgins
9. Hunter Clark
10. Nick Coffield
11. Jarrod Brander
12. Aaron Naughton

13. Patrick Naish
POS: Midfielder, Ht 183cm, Wt 73kg, DOB 15/1/1999
From Northern Knights/Vic Metro
September ranking: 12
Naish looks likely to become a Tiger next month as the leading father-son pick in this year's draft. His dad Chris played 143 games with the club as a small goalkicker, and it's clear his smarts around the big sticks has carried on in Naish, who loves a goal when he floats forward from the midfield/wing. Naish is lightly bodied and an outside player at this stage, but he uses the ball well and breaks the lines with his kicking, running and dashing nature. It's a rare trait in this year's pool.

14. Sam Hayes
15. Charlie Constable
16. Lochie O'Brien
17. Ed Richards
18. Oscar Allen
19. Aiden Bonar
20. Connor Ballenden
21. Matthew Ling
22. Nathan Murphy
23. Noah Balta
24. Lachlan Fogarty
25. Zac Bailey

Hunter Clark is another potential draftee who is a Tiger supporter.


AS a passionate Richmond supporter, Hunter Clark was in footy heaven as he sat in the MCG stands on grand final day last month.

He reckoned seeing the Tigers claim their first premiership in 37 years was about as good as it gets.

Clark says he has no idea where the draft will take him, but admits he’d be pretty chuffed if he ended up at the Tigers.

“I don’t know if I will but it would be pretty awesome for me and my family if I did. Anything can happen I guess.”

Any interest here in 194cm South Australian defender Harrison Petty? Talk he'll go in the top 25 which is of course around our first 3 picks.

Rohan connolly has this guy at 17. He's a tall ball magnet mid with endurance but is slow.
He sounds really good to me endurance is coming back into it.

But speed speed speed. Hmm

He is also apparently a Tigers supporter.

Lack of speed would be a major concern, but maybe could play a Caddy type role in the team?

[Diocletian]

Bonar & Balta would be a top result....

The draft position of Victorian ruckman Sam Hayes will be one of the most interesting aspects when names are called later this month.

Despite being a back-to-back All Australian, it is unlikely Hayes will find a spot in the top 10 on draft night, with clubs reluctant to use early picks on ruckmen.

Tim English was drafted with pick No.19 last year despite being an extremely talented ruckman, and a similar draft position looms for Hayes.

Richmond could look at Hayes with one of its first three picks – No.17, 20 and 25 – but he is not a guarantee to fit in the first round.

...and rightly so....
