2021 PRE Phantom Draft

[bullus_hit]

At pick 53 Richmond selects East Fremantle midfielder Joshua Browne. There were only two midfielders I had on the board, the other was probably erring on the project side so I've gone with the player who seems well evolved on the skills front. Kicking is generally clean and efficient and he can hit the scoreboard when needed. Shadowed a little by Sheldrick who played as a full time mid at state level, I think there's some decent value here and he's probably the perfect selection at this point. It will make it much tougher to get the key back from this point on, that's why I prioritised Charlie Dean at this selection but Browne is still value and it might just be a case of holding off on the key back until next year.

Port Adelaide is up @nikolasmia

At pick 45,

Essendon bid on GC Suns Academy Player of the Year

Bodhi Ewlands.

185/85 half back, who busts in the midfield and sneaks forward and kicks long (55m) goals.

Ewlands has an eye-catching leap, a penetrating kick and tackles like Jacob Townsend.

when Ewlands hit a contest, which he does without regard for his own safety, opposition players often leave the field horizontally.

Ewlands managed 6 VFL games in 2021 averaging 13d, 4 M and 2 T

2 NAB games yielded 24d, 5M, 6T and 1.5G,

earning him selection for the hypothetical Allies U19's

again, given GC (@Leysy Days) omitted to pre-nominate Ewlands, and has no picks left in the 2021 draft,

welcome to Essendon son.

the club where we dont give a *smile* about anyone.

Buuuurrrpppppppppppppp

53. Joshua Browne​

East Fremantle/Western Australia | Midfielder

3/01/2003 | 185cm | 77kg

WAFL Colts: 13 games | 32.8 disp | 0.8 goals

A highly prolific on-baller, Browne propelled the Sharks this year off the back of an insatiable work-rate complemented by an ability to find the ball both on the inside and outside. He has also become damaging in the forward half, while still working hard defensively and applying pressure. The gut-runner took home the Jack Clarke Medal for best and fairest in the WAFL Colts in 2021.

Best traits similar to: Cam Guthrie

Jack Graham like pick.
Picking a hard working midfielder who wins the league B&F.

Great pick BH. Good be a surprise packet in the draft.

Yep. Very Jack Graham like.

Port Adelaide select

Ronald Fejo Jnr

@Tigers of Old Carlton are up

When I was hoping Anderson would slip through to the rookie draft, I was hoping I'd get AJ or this guy at pick 60. He's a dancer alright.

Carlton Pick 55:

Lachlan Rankin - Oakleigh Chargers

Classy outside mid/flanker with good skills.

@toothless up for the Hawks

Failing that, this guy. Talented, clever player, great pick-up so late.

R U trying to challenge Essendon for the biggest *smile* title?

I think they are. Ouch.

 

[Sammy Cougar]

62 + 63 for 60

Its a Deal

 

[Sammy Cougar]

@bullus_hit Freo have made a trade with Port Adelaide
Port Adelaide get Pick 60
Fremantle get Picks 62 & 63

 

[mrposhman]

Saints Picks.

Pick 57 - Jack Avery - medium defender. Having seen how important Nathan Broad has been in the Tigers backline for 3 premierships, Avery looms as a similar type. Mid sized, capable of shutting down but also rebounding, seems a great choice to support the Saints defense

Pick 58 - Jake Soligo - Continuing with generating more speed between the arcs, Jake Soligo slides in here nicely to add to Sinn. Saints are all about quick ball movement and whilst he is inconsistent, if they can iron out the inconsistencies, he has the quality to make it at AFL level.

@footballmonk Eagles are up

 

[toothless]

I think they are. Ouch.

From the Dawks' perspective, its fair game. Nyuon himself was pipped before the Aints who had academy rights. Richmond is arguably the kings of bidding on Academy players and rightfully so, each club should look after its best interests. If you delist a player, especially after only a minimum of 2 years, you run the risk of this happening.
