From Knightmare 's phantom draft on ESPN: Knightmare's November phantom draft

4 North Melbourne then later 6 Collingwood - Darcy Fogarty
Height, Weight:
192cm, 95kg
Summary Profile: Powerful, but athletic utility with clean skills. If not for an injury-riddled 2017 he might be in the pick one conversation.

6. Collingwood
Darcy FOGARTY
25-Sep-99 | 191.9cm | 94.5kg | Glenelg

The Magpies could go a number of ways with their first selection but opt for the talented South Australian inb a real toss of the coin. If Brayshaw falls through he could be the man, while they'll also look long and hard at Jaidyn Stephenson and Aaron Naughton. They've also been linked to Nathan Murphy. The whisper that has been doing the rounds in recent days is that they could take Ed Richards – that would throw things into chaos!
Who else? Andrew Brayshaw, Aaron Naughton, Jaidyn Stephenson, Nathan Murphy, Ed Richards

(what a crap discussion of the player - the whole paragraph is bet-hedging, for simplicity i've highlighted the bits discussing the player in green)

From Bishop 's mock draft: Phantom Draft - Bishop's 2017 Draft Thread

Pick 5: Fremantle – Darcy FOGARTY

General Forward (Glenelg/South Australia)
05/09/1999 | 191.9cm | 94.5kg

Scouting notes: Strongly built forward that can push into the midfield. Played up forward for South Australia in last year’s Under 18 Championships booting seven goals. Fogarty played a strong game in the midfield for Glenelg in their finals last year and has been tried as a third tall defender at stages throughout 2017. Has the ability to kick off either foot and can lay bone-crunching tackles. He is more of a third tall than an inside midfielder at this stage. Was ruled out for the season with a meniscus tear in his knee.

In the mix: Few whispers suggesting that Cerra won’t be a Fremantle player which leaves the decision down to probably Fogarty or Naughton.



From zookota123 's mock draft: Zookotas 2017 AFL Phantom Draft Round 1+2

Pick 10 Carlton- Darcy Fogarty- Utility players like Darcy don't come around too often and when they do you should pounce. I haven't seen aggression in a player like Darcy in a very long time. It is a positive aggression that he uses well in his advantage for his gameplay. His balance is also impeccable and reminds me of Dustin Martin when he fends people off when the ball is in his hands and being tackled by three players at once and still standing on his feet delivering the ball with ease and no strain in his face making it look easy. He reminds me of a pitbull dog and will go attack that ball using his smarts,skill and fast pace evasiveness while showing great courage. In 2016 he was phenomenal and my clear number 1 for this years draft, but he suffered a knee injury this year which impacted on his whole year. I saw one of his videos this year with him talking about his footy and he is very mature and a level headed young man. He understood that he had a knee injury and that he could play without having any pain while his knee was strapped, but he also knew he could cause more damage to his knee if he over performed. He was in the catch 22 where he had to perform well to show recruiters his worth. If you are taking the best player in the draft and disregarding a teams needs than Darcy would be my clear choice and being a utility who could be an elite star for a long time. Look at past drafts with utility players such as Stringer, Bontempelli, Fyfe. Don't be surprised if he gets a free pass to go to Adelaide at pick 12.

Personally just glad we changed everything as a club between round 10 and 11 this year. All of those things holding Darcy back just magically changed that week and the rest is history!!!!!

I don't know whether it was us showing him the extra faith (despite him being in the SANFL 2 weeks prior), our miraculous improvement of inside 50 delivery, Taylor walker sometimes taking the #1 defender, to us not kicking the ball to only Taylor Walker - lets forever remember that 7 day period as the day our club started the climb out of the rebuild.

I'm giving the credit to James Rahilly for a lot of it.

He's been working with both Tex and Fog getting them to attack the ball and stop wrestling with their opponents.

I always found it strange how both Fog and Tex used to spend way too much time wrestling with their opponents like they were defenders instead of attacking the ball.

I can't help but think that Ben Hart might be to blame for some of it.
 
Brilliant news. Was my favourite player in the 2nd half of last year.

And gets him to that 26 age where he should be peaking.

Not sure what we are paying right now, but whatever it is, it may be a bargain by the middle of next year if he continues along his recent trajectory

Thank * he had that one game with more than 13 disposals, otherwise there was no way we would have extended his contract
It was on the back of going from 2/10 fitness to 8/10 in the space of 4 weeks

If the last half of last season was a platform for him, we have an All-Australian key forward coming up and a man we can build a forward line around for our next push. Considering we have Thilthorpe, Rachele and Rankine ready to break out, plus Tex in still career best form, the Crows advance up the ladder might be quicker than some people think.
 
Didn't Tex get Covid or miss the Geeoong game for some reason when Fog was likely to have been dropped?

Fog avoided the SANFL as a result, did OK, stayed in and we finally realised what we had. His confidence grew. Belief grew.

Boom

All it took was our preferred method of player development to be taken out of our hands by someone else, in this case the football gods

And this is how history is re-written.

Pick a narrative. All I have heard is that his success came from us believing in him.

He had played 3 very ordinary games rd 1-3 in 2022. Dropped (rightly so) from rounds 4-8.

Came back in Round 9 and played like shit. Played like shit in rd 10 and then performed in rd 11. Why were you so sure he would be dropped after 2 games, when we gave him 3 shitty games before dropping him to start the season.

There was nothing revoltionary that changed with regards to selection, gameplay etc. He just started performing,
 
I thought you were being sarcastic. Was that "amazing week of change and growth" comment for real?

I think the suggestion was his turnaround was entirely on Fogarty himself and had nothing to do with the club

A wrong take, but it's a take for sure
 
Does anyone reckon Berg can also make a similar step up? He's got a lot of good traits, just can't quite seem to put it all together. His SANFL season last year was by far his best IMO, was the first time he started to look a level above, hopefully it can translate up a level this year.

Depends what you mean by step up. I don't think he'll get anywhere close to Fogarty's level, but he can improve on where he's at.

He's a marginal AFL player but as depth he's alright, I guess.
