I know Angove is a lot shorter but a lot of similarity between him and Nat Fyfe in his draft year. Angove however is an elite kick of the ball. He is the kid in this group that could pull of any trick shot you want done. Physically he is a fair way off now but I don't think he will stay that way.Always value your insights, had a look at Cody Angove, the #9 in the yellow Claremont guernsey made me think of Shane Crawford with his pace and hard running.
What about Davidson do you rate so highly? Must admit he's not been in my radar because I've not really followed the mature agersFair chance you are right with Davidson but I have never been one to follow popular opinion.
Lachie Jaques another who could slip out past 40s, highly rated junior, intercept and dashing defensive runner. Always a bit worried about those Geelong Falcon kids however with go home factor. Angus Clarke or him late.
Under the AFL's rules, clubs can trade out a future first-round draft selection but if they do that, must retain the rest of their future selections for that draft. If they trade out a second, third or fourth-round future pick, they must hold their first-rounder for that year.Well that ain't right is it? We already traded F1 so can't trade any other futures.....
I'd add Trainor to these two.For me it's Reid and Shanahan. I'm preparing to be disappointed
Defeatist attitude. Travis Boak says hi.Wouldn't touch a Falcon, never ends well
We need a key position player who can play next year. Love his athletic traits as well as his willingness to compete. Very raw in regards to not having been in the system. Skills actually look solid enough to play AFL his hands are pretty clean at ground level and in the air. By the time we get to this stage of the draft I don't think Harry Armstrong will be available and none of the younger key position players will be ready to play in 2025.What about Davidson do you rate so highly?

Not sure that's changing my mindDefeatist attitude. Travis Boak says hi.
Fair enough, although I think if we draft Shanahan I don't think we'll go another KPF. I think there's little to separate between Davidson and Shanahan in terms of being AFL ready.We need a key position player who can play next year.

I actually have Marshall pegged as a defender. His poise, agility and vision make him a great candidate down back.Fair enough, although I think if we draft Shanahan I don't think we'll go another KPF. I think there's little to separate between Davidson and Shanahan in terms of being AFL ready.
I share the same opinion of Lord. And I've suggested many times that Marshall should play as a 3rd tall back so I'm glad that someone else thinks that way. But I'm afraid we won't be doing that so picking 2 KPFs seems a bit too much to me.I actually have Marshall pegged as a defender. His poise, agility and vision make him a great candidate down back.
I think we need let position players at both ends and only picking one key forward is fool hardy because it is probably the biggest hit/miss selection you make.
I don't rate Lord. Marshall is to big a risk to take into games. This probably leaves Soldo or Visentini as our next best tall forwards.
Down back Aliir is nearing retirement and the other tall are just honest competitors.
We have mids , small forwards and defenders. Need a tall draft like when we picked up Dougal Howard.
swan actually had speed. However when you are moving all game it is only the very few that can show any speed as the game gets longer. He was smart with his use of speed. Running at top speed actually ****s up your endurance so one needs to use it wisely. I think Hynes is very much in this mouldThis whole narrative about leg speed is such sh1t.
Look at guys like Pendlebury, Swan just to name a couple. Not remotely quick.
The first few steps are in the head.
This applies to D.Williams aswell, it’s not just his leg speed that has him on the cusp.
You speak too much sense, where have you been the past few weeks while I've been trying to convince people of Hynes?swan actually had speed.

Pendles although not quick he is not slow either and his side step makes him harder to catch than those who run fast in straight lines.
I will hate passing over Hynes at pick 14.
Also on Ough, kinda like Phillipou in his draft year, Ough is still 17. Turns 18 on 15th December so still could grow in height which is a fascinating prospect given he's already 194cmInteresting to see Ough linked to so maybe he's a chance at 36. I like the link but imagine he is similar in speed to Hynes it might upset some.
Have 0 issues with Shanahan at 13. But I can't help but think Reid + Gerreyn would be a better combo than Shanahan + Ough. That's where I'm torn. I like Ough in his own right at 36 but that pick 29 starts becoming a bit murky and I'm not sure who I'd take if Hynes/Hannaford/Dattoli/Trainor don't fall to it 29. Maybe Hamish Davis, but almost keen to just trade that pick into next year and get one back in the 50s as well.Phantom Draft AFL 2024 | Fox Footy AFL phantom mock draft 2024: Predictions, live trades, bids, formguide, date, time:

We are definitely a pick short. Which is where the non-delisting decisions we've made are bizarre. But there's nothing we can do about it anymoreI still think we’re a pick short.
I would have liked us to pick up one midfielder especially given how poor our depth is at SANFL in developing mids. If not Reid at 13 (or Travaglia who I see as getting into the midfield eventually), then Ough with pick 36.
We also need a goal-kicking small-medium forward who can find and use space inside 50, a tall/key forward and tall/key defender. The idea of getting Clarke at 29 or 36 has really grown on me too. Maybe he’s the HBF who turns into a mid-wing.
Let’s see if that carries through when playing against mature larger opponentsPrecisely, he can consistently break tackles and fend off to give himself the separation
