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.

It would be good if some of our regular contributors could come on here and actually just admit they got this one massively wrong.

Won't happen through.

You give them far too much credit for integrity.

I was becoming increasingly pessimistic that he’d never put it all together (the final element being his own effort). I’m sure I was overly negative at times and I’m hugely happy it’s all clicking and he’s putting together a highlight reel worthy of his immense talent.

Bring on another pre season and further fitness!
 
Fog and McAsey aren't really comparable. Fog showed afl traits from day 1 whether that be in the AFL side or sanfl.

Whenever I've watched McAsey, sometimes I've questioned whether he even has the traits to make it as a good sanfl player. Just hasn't taken the step up from u18s.

That's not to say he can't improve, just that there's a distinct difference between he and fog in their early careers.
Cannot doubt that at all

I can admit I was wrong. I'd been frustrated with waiting for him to come good and finally gave up on him after he turned out a couple of stinkers to start this season. I sold when the market bottomed. Regrettable.
 


Maybe our coaches could have suggested this after the grand final loss instead of a dumb camp? lol.

You can thank Paul Seedsman who alerted the lads to Rob Walker who he'd worked with 2 years earlier

Must have worked for Seed too because he was terrific in the last couple years. Can't help but think we may have won another match or two if he were around this year.
Absolutely. He was the best wingman in the comp last yr or close to it

"Where does Thilthorpe see himself playing long-term?

“Hopefully inside mid, I don’t know,” he said with a laugh.

“We’ll have to wait and see but next year definitely forward and second ruck.”"

:p
 
Is a cautionary tale which the same posters will not heed. People will continue to write players off early.

Range on his boot too. Goals are sailing through from 40m+ out, with regularity. That's hard to defend.
2nd goal in that clip above he kicked it from 55, landed in the crowd, so it flew 60m+ nice and straight.


Men can get taller until we're 25, as far as I know. I recall gaining a centimetre or two from about age 21 to 25.
That happened to me, but it wasn't my height.
