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.

Playing him higher up the ground almost brings him into the stringer type player role from a few years back. Still has a ways to go to be like Stringer was at the dogs but he might be good enough to get there. He seems to enjoy roaming a bit and clunking them around the ground.
Better than him wrestling with an opponent.

So much better when he is on the move.
 
I agree and it means he can use his explosive ness to lead up in more open fields and his field kicking to our advantage
Like Tex, he is a good field kick.

I was a bit concerned earlier in the year but it's clear now he's better as that roaming forward. His elite kicking, movement and skills allow him to play that role.

When Fog is playing well, there are not that many better key forwards at the things he does well imo.
And hopefully as our midfield improves he will get better service in small lead ups when he runs back to inside 50.

I can see this working really well with Thilthorpe when he is back too. Having both Walker and Fogarty working up the ground and delivering to Thilthorpe as the deeper target.
 
Darcy has played this way for a long time. The difference now seems to be players are starting to look for him more when he’s up the field and more talented players kicking to him. His marking is still an issue, too many 50-50’s dropped on the weekend again but as usual he mops up the ground ball well.
He’s a natural footballer and beautiful to watch when on song. Always been one of my favourites.
 
Has been in the coaches votes 3 of the last four weeks
I wonder if he was carrying an injury early on in the season.

Now that he is far more mobile, getting up the ground and making multiple leads up forward he is getting the rewards.


He has that quick burst of speed back that was missing in early games. Those games to compensate he engaged in the wrestle more.

Maybe but it felt more like he was being positioned to play as the deep forward with TT being out injured and tex struggling a bit more physically at the start of the season.

Now he appears to be playing more to his strengths which is pushing higher up the field, which coincided with Himmelberg coming in and playing his role with greater success.

Is there a hit the post stat? Feel like fog hits the post way more than average
You see, Fog is lethally accurate. He's hitting the post cos of that old Axiom - aim at the post and with the wind it will sail right through.

But he's better than the wind. So he's hitting the target.

That's what's going on here.
 
Anyway, over the eight games since the Showdown (inclusive) Fog's gone at 2.5 goals a game. That's top four KPF territory.

And whats amazing - is that we are equally shit as a team during those 8 games with only 3 wins from those 8 games.

So whats changed? All of those excuses that have been regurgitated the last 50 pages are still the same from a team perspective.

Its almost like FOG's form is 100% mental. Credit to him - he is having an 8 game purple patch. Lets hope we get that for an extended run.
