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.

Nah no way. This bloke is almost the size of TeX (192.9cm), he would start AFL as a third tall at either end, maybe running through the middle VERY briefly.

He comes straight in for an injury to any tall forward other than Jenkins, and if Poholke isn't smashing the door down, Greenwood too.

He is big, yes, but his fitness needs to improve and we have a tall forward line as is unfortunately.
Will be super in interested to see where he ends up. I'd assumed he would replace Otten in the team, but with your big blokes upfront already is he maybe good enough to slot straight into the spot Lever left?

Gov fit would replace otten. I see fogarty as a backup for walker and gov if they get injured and a long term replacement for walker.

There is a fair bit of talk going around about Fogerty interviewing poorly about the possible go home risk.
Maybe he tanked the season and not just his interviews.
Now I fully expect an AFL investigation that takes away our two first rounders next year as punishment.
The bloke who said he wanted to play for Collingwood, and got there at 30ish?
 
Do we send McGovern back to levers spot and slot the Fog in the forward line?..
IMO, no. Something like

Brown Talia Kelly
Doedee Hartigan Laird
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lynch* Walker* Gov*
Betts. Jenkins Gooch

Greenwood* Knight ~ ~

If we develop him as a 3rd tall backmen, swap * for Kelly, Doedee from forwards.

He isn't fast, McGovern would definitely have him for leg speed. Maybe Lynch like speed wise? He just has great awareness and has a fast first dozen steps.

So what position does Fogharty actually play?
At the u/18 champs he played as a key forward with very limited time in the midfield. He struggled. It only came known afterwards that he was struggling with injury. He was one that I watched closely. There were a couple of games where SA could really have done with his power and explosiveness in the midfield but they just left him up forward. He definitely has the potential to be a gun mid and not just a fwd target.
 
Traded the Flog for 2 firsts and picked up the Fog with a steal.

Happy days
Well really we got Fogarty for Charlie ......who we would have got anyway at #10

So what did we really lose getting gibbs ? .....

Going by his highlights he could be a swingman with spurts in the middle. Seems really good at breaking the tackle and has a good fend off ala d martin. Seems pretty raw but i reckon he will be a gun in time. His handballs are a bit aggressive which needs to be tidied up and his kicking is pretty good but has some room for improvement. I like his aggression, seems to come naturally and something our team lacks. He actually reminds me of a very raw tall dustin martin that can take contested marks. Lets hope he is half as good. Think we did well.
