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.

From Brett Anderson on SEN Brett Anderson's 2017 AFL Mock Draft

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.

Bullshit.

If he wasn't BoG today, then he was bloody close to it.
Apologies it seems you weren't the one who thought fog was no good if he wasn't getting 14+ possessions, i have misremembered.
Fog was excellent yes, and has been most weeks since about round 8

Fog first 7 rounds: 6 goals
Fog since round 8: 33 goals

Would be good enough for 5th best in the league per game, since R8

Just on the holding the ball call. He took a mark. That's prior. As soon as you play on from a mark you have expended your prior opportunity to dispose of it.

It's umpired very similar to the old "take the ball out of the ruck" rule. If you play on, and are tackled, you must dispose of it IMMEDIATELY. Fogarty still tried to break through the tackle. Yes it's hot, no maybe they don't pay it every time, but to the letter of the law it's a free kick.

There was two - I agree that was fair enough
There was another he handvalled to the ground and still got called

He went to play on, not realising that idiot team mates would run directly in his way, dragging their opponents there as well.

Get out of the great man's way, peasants

My post isn't a criticism of him either, it happens. If anything it's good to see him have the confidence to burst through mere mortals, even if it doesn't always work.
 
I bitched about him not playing to his potential, but it was another user who tied themselves to the mast of 14 touches.

Not quite Vader, not quite.

You said he was over-rated, that he had less potential than everyone thought … and that you would get him off our list ASAP. That he was a wasted list spot.

You were constantly saying that he would never amount to anything worthwhile AND that he had ordinary attributes for the modern game.

Anytime you hear Fog”s name, or see a post on it … you just need to say “I got that one totally wrong.” and not try and sugar-coat it in anyway.

I know you tried the “well if he’d played like this before I wouldn’t have had problem with him” which emphasises the entire issue most of us had with your original position.
 
I wish the AFC asked the AFL for a please explain for the FOG called HTB when he clearly handballed.
in today's HTB climate, where players dropping/throwing the ball out of tackles seems to be the desired action - this was a glaring miss. a real blight on the game... I've tried to explain the rules to fresh Thais/Americans over the last few weeks and it is a real... embarrassing? experience.

Tbh I think the explanation is just a simple umpire error. The umpire just thought he dropped it instead of handballing it, which if he did, it was the correct decision.

Umpire called it based on what he saw in the moment and obviously got it wrong, shit happens.
 
I love Fog, always have and always will.

But Im not a fan of this before the game.

Remember how it ended for Burton a few years back.......


I think the difference is that when Burton did that it was clearly a party line he’d been fed and asked to say. The last few Showdowns Port have really pushed this narrative trying to manufacture some kind of emotional response for the playing group.

Fog there is just answering a question honestly and genuinely. I don’t see anything fake or forced in it.
