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.

Felt like a changing of the guard with Tex/Fog today
We need more of this as we will be healthier for it.

Tex was well beaten by Payne & worst of our key forwards.

Fog was causing Lester problems.

Berg tried to keep Andrews out of other contests, but Andrews still managed to have impact... however Berg manage to do some offensive damage too.
 
He was great today,
It looks like he works a lot harder and is getting rewarded for it
I loved that kick from Dawson to him deep in the forward 50 for a goal
Best I have seen him hit packs hard & flying for marks.

Energy levels appear higher.

If Fog can keep this up, the club can in my opinion make a call on Walker with RT and Welsh looming as well.
Walker has earned the right to play on if he is still in decent form.

We just shouldn't guarantee every game.
 
I've seen plenty of players do this and being given the leeway to do this by the umpire. Admittedly I can't remember a recent example all memories from the past.
Tiger Woods stopped mid-swing once when a photographer's camera clicked!
 
As a few of the obvious positives for the year (Soligo, Keane, Rankine - hope everyone jumped on the 501-1 each way bet for the B/low) the last 2 weeks are showing The Fog could be finally ready to step up and take over from Tex. But clearly 2 weeks is far too early to be a trend but as a confidence player historically it’s critical he kicks on from here and keeps up this momentum for coming months.

Also wondering if having HH in allows Fog to take the 3rd best KPD instead of the second best if Gollant or Burgess plays instead. Besides HH currently outperforming those other 2 options, this could be a major indirect benefit of his inclusion as you normally get the best (at worst second best) KPD when you are 200 cms. Just a random thought.

Edit EH obviously, not HH unfortunately (brain fog accompanying my weakened physical state)

Tex must have been sore. I didn't even know he was on the ground in the first quarter on TV. Right from the start, we directed all of our entries through Himmelberg and Fog.

Up until now, I have regarded Payne as a very weak link in Brisbane's defence. Tex made him look like a superstar. :huh:

Payne was decent last year... but yeah, I had to check in the 1st quarter whether Tex was playing.

Payne's been good since he came in to the side.
 
I would love the club to get Johnathon Brown or another big bodied ex Forward to teach Fog how to use his body.
It’s about the only part of his game holding him back. He gets caught out too easily and doesn't hit hard enough.
Get that fixed and he will go 60+ goal/ year player.
He clearly know how to and look very good when he move and jump at the ball but revert to staying stationary a lot more this year.

This is about the connection between the midfielder and the forward.

The forward need to be able to read what the midfielder is likely to do and vice versa.

Fog doesn't have that connection with Laird and Crouch and he doesn't really know when to lead or stay back with them. Most of the time those two kick long or to Tex as well.

He does have it with Rankine though I assume because they've played together a fair bit through their junior years.
 

Your club's top forward-50 targets, 2024​

Kuwarna: Taylor Walker (73 times), Darcy Fogarty (59), Izak Rankine (29)

Walker has kicked 15 goals, Fogarty 14 goals.

Looks like Fogarty has been the more effective forward target this year inside 50

And Fog would have had a lot more in last 2 weeks to even it up a bit

Tex has played one less game. 8.11 targets per game compared to 5.9. Which I suspect is the smallest gap in recent years.

If I had more time I'd go back and look at some of the players considered comparable in terms of their targets vs output, but cbf right now.

That's because Walker keeps passing off!
 
Good game by the Fog

Curious to know other peoples thoughts, seemed a way more mobile game and very damaging once ball hit ground.
Plays better higher up the ground. Tex was playing that role more.
He struggles to get involved when playing deep as he just doesn't have the contested marking or ability to get off his opponent.

Got his hands to a LOT of almost-marks, only to drop them - but that's nitpicking of the highest order. Thought he had a REALLY GOOD game.
