Phantom Draft eDPS Rankings & Draft Discussion 2024

[SteeleSaints]

He has likely suffered because of the midfield depth that Metro had, I think he has handled his role change well at half back. I do rate his leadership qualities and considering he was one of the younger players in this draft crop that’s fairly impressive.

Would love to see how he goes playing midfield against the likes of a full strength Sandringham/Oakleigh with so many top end midfield talents

I’m no longer with RMC but still love their work

Really?

What work's taken your fancy nowadays?

I’m a scout for the Oakleigh Chargers, the 2025 crop is the start of talent pool I’ve had a hand in. Players like Sam Allen, Charlie Whithead and Kai Stewart for example are players I had an interest in bringing into the club back at 15s level.

Personally I think we have a deep talent pool next year as to Eastern Ranges who I suspect to be pretty strong next year.

Getting into the real stuff (no offense Pie 4 Life ), congrats mate. Hopefully RMC keeps being a genuine pathway for passionate blokes like yourself to get into scouting for teams

Peels last game before there bye Allen had 2 touches and played the whole game is that a worry

He had 5 (not much better) but gave away 3 free kicks which should have been disposals aswell. Tried to take the game on but got caught quite a few times, he copped a bad knock in the last quarter aswell so missed a lot of that quarter.

He played fairly defensive game playing essentially as a small defender taking a small forward so he was often out of the play but he barely gave an inch and I believe only had the one goal kicked on him.

Yes it’s on our manifesto right before world domination

 

[Pie 4 Life]

jeez this comes across as desperate

Someone following your lead, never thought I’d see the day!

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I’ve missed the RMC banter.

You were so desperate you became the first girls draft watcher!

It is amazing what you pick up when you open your eyes while watching footy. Should try it some time

Personally I think you have enough pure inside midfielders developing on the list so a player with a good balance and or great finishing skills by hand and foot would be the preference imo. O’Sullivan of those 3 I think suits best but even someone like Xavier Lindsay would fit in really well with what you already have.

I also think goal kicking midfielders would have to be an option and Smillie does offer that but a bit lower down the order you have the likes of Tom Gross, Murphy Reid, Cooper Hynes and Harvey Langford.

Do you think FOS is still in the mix for pick 1?

Thanks for this - nice to have a collated update of performances!

 

[eDPS]

Once the combine invites become public I plan to make up a strengths and weaknesses list for all the key position prospects. Plenty to them are hard to separate on talent so I can hopefully make it easier for those who want a certain type of tall.

Draper is having one great season and has no problems at any level he steps up into.
Champion, I am unsure how to rate the kid, but his center of gravity is so low and he just kicks goals and with the Hawks and GWS playing small ball, there is a place for small forwards.

Davis, this is my bandwagon player that I think will move higher than most people have come draft night. He has way too many AFL attributes to not go high on draft night and once people see his tank, BF might move him higher.

Jagga must get leather poisoning, just with he had a touch more penetration on his kicking.

Yeah Draper is almost a guaranteed 200+ gamer, such a dedicated kid

Champion is a tough one to rate but he will certainly get drafted at least.

I liked David at champs but wasn’t very impressed with his 40 disposal game in the colts, it’s forward or nothing where he certainly has a future at AFL level.

Jaggas biggest attribute is his ability to win the ball at stoppages and cleanly release to others who are more penetrating kicks, I don’t think it’s a major detractor personally.

Louie son of Brett?

Yep

What has happened to FOS since the champs? Haven't heard boo about him. Is it school footy? If so, does anyone have any numbers?

He's playing for Richmond in the VFL this week with Jagga.
Interesting to see 2 of the potential number 1 picks playing together.
