When you look at that phantom, if you can resign yourself to being happy with Tauru, which I am, then we are sitting very pretty.

GIGGITY

What makes you think travaglia could be anything? I don’t see his ceiling being very high. Solid but not high ceiling compared to other prospects around him I’m pretty confident we will look elsewhere imo. Tauru could be but he could also be a big fat bust.

It is his ability to move across the ground. He glides acros the ground. Good mover like that and super competitors tend to translate well. The key is obviously whether he can go on ball ala Will Day who is his player comp. I think he can due to his movement in and out of traffic, there are few as good as him in the draft at that.

In Order i'd say
1. Reid
2. Smith
3. Osullivan
4. Travaglia

Wouldn’t this ruffle some feathers in here

It's been annoying me for a while, I thought Langford looked like someone but I could never figure it out. Well, I might be way off the mark, but I was watching Travel Guides and, well...

Pommy Draft Pick 33 Tom Sims

 

[gringo2011]

I think Angus Hastie is criminally underrated on our board. We always talk about Nas & Sincs, also hoping Arie and McLennan keep improving. I almost never hear about Hastie, who burns up the track. He has that ability to play tall and small, and intercepts well, he may even be a bit taller than his 190cm listed height. He is a beautiful user of the footy and is quick and agile.

Hastie is absolutely one to watch this year and the fact we don't talk about him more is a shame. He's a big reason why I think TT as a half back is our least important position to pick a player in.

I like him but I wouldn't think he's underrated. He's still a fringe kid who is going as expected but not looking like he's pushing anyone out yet. He reminds me of Sam Gilbert. His kicking can look a bit iffy at times but a really nice sized always seems to be on the move.

Pommy Draft Pick 33 Tom Sims

There are a lot of good tall forwards this year. Sims could be a good ruck forward option. He's a tall kid but super athletic. He could be a Blicavs type even.

 

[TheJackal]

That's brutal.

Yeah, did him dirty there, but it's the complexion with the dark hair I think. Either way, they've got to be related

So basically any old pasty dude who has run a tub of nugget through his hair?

So Cal Twomeys October Phantom Draft has Tauru / Armstrong at Picks 9 and 10...with all the top mids gone before our picks.

Worst case scenario

 

[joydivision22]

Absolutely hate Travaglia at [emoji[emoji6]] for us. Hate Armstrong even more. Much prefer Hotton or Reid if we hold the pick and no big dog slips through.

I admit I wanted Hobbs over Wang though..

You know I don't think this has been discussed on this board before, but apparently it's pronounced Snt Kilda.

If anybody has any Wikipedia articles or clips from documentaries about old Scottish ships it would be greatly appreciated.

Worst case scenario

except we have picks 8 and 9 (after Ashcroft bid). So in his ranking (not a phantom draft.. but the rankings are based on what recruiters gnerally think about the players) he has Smilie and Tauru at our picks.

In his phantom draft he predicts exactly which tream will pick each player, based on intel. That is different.
Still, I think everyone here would be happy with a Smillie and Tauru combination

 

[Banger9798]

Sigh: can someone ,please just tell me who we're getting ,now.!

So Cal Twomeys October Phantom Draft has Tauru / Armstrong at Picks 9 and 10...with all the top mids gone before our picks.

Worst case scenario

Smilie is at 8, our first pick

Worst case scenario

It’s not a phantom draft it’s just player rankings

 

[Sippa]

I think Armstrong will be the biggest bust I don’t see too much that will hold up at afl level . Please don’t go near

[HeavenlySources]

I know we have 2092 halfbacks but this guy looks like a decent late-draft prospect at halfback. Great character and a saints supporter growing up:



Would be very handy at a pick in the 40s
