Matt Balmer’s 2015 Phantom Draft

With the minutes ticking down until the first name is called out on draft night, here is my final phantom draft for 2015. Despite the draft being labelled as weak, there are still quality players in the top 30 picks. Expect many clubs to pass on the night, with around 60 picks to be used […]

Jourdan Canil’s Phantom Draft

The AFL national draft is almost upon us. This year, I’ve tried to make this is most accurate phantom draft possible, so there’s only around 60 live picks as well as rookie upgrades and passes, so fans can have a clear idea of what their team will do. 1. Carlton – Jacob Weitering Club: Dandenong Stingrays Position: Key […]

The 10 draft prospects you shouldn’t be sleeping on

1. Sam Weideman Weideman is perhaps the second most established key forward in this draft. He has missed much of the year with an injury and he may not be ready to test at his peak for the combine either. When you are not playing, people almost seem to forget about you. Weideman is clearly […]

If Schache is still considered a top three prospect come draft time, with Carlton, Brisbane and potentially Gold […]

Calder Cannons: Mid-year review

Calder Cannons don’t sit as equal leaders of the TAC Cup for no reason. They have plenty of solid depth that is helping them to a top-four finish. They have used 39 players at least twice with a good mix of bottom-age, top-age and over-age players. After a preliminary final last year, they’ll be hoping […]
