View Full Version : Phantom Draft


Stevo
21 Oct 2003, 10:35
Let's take nominations for the phantom draft that's happening in about three to four weeks time.

My view:

Pick #6: Inside midfielder. Cooney, Sylvia, and Walker will most likely be gone before we get into the draft. But one of them is still available (most likely Walker) then we should take him. Otherwise, our candidates include: Ray, Tenance, McLean, Dunn, Bentick, Surjan.

For our next three picks, I think one of them should be a tall defender. Apart from that, we should just pick the best available. Another possibility, given that we have got two first round picks and a balanced list, is to pick a "project" (perhaps McQualter) in the second round.

So:

Pick #6: Inside midfielder.

Pick #13: Best available/tall defender

Pick #28: Best available/tall defender/"project"

Pick #44: Best available/tall defender/"project"

Pick 6- Tenace or walker...dont rate mclean or dunn

Pick 13- Dyson..im sold on this kid...so much upside and such a talent already.

Pick 28- Tall Defender

Pick 44- Midfielder/Kpp.....take a punt here on a kid that could be anything. Might as well take a risk as we have some serious young talent on the list so we can be patient with a project player.

He will probably still be available. Don't think we need him though. He's very talented, but not the sort of player we should be looking for, I think. If he's still available at pick #13, then we would seriously consider him.

Pick 6: McLean..he appears to be fairly handy.

Pick 13: Watts...has the height already it seems.

Pick 28: Koulouriotis...bring him home and around the Keilor Park mafia at Essendon (Mercuri, Misiti, Peverill)

Pick 44: Lovett-Murray...would be a project player and can play half-back/half-forward.

Just about right there I think. Only worry is getting a **** key defender with #28. Hopefully Chris Stewart will be there then.

Well, it seems we're all agreed (so far) that pick #6 is for an inside midfielder. So the next step is to rate the top six in order, so that we can take the best on offer:

This is how I see it:
Cooney
Sylvia
Walker
Tenance
Ray
McLean

Gee I'm starting to take a liking to Tenace, don't know why. Maybe replace McLean with Ryley Dunn

ray is an outside midfielder.

My first preference is Sylvia. He is going to be a superstar but i doubt he will be available in the phantom draft so i think we should take Walker at 6.

For 13 we should go with either Watts or Dyson or if Chaplin is available snap him up but i am pretty confident that the geelong guy will take him (he is a fan).

Pick 28 i would think about taking Rowan Bonson/Jacob Surjan/Jay Nash depending on availability.

Pick 44 Dont really mind but possibly Aaron Davey from Port Melbourne. Very similar to Daniel Wells and is even faster!

Sylvia and Walker may not be available. You should list your top 6 in order of preference (regardless of whether they will be available or not) so that we can agree on the best choice.

Yes, but the point is that he still has to be picked. So I take it that your top 6 in order is:

Cooney
Sylvia
Walker
Tenance
Ray
Chaplin

Suppose those first 5 go to the first 5 picks. Do you still think we should take Chaplin, or should we look for one of the other inside midfielders?

Chaplin, Watts, and Morrison are all genuine key position players. They are strong in the contests and can take a mark.

Bradley is a 6'6" wingman.

Calder's Ben Clifton is handy, but he'll go second round at the earliest, I think.

Do you know what positions they actually play, or can play? Eg I know Chaplin is a CHB but can he play FF/CHF?

Chaplin can play forward and is a better forward than back..a bit robotic at times.

Chaplin's position is definitely CHB. He was tried up forward now and then but he didn't seem to be able to get into the game.

Watts should be a good CHF. He does run around all day and his strength at the contests means he's always a good target to kick to.

Well there you go. I probably only saw half a dozen games at most where Chaplin played.

I'd be very happy if we got McQualter. I haven't seen him play, but in his 6 games for the Power he averaged 38 disposals, 7 marks and nearly a goal per game. What's the deal with him Stevo? Why does he play so few games?

Yup. Similar situation with Goddard, who, I believe, was also at Caulfield Grammar. He rarely played school footy, and I don't think the school were happy with that given the scholarship they gave him. I wouldn't be surprised if they spoke to their football team about it and wanted their kids to play predominantly for the school.

22 Oct 2003, 13:14
So why is there so little mention of him in draft talk? 6 games and his worst effort was 31 disposals and 8 marks!

Because he is very underdeveloped. He's an unknown quantity. He'll get picked, but not early. Probably not even second round.

i dont think we should use pick 28 on Koula. Sure if he is available at pick 44 he would be worth a shot but consider this, would you trade our 2nd round pick for a 20-sothething-year old who has not made his debut, i know i wouldn't. With pick 28 i would much rather take, one of the following Bonson/Nash/Surjan or even McQualter.
Lovett-Murray we could get with pick 76 or just get him in the rookie draft.

If you're referring to Koula, he's 21 and he debuted in 2000.

I think we've got a couple of rookies whose couple of years is up, so they'll probably be moved on. That'll open up a spot for Chris Goullet.

23 Oct 2003, 23:20
Think Stevo has touched on this before, but here is the types we should be looking at:

#6 - inside midfielder. One of Tenace, Walker, Sylvia will be around - take them in that order.

#13 - tough one. Maybe a KPP (defender) but if there's nothing there that is worthy of #13, another midfielder is the go. Here we look at Dyson, Surjan, Dunn.

#28 - Project KPP, preferably a defender, and will most likely be a 17 yo. Chris Stewart from Northern perhaps.

#44 - Unknown - maybe somebody who has slipped through, maybe another tall but probably another in and under ball winner.

I think we will keep it at four picks (it all depends how many are delisted).

Here's my order of preference:

pick 6 - gun midfielder
pick 13 - tall defender
picks 28, 44 - small forwards

We've currently got 16 midfielders on our senior list. After we take another at #6 we need to address our more pressing needs.

Small forwards is a need thats why i would use 13 on dyson..he can play there with a move to midfield later on. There isn't much quality standout tall defenders...you could probably get a kid later in the draft who could turn out to be as good as the early picks

That's all very well Pornstar, but if the tall talent isn't there at #13, you take the best available, simple as that. I'd rather see us take a good midfielder like Dunn, Dyson or Surjan than waste it on a **** tall defender just because he's the only one left. We can then use a later pick for a young 17yo KPP who will take time to develop, who you just wouldn't risk #13 with.

If one of Chaplin, Gayfer, Stewart is available at #13, I think we should take him.

We can then use a later pick for a young 17yo KPP who will take time to develop, who you just wouldn't risk #13 with. We're going to have pick 13 (or thereabouts) next year, and there will be another Dunn, Dyson or Surjan ripe for the pickings. Two or so years from now Wellman will be gone and Fletcher on his last legs. That leaves Lucas, Henneman, Bolton and Hunt as our tall backs. Henneman is a useless hack, Bolton is up and down and Hunt looks promising but could easily go either way. If we get ouselves a quality tall back NOW, we'll be much better set in defence for 2006.

I know a few supporters here have a hard on for this Dyson bloke, but how many midfielders can we have? We've already got Hird, JJ, MJ, Pev, Rama, Misiti, Bullen, Alvey, Murphy, Rioli, Haynes, Watson, Winderlich, Walsh, Reynolds, Bannister, Davies and whoever we get with pick 6. That is 18 midfielders.

I agree with you, but if there's no tall defender who we could justify using pick #13 on, then we should pick the best player available.

But Gayfer will probably still be around at pick #13, so he'd be a good choice. Chaplin will have probably gone by then. Stewart would be another good choice, I think.

Pornstar believe me when i say the best tall kids at the moment in this draft are not up to previous years standards....You can get a kid at 44 who with the right devolpment will be just as good as the others who go earlier. Morrison from tassie is one who could go to us at 28 from tassie. Missed the whole year with injury but if he was fit he would have gone first round very easily.

I think Gayfer is worth considering for #13 but to be honest I'm only going on what I've heard about him - haven't seen too much of him, only bits here and there. Chris Stewart - maybe a bit early, I'll be wanting to use #28 on him. Watts sounds like a pretty boy from a private school, his type usually turn out to be soft cocks. I think Gayfer would be the pick of the talls IF we were to use #13 on a KPP. I'd still be inclined to take a Dyson, Surjan etc.

If Morrison is available at 28 we should not hesitate, TAKE HIM. He was going to be top 10 before his injury. If we take 2 midfielders with 6 + 13, we wont be needing miller.

Agreed, we've got Johns and Laycock coming through as key forwards, we don't need another.

We really only need another quick and creative inside midfielder, and a key defender. The best kids in the draft are all midfielders, so that's what pick #6 should be used for. As for #13, it could go either way. Gayfer is a smart defender, he reads the play well and knows how to cut off the angles. But we could also get a good defender at #28 or #44, and then use pick #13 on the best available player (which would be another midfielder).

From what I've been hearing about Morrison, it sounds very similar to Courtney Johns' case. Big key forward who constantly impresses and is touted as being a high draft pick; breaks down with injury, and loses favour.

Not convinced we really need him, but he sounds like one of the few genuine key position players in this years draft. He'll probably go before #28, but if he's there, he'd be a reasonable selection.

I agree entirley. What are the Chances of Mclean being available at 13, because if can get walker or Tenance with 6 and Mclean with 13 we would be laughing plus say morrison with 28, and a 17 yr old with 44... would be a good draft.. im not sure about Dyson, ive looked him up he seems to be classy, but id say Mclean would be better. As he is prolly the smartest player in the draft, reads it reeeally well.

This situation would not be ideal, put it that way. I think Dunn would be our man.

Agreed, on both counts. I've been saying it for a while now... Dunn is the sort of player that Sheedy likes.

I think we'll be relying on Carlton to take Bradley (or at least, not one of those five midfielders). Bulldogs and Melbourne will both take two midfielders, since they already have plenty of young talls.

Agreed, on both counts. I've been saying it for a while now... Dunn is the sort of player that Sheedy likes.

I think there is still a chance WB will take a tall with #4, they have a few young talls but not many seem to be showing much. Anothe may be in order. If this happens and Carlton also take a tall, one of Sylvia, Tenace and Walker are ours.

That's a big "if" though... ;)

Sheeds may surprise us all and pick some smokey playing for Keilor park U/18's..or some school kid nobody has heard of....the old boy always seems to do something outa the ordinary for our first round picks.

I'd be happy with Tenace/Walker for our first pick.
Dyson/Morrison with our second. I dont rate Dunn, much like weaver has stated most people think he is better than he really is. Mundy , Gayfer , Chaplin will be good players at best. Billy Morrison has the size on his side that if we were going to choose a KPP id chose him over the rest.

Only if Walker, Tenance, Sylvia, and possibly Ray, were unavailable.

I agree Morrison would be a good choice.

Carlton will be taking Walker with pick 2, so I'm sorry guys. I think Tenace will not get to pick 6 either, I have a suspicion that Melbourne will take him, even though their KPP are crap. Their midfield ain't crash hot either.

McQualter WILL still be available at our pick 28 and maybe even 44!

Yup. McQualter is too big a risk at #13.

Inside midfielder at #6; A good tall defender (if there is one) at #13, otherwise another midfielder.
