Pick 14

[Joao]

He's a good prospect. I like the idea of him as a midfielder but him on the HB could let us try Ryan in the midfield perhaps?

For the love of Pav, why?

don't take the name of the lord vain.

If we're taking anyone off half back it's Connor Blakely so that he can be our midfield extractor.

So Twomey has us taking Hill. I personally will be rapt if that’s the case.

If he had twenty kicks I'd expect him to have about fifteen score assists.

...but I don't think we have enough elite ball use behind the ball without him

He'd have to get 20 kicks first.

He is really good at defending. Let him do that.

He is. He had twenty kicks nearly four times last season (one game with 19) and we won three of those.

His power rankings really are a joke. There were wholesale changes from his last update, despite nobody playing any football for months. I questioned why he didn't have Zac Butters or Ian Hill inside his top 50, and he was quite firm in his opinion that they're too outside and overrated. Suddenly Butters is at #18 and Hill at #39. Jye Caldwell has gone up to 7, Tom Joyce has entered from nowhere to be at #29. Why? Because the actual media have been talking about them.

He does this every year. Changes his personal rankings a couple of days out to match the rumours. Okay rant over...

Chris, interested in your thoughts on whether or where you think Louis Miller from East Perth might get picked up in the main draft.

Yes, playing in defense.

It’s interesting that he mentions that Port interviewed Hill recently but doesn’t consider him a chance at their earlier pick. If they’re keen on him they’d know that they’d have to get him before our pick surely.

Really like this intensity from you, Chris.

 

[mike91]

Really like this intensity from you, Chris.

Basically sums up all the phantom drafts on BigFooty.

- Talk like you're an expert
- Wait for Twomey's phantom
- Realize you were unsurprisingly very wrong
- Edit your phantom, make it look like Twomey's
- Pretend you changed your mind and that it's not at all because of Twomey's phantom

This time tomorrow after the late mail phantom gets released

- Repeat all of the above

 

[Taylor]

Then suggest the professional recruiters got it wrong when they didn't pick who you said they would.

 

[free at last]

May be with Lloyd & Bondy gone we might be a lot more predictable with our early picks?!

I’m up to 85.

I’m up to 85.

My list is a little more basic than your masterpiece.
I've got 99 players who are listed more than once, but it gets a bit shaky after 70ish.

Cant be any more unpredictable that is for sure

193 players listed at least once. 142 listed more than once.

A lot of the lists are repeats showing changes over the year. Some are rankings of players and some are Phantom drafts. There are a few podcasts which are good to listen to Lystics comes to mind.

 

[Dale147]

Stop stressing lads, that stuff will kill you, my mantra, don’t worry about stuff you can’t do anything about. Our draft picks fall fairly and squarely into that category

I still don’t have any real preference for the pick 14. I’d be happy with hill or Clark if still there. I wouldn’t be surprised if freo that chance Jones if he is there. They seem to like the Tasmania players. I’ll only be annoyed if they pick someone like McHenry or even stocker that they could’ve got with a later pick

100%. And the best thing about being a moderator on the phantom draft board is that I can see what edits are made and when.

I’m sticking to my story that Twomey and Landsberger copied mine though. Both look pretty similar from pick 10 onwards and I posted first.

Anyway, later today I’ll profile who I think the 5 most likely picks for us are.
