2008 phantom draft

[Pafloyul]

Carlton need a CHF and CHB not midfielders

I'd like to think that we would take a tall player or two if we think they are worth taking. We could definitely do with another top midfielder but I think you must take quality talls when they are available.

If only Richmond had have 'reached' when Franklin was available.

 

[Cruiser23]

I'd bet both my nuts that Carlton do not draft Stanton.

Geez HBF, strong words

 

[Ebert80]

Umm....Port absolutely do need a ruckman or a key forward, a midfielder is not what we need with our first pick - Lade will be gone after another year, Brogan 2 or 3 years, and after that there's not much depth with Deluca struggling and Lobbe still learning the ropes up.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Not gonna do my full draft till after trade week

here is a little taste though...

8. RICH-Jackson Trengrove
26. RICH-Tom Swift
What you think????

Smilingassassin, there's no way richmond needs another skinny key defender. if mitch brown is there at 42 he won't be there at 43.

 

[Pafloyul]

You're contradicting yourself and your criticisms of Hughes if you want us to overlook the best available at six.

We have a CHB who is only 19 years of age, but we desperately need another clearance player or midfielder with legspeed and skill if we can find one.

A player similar to Boak or Deledio would be great.

And yet the OP says that some clubs who finished above us on the ladder will do a noticeably better job if you believe his ratings. We must be doing something wrong. I'm still not convinced that the supposed 'best available' are the best available either.

It should be the best set of players for the club going forward not necessarily the best credentialed individual at junior level.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Lobbe is 199cm, he is a ruckman.

Needs atleast 10 years in the gym.

Which should have him ready when he's 29.

You'll probably get a better response if you address the person whose post you quoted.

Your future children will thank you

 

[Masten2McKinley]

dont no why everyone has this preception that we will get natinui, we need RICH more then a ruckman.

 

[sydney eagle]

I like your phantom draft for West Coast "Smiling Assassin". Natanui, Hill Rockliff, Jetta ! While I don't necessarily know the NAMES all that well it looks as if that draft covers at least some of the positions that need bolstering. Maybe need to get a small defender from somewhere and, if Kerr goes, I think that i'd rather the Eagles take Rich than Natanui, but otherwise .

Thanks Donald.

Carlton will choose out of a KPP (Hurley) or a couple of midfielders in Ziebell or Hartlett.

 

[bigman100kg]

Lobbe is 199cm, he is a ruckman.

Great logic there mate. Therefore Dustin Fletcher is actually a ruckman but hasnt figured it out yet.

Lobbe is not a ruckman

 

[THE BRICKMAN]

Pick 47: St.Kilda: Daniel Hannebery: Can play down back and also go into the midfield with good pace and great foot skills he will be a good pick up for the saints.

would be a complete steal, is only in year 11 and would go first round next year ,http://www.sportingpulse.com/team_i...00801&pname=Daniel Hannebery&news_task=DETAIL

Will be doing mine just after the trade period, so all the draft picks are finalised. I'm sure they'll be a heap more leading up into trade week, will start heating up after the Grand Final.

So you wouldn't have given Adelaide pick 10 either?

 

[DexterK]

Can someone confirm for me the priority pick arrangement for this year. How does WC end up with one. Sometimes I think we may look back on this decade of list developement and wonder if teams fortunes are linked more to which year they sucked than how much. With RIC apparently trading with BRI before their pick moved up two spots due to the CAR penalty, the constant changes to the priority picks and the new GC17 consessions making life hard for battling teams for the next few years.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

We got a priority pick at the end of round 1 for failing to win 5 games.
