List Mgmt. 2013 DRAFT

[Sublime]

Maybe he will, maybe he won't. His draft range varies from 30-60 on the AFL meet the draftees profile.



A little like Casboult when he first came down to us.

That's exactly what i was thinking.

Hourigan has the same red rosy cheeks as Casboult too. Twins!

 

[LemmingMaster]

At least Hourigan knows how to kick a ball.

 

[BM123]

Casboult is a enigma. Takes a awesome mark then he shanks it sideways...

 

[BluStreak]

PLAY NICE PEOPLE: PLAY THE BALL, NOT THE MAN

ANY FURTHER INSULTS WILL RESULT IN INFRACTIONS

Finally infractions. Essendon board.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Those people that get impressed by someone predicting the rough order of the draft, I ask you this question.

What is more impressive.

2009 Draft:

1. Scully
2. Trengove
3. Martin
4. Morabito
5. Cunnington
6. Rohan
7. Sheppard
8. Butcher
9. Moore
10. Melksham
11. Gysberts
12. Lucas
13. Talia
14. Jetta
15. Howard

or

1. Fyfe
2. Martin
3. Carlisle
4. Cunnington
5. Talia
6. Duncan
7. Gunstan
8. Jetta
9. Christensen
10. Scully
11. Trengove
12. Reid
13. Vardy
14. Lucas
15. Pittard

So while one got the order correct, the second person potentially picked the better players.

I like a phantom drafter that goes against the grain a little and attempts to back in their concepts. No doubt they will be wrong more often than the professionals, but that is half the fun.

Does Hourigan have the endurance and speed to play as a KPF or third tall like Darling, Crameri and Andrew Walker?

He'd need it given he's not a man mountain like Casboult who can clunk them.

 

[Sublime]

Can we employ a mad scientist who can combine Hourigan & Casboult into one player? Casboults marking with Hourigans kicking?

Just sayin'.

That's not really the point of phantoms, it's just like peaking at your christmas presents early, there really isn't anything else to it.
Besides no one can know how a player wil develop at AFL level, njuries etc, a brilliant juniour can struggle at AFL level.
All I use phantoms for are to see who is around the mark for Carlton to pick then i look up those payers and try to get to know them a bit better so I can be excited or depressed on draft day.

What the hell are we gonna do with a 5 assed Casboult?

we all seem to be very hard on Kane but doing a stats comparison he had a better season than Ducan, Trengove, Scully, and Jetta while playing about half of the career games as these boys. So there's room for natural improvement that comes with getting more experience.
I declare the Kane Lucas is shit myth officially BUSTED

I think we're only having three selections? (Pick #51 will be our last).

 

[Omega Blue]

and hourigan at 59 would be a dream

 

[Silvagnis]

What the hell are we gonna do with a 5 assed Casboult?

Trade it to St Kilda?

 

[Mister Carlton]

Trade it to St Kilda?

BIG BOY BOLT.

If he learns to stick a tackle opinions on him will quickly change

Your vision of a phantom draft is to reproduce what will happen in the AFL. My preferred version of a phantom draft is to select based on my own personal rankings.

Both are valid concepts and if you're looking for one that matches the real deal, then it will be easy to find a heap of them before the real draft.

The tricky bit is getting the right brain.

Definitely looks a little chunky...

Could Hourigan possibly be a challenger to M. Watson for worlds biggest cranium?




I dunno htf you found that gif. but he obviously isnt well...

 

[No1Suspect]

What the hell are we gonna do with a 5 assed Casboult?

Could work well holding all three defenders at bay....??

 

[MileHigh]

Hourigan! Take him with our second pick. Play him as an out-and-out full forward. Gimme some of that old fashioned FF thuggery. Lockett, Dunstall, J Brown and even our boy Fevola. Yeeooww!!

 

[Silvagnis]

Post inspired by beowulf and zeeCFC.

Is Hourigan another Luke Mitchell?

Name is too similar to hooligan. Pass.

 

[Dramoth]

What the hell are we gonna do with a 5 assed Casboult?

invest in a toilet paper company...

 

[Jeremias]

My knowledge of the draftees this year is very limited, but I can't say I'm hugely in favour of taking Hourigan at 39.

Almost every year there seems to be a forward at that undesirable 'in-between' height who slips down the order come draft day. Just last year we saw Tim Membrey slide into the late 40s because despite playing as somewhat of a 'power forward' who didn't quite have the height to match.

Hourigan seems a similar case. Stylistically in the mould of a traditional power forward without the body to match. Despite being rated reasonably highly by some, it would not surprise me in the slightest should he be available at 39 and it would be equally unsurprising should he still be on the board at our 3rd pick.
