To be fair, the point of phantoms is to try guess how the draft will play out. So that should mean that most would be pretty similar.

Soooooo watching pre draft review. Mick Ablett reckons Dow, Ballenden and Coleman-Jones.... wtf? I do agree though, think we’ll be lucky to get ballenden out of the first round though

My guess at this stage is that 1 is quite safely Rayner and 18 is quite likely Bailey.
15 is the interesting one. Obviously it would seem to be Fogarty if he gets there, but if not, I think we'd be really hoping Jack Higgins gets there. Whichever one of those two slides to 15 is the one I'd think we'll take (if both are somehow still there, I think we'll go Fogarty).
The sixth pick (alongside those three and the two academy kids) is going to be fascinating. Complete wildcard. If the bid for Connor comes late, we could well nab a quality slider - Petruccelle, Constable, Worpel, Garner, Miers, even potentially Matt Ling (which would be an outstanding result). Players we've speculated as possibilities for 18 may end up falling to us in the 40s. Fascinating night ahead.

That was recorded over a month ago - fair bit has changed since then
That show is a month old, first aired shortly after the combine.
Seriously they have no clue on team needs and club information when they recorded it.

Might be getting carried away think it will be first 3 picks, Balla and Payne. Balla ain't getting near pick 40.

All word out of the club is that we'll take 6 picks tonight, so I think we will see that happen. If Ballenden gets bid on earlier, that last pick will just fall a fair bit later in the draft and we'll be taking a real smokey.

So lets hope Ballenden and Payne go nice and late and we can use a pick in the 40's on a slider like Worpel.
Try at 6pm/7pmAEDT.

Mick Ablett is a clown, saying Freo should not pick the best player just locals "in case they leave". Jesus.
Are we going to have an official draft day thread or will we just keep all the discussion in here?

Reckon the club reps are all wishing these guys would just shut up so they can get on with it

So the phantom they just put up had Ballenden bid on at 39.
Any chance we get to pick 40 & 44 without a bid?
