Now that trades are done attention switches to the draft and with 5 weeks until it happens there is only so much chatter about #lolbrowne and Monte Carlo biscuits that can discussed to fill the void.

With that in mind I'm setting up an unofficial Phantom Draft for those who want to see what won't happen on draft night, because let's face we have as much clue about the draft as #lolbrowne has about footy in general.

Draft will begin no earlier than 9am Saturday 27th October. Posters will have 24 hours to make their pick or they will get next rated player using AFL Draft Central power rankings issued to them. Picks will be as they stand at 5pm next Friday as clubs are able to still trade picks.

With the following teams left to be chosen

Collingwood first pick 41
Essendon first pick 34
Hawthorn first pick 53

The Phantom draft can begin Saturday at 9am with Carlton up first. That means Michaels _Cayz_ prodigy need to get together and pick the next Ben Lennon/Corey Ellis type.

 

[_RT_]

Also there will be no bidding on Father/Son or Academy kids. If you want to take them then feel free to do so. As I said it's all about getting a general idea and wasting a bit of time until the actual draft rolls around in 4 weeks time.

With these clubs having their picks so late why wait until 9:00am Saturday ?? Just start it now and if nobody wants these team we can just cover them amongst us - Just start now i say

I believe that will distort the PD and we know that the clubs have already made their picks available to take these players, Better way would be that when they are bid on their club automatically takes them

With pick 1 in the draft, Carlton take:

Jack Lukosius, South Australia
194cm
85kg


OVERVIEW

South Australia’s Jack Lukosius is undoubtedly one of the most talked-about draft prospects in recent memory. Regarded by some draft watchers as a once-in-a-generation talent, Lukosius has played predominately as a key forward at state, club and school level, but has also demonstrated his skills at centre-half back from time-to-time. In 2017, ‘Luko’ played all four games for South Australia at the National Under 18s Championships as a bottom-ager, booting five goals and reinforcing his credentials as a serious talent to look out for.

Later that season he made his senior South Australian National Football League (SANFL) debut for Woodville-West Torrens at age 17, booting four goals. If that was not impressive enough, the game happened to be a preliminary final. From that point on, Lukosius was a mainstay of the Eagles side, adding a point-of-difference in attack as that roaming third-tall. Expected to be the headline act in a star-studded South Australian side at this years carnival, Lukosius averaged 14 disposals, seven marks and kicked nine goals in his four matches – consequently named an All-Australian in what was a strong, yet expected set of performances.

STRENGTHS

• Kicking
• Leading patterns
• Work rate
• Acceleration
• Cleanness
• Football IQ

Perhaps Lukosius’ best attribute is his kicking. Jack has some of the best foot skills in the draft pool, as was emphasised by scores of 23/30 and 25/30 in the kicking and goalkicking tests in Octobers National Combine. You would be hard pressed to find a cleaner, more fluid action than his, both in general play and when kicking for goal. Lukosius is not afraid to back his skills in-game, pinpointing more difficult options at will in a best-on-ground performance against Western Australia. Additionally, the blend of speed, agility and mobility allows him to effortlessly gain separation between his direct opponent on the lead, at-times gaining 10-20 metres of separation and appearing as if he has no match-up at all. Many defenders simply do not have the capacity to keep up with him for the games entirety. When the ball hits the deck, Lukosius remains in the game thanks to his cleanness below his knees – a trait rarely associated with a player of that size.

Unlike many other early selections in recent years, Jack Lukosius is not your stay-at-home key forward. A key component of his game is his ability to venture off down the wings to help link up the play. It is not unusual to see him pop up around centre half-back when the ball is down in the opposition half. He has a strong endurance base (reached level 21.2 in the combine yo-yo test) and is able to cover enormous distances in his travels. This allows him to collect tallies of marks relatable to that of St.Kilda great Nick Riewoldt, the great majority of which come in an uncontested manor. Not only does Lukosius have the skill, athleticism and work rate, the Henley High School product is also a very intelligent player. At-times he appears to be floating across the defensive half of the ground, positioning himself perfectly to take an intercept mark. Although a smaller observation, it was worth noting that Lukosius, particularly in the game against Victoria Country, hovered approximately 30-40 metres out from goal when the opposition was kicking-in and was able to drift in and intercept on a couple of occasions. The SA vice-captain has also been known to conjure a clever handball out the back when necessary. He also uses these smarts to position himself in a space where he is able to help link up the play when down in defence, but also give himself time, using his speed and endurance, to impact in attack when the ball moves forward.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Contested Marking
• Strength

Whilst there are very few flaws in his game, clubs wanting a dominant, contested-marking key forward will struggle to find those qualities in Lukosius. As has been previously mentioned, ‘Luko’ is not the type to haul down a big contested mark or break open a pack. In-fact, he may not even fly for these marks, instead preferring to stay balanced at ground level where his cleanliness and skills hold him in good stead. This may be as a result of his lack of strength. At 196cm and 84kg, he has at least a couple of kilograms to build up, which will be no problem for clubs when he enters their elite programs. However he will never be that monster key forward, and clubs will be well aware of this, as Lukosius offers plenty of other attributes.
