Last year was easy to get the first 11 right, but 2020 I think Cal was baited.

North going the Mid over the forward didn’t help he‘s Phantom

 

[adammania9]

Ash Johnson is from WA.

He was recruited from Sturt

 

[adammania9]

Name a top 30 WA player we’ve avoided selecting in the past 5 years who we should have taken. Otherwise, there’s absolutely no evidence to back up what you’re claiming, it’s purely coincidental.

Aaron Naughton

 

[adammania9]

....apart from sanitation, roads, education, law and order, economic stability, culture and the arts, medicine and the aqueducts ...what have the Western Australians ever done for us??

So four since Fasolo, and one since 2014, none of whom will play 50 games for Collingwood.

 

[Obeanie1]

Sounds like Phillipou lives in a bubble where there is nothing but praise and adulation from family and friends.

Eventually someone with runs on the board is going to give him a serve and burst his bubble. Be interesting to see how he responds to criticism and discovering he's not special

Being drafted top 10 in the AFL draft is special btw.

 

[Lore]

Cal got 1/3 for us in 2020. He is good, but we have kept our cards pretty close to our chests this year.

Past years are judged on the late mail he gets two hours before the draft, too.

What he says on Saturday and what he says at 3pm on Monday can be quite different, and Essendon are always playing cat and mouse with this stuff anyway. The higher our first pick, the less reliable the phantoms are

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Why the low shot? Not called for and unnecessary!

Well not exactly, truth may hurt, but its still the truth.

 

[tenderwarrior]

Apart from Ruscoe.
Other than him, who was the last?

Chris Tarrant

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Fletcher is massively high at 10 for a kid in a back brace or though I have thought Carlton would bid for the last Month

i personally think that's to put clubs off bidding early.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Yay the Vanilla midfielder who doesn't two way run and tackle

Far from vanilla.

 

[blueiris]

No he’s injured won’t be available to mid season apparently according to Cal the other day and honestly I don’t see it putting clubs off bidding

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

The Blues are the Oakland A's and Nick Austin is Billy Beane

In that despite everyone talking about them, they actually haven't won anything in decades and certainly didn't win shit during the Moneyball era?

 

[hawkinoz]

Good see Davey being picked at his right spot, Fletcher seems too high. What do they know, we don't.

Will Don trade 22 out on that bid, with whom?

Saints won't pick Busslinger
Dogs are no chance of taking Allan
Mackenzie won't slip that far
Hewett is no chance at GWS's pick
Davey will not be bid on by WC
Dogs super unlikely to take George
Smith and Richards won't be top 30

This mock draft is probably the worst ever.

Essendon won't take Tsatas, leaving him for the Hawks
This mock draft is probably the worst ever.

Missed one there buddy, I agree. Total sham.

 

[triggering bro]

Twomey has Essendon taking Tsatas & Saints taking Phillipou which seems to be the most contested predictions in the top 10. McGowan has stated Essendon are favouring Tsatas over Phillipou & said Saints will take the one Ess don’t take. McGowan phantom will come out later today I think. But sounds like the two most connected draft journos have settled on the picks that shape the first round/10. I think Ess are making a massive mistake taking Tsatas over Phillipou. I’d be very happy if Phillipou slides to the Saints. Looks a genuine star.

 

[Two Planks]

We only need 1 change to the predicted order for it all to be turned on its head. Like Phillips a few years back.

Wouldn't surprise me if Gold Coast take Jhye Clark and all these predictions go out the window.

 

[FB19]

13, 37, Freo F1, Freo F2 for 6 getting closer to a deal you’d have to consider?

Not sure they’ll put 3 firsts on the table but rumours the Dees will put the Jackson trade package and maybe some more if needed to go up. That Freo first could be more valuable than 6 on its own this time next year

Where do I sign? Holy shit I don’t think freo make finals next year akin to the World Cup they have no one to kick my pals it’s a series of 0-0 draws

Agree. No one predicted the Phillips pick.

 

[FB19]

It’s an option

48. We will give blues 48 for 49 to facilitate the first live trade to get 35,36 from lions as we can’t trade 48 back to the lions.

The AFL won't allow that trade surely

 

[FB19]

They will as part of a three way trade with lions it’s clear how each team benefit. After all they allowed bowed and pick 7 to the premiers for a future third seems odd you have faith there is any governance. Depends on where the spin on the AFL governance wheel lands that’s the only explanation for the joke that is the AFL.

 

[Apex36]

Aaron Naughton

It’s arguable, but until Stephenson went off the rails, he was the standout of his draft. I don’t think you can definitively say that Naughton was blatantly overlooked just because he was from WA.

I doubt that as Carlton and Hawthorn swap picks directly and one is worth is less than the other.

Ok sorry it’s been done on our board to death.
Hawks give 41,50,52 to lions
Hawks give 48 to blues
Blues give 49 to lions
Lions give 35,36 to hawks
Easy.
