Looks like you have just slightly adjusted the order of the BF phantom draft. Anyways, phantom drafts without explanations are boring and generic.

No, and this is the whole point of a phantom draft. Anyone can read a few threads on BigFooty and put 50 names together in a reasonable order... a mock draft without explanations offers absolutely no insight because whilst you could be putting Player A higher than expected, you are providing no reason for doing so.

My suspicion is that you, like several others on this board, just read the work of the likes of foj1, Quigley, Snoop Dog and co and simply rehash it in various forms, most notably the famed "no explanation" mock draft. As Tommyneu said that is nearly identical to the BF Phantom Draft anyway... how coincidental is it that you have WC picking Naitanui, Strauss, Walters and Zaharakis - exactly as in the phantom draft? I mean I am glad you are excited about the draft but I don't need people claiming to watch kids and know a bit about them when they don't. This board is diluted enough with crap as it is.

In conclusion, I appreciate the effort and enthusiasm but I don't think you have any real idea about this year's draftees. Leave the phantom drafts to the watchers who have seen these kids countless times over 2+ years and can write 1-2 paragraphs on their strengths and weaknesses.

 

[buddie love]

just a few questions.
y wud geelong take cahill??
and alos davis to freo?? even tho hawks have shown huge interest?

 

[Mario the Lothario]

Yarran- We have Harvey, Thomas, Campbell, Jones and Ben Ross.

Suban- We desperately need key defenders and we pass up Post for Suban?

Tom Hill- Hale, McIntosh Goldstein and Petrie. We have arguably the best ruckman not currently getting a game in the seniors in Todd Goldstein and we are going to draft a ruckman with our third pick?

For all I know the draft may actually occur that way, but it still won't stop me from scratching my head.

Hill, Sidebottom or Swift for Yarran.
Post for Suban.
Just about all the players from picks 44 onwards for T. Hill.

i struggle to see why collingwood would take beams over a shuey or zaharakis when he's an interstate kid. Generally, clubs who are looking for a specific sort of player with the same sort of mould etc, will take the one from home state.

and Whats the point of posting a phantom draft without explaining why you have certain players where?

 

[dodgy business]

It seems as if Hurley will be going to Carlton and that Blease is locked into Collingwood according to thesse phantom drafts.

I wish we had a "lock" that I actually liked!

Yet I keep opening these threads like a lemming...

 

[doggies ftw]

If Rhys Okeefe goes to geelong with pick 33 after pick 32 and 31 I will shoot our board!

Well BigFooty Lock means Nothing but I would not mind at All if we drafted Blease

 

[Porps_is_HOT_loz]

My thoughts would be OMG amazing.
And my actions will be jumping up and down.

If thats what Crows got. Honestly I dont think we need to aim for a KP until around the 3rd round because of Walker eg. but YES.

Sidebottom
Heyne
Pearce



Anyway good draft.. its just like the bigfooty phantom draft though...

Just goes to show how underated Suban is on here. If we took Suban with pick 27 i'd be doing backflips.

 

[__aria__]

north melbourne are really crying out for small forwards you are 100% correct

Are you talking to me? If so, you do realise Suban isnt a small forward

 

[bellzy]

I think he was referring to the OP.

I'm with you though, Suban would be outstanding at 27.

 

[budge11]

Yarran, Suban and Hill?

I like it. Hill could probably be reworked a bit, maybe best avail key position defender instead.

Post for Suban.

I don't reckon Posty is worth a 2nd rounder. I'd take Suban over Post here

Good. Put him at full back then.

 

[binround]

Suban is agood get at 27 and Tom Hill will go higher than a lot of people think. I wouldn't be too unhappy super mario

It's not as if I'm any expert mate. I am a person that supports drafting for needs, within reason anyway.

I am peeved at the clubs drafting mentality of recent years as it has left us with a very lopsided list.

 

[Eagle Ant]

Not a bad job Kid!!!
Good effort but I suggest from now on try to give your own idea's rather then using what other people think.
Spend time on explanations and reasons rather then studying other opinions.

Remember a lot of these idiots think they are coaching their team rather then being a supporter and if you go out side you own club expect to be hammered by more informed people ok.

And the rest of you!!! leave the poor kid alone honestly its like watching Vultures at work. Naughty Naughty
