Hey guys, it's Jourdan from www.boundforglorynews.com

Tonight at 8pm, we are hosting a live phantom draft. There will be six of us drafting for the 18 teams, so three each.

I'm controlling Essendon, Carlton and the Swans.

Join us on twitter @bound4glorynews and my personal account is @jourdancanil - make sure you use the hashtag #bfgndraft too.

Keen to hear everyone's thoughts on who we should take at each pick. I'm thinking a quality outside mid at pick 19. Perhaps Lachie Weller if he is still there
 
If Goddard is there you take him, he's a better KPF for sure. If not, an inside mid of some description

think he is probably only top 10 key forwards of this year, where as he is clearly a top 5 key back.

Could reach and take someone like Touk Miller or Connor Menadue for a smokey pick. Maybe even Tom Wilkinson
 
Real life preferences are as follows:

19:
Ahern
Laverde
De Goey
Marchbank
Goddard

49:
Jarrod Garlett
Aidan Anderson
Lukas Webb
Josh Fox
Oscar McDonald

but it's a phantom, do whatever the hell takes your fancy. Will be watching on with interest :thumbsu:

Anderson and Webb look terrific at 49. Both are real game changers.
 
went with hugh goddard at pick 20. i really expected him to be gone. Was actually hoping for weller or menadue but both were gone. Goddard is a freak as a key back. will take a while if we want to develop him into a kpf

Best available. I know he has faults and it is whether he can be a KPF...but he is too good to pass at pick 20

I couldn't see GWS taking Blakely ahead of Goddard, especially if they take Brayshaw with their first pick. They've got plenty of ball winners but their KPDs (apart from Davis) don't look great - Mohr is rubbish, Frost won't be a star, and their best hope of having a superstar occupying every position on the ground currently seems to be converting McCarthy into a defender, which is very uncertain. With Goddard they'd be set (or if they took Durdin with their first pick and Blakely with the second). I'd be really pleased with us getting Goddard by the way, but I can't see the draft panning out like that.

Blakely is terrific though. Can't forget they have players like Corr and Jaksch as well to move down back. Their depth is certainly there.

I do like Blakely and would be happy for us to get him, but with Ward, Greene, Treloar, Shiel, Coniglio, and then Brayshaw, I don't see why the Giants would pick him. Jaksch looks likely to be traded and I can't really comment on Corr given I haven't seen much of him. They don't seem to have someone to take the 200+ Tippett/Daniher/Wright types - Goddard's only 195 but he's supposed to have good athleticism and physicality so could probably match up on them. Anyway this is mostly irrelevant - it looks like we'll be able to get a quality player with our pick. Hopefully Goddard.
