Blueboys7's Phantom Draft

[tancas]

Nice work dude
Good read.

This was his comment on your Phantom draft, now go back to his and read your comment. Do you feel bad yet?
The guy joined 1 month ago give him a break, especially after you put this at the beginning of your's "This is a needs based phantom draft and my first shot at compiling one so go easy on the negative feed back "

Just had a quick look and got a couple of more people for you to mock for not doing any reasoning behind their pick's.

Mate, why would I feel bad? This phantom actually took me a while to do, I actually had to think and put together my opinions on the draft. Not just feeding off everyone else and change my thoughts because someone tells me something different. Why don't you make a poll and find out how BF posters feel about drafts without explanations. A complete an utter waste of time an an insult to posters who take the time to put together a decent phantom draft. As I said before I am not talking up my draft but at least I had reasons for my selections.

FWIW Alexlol makes the same comment in every phantom so I take it with a grain of salt. It's simple, if you make a phantom draft you need explanations. It is just not worth it otherwise! It's pretty obvious, so get your head out of your arse

I'm on it mate, I'm sure I won't be the only one. There are plenty of posts out there putting forward the same ideal.

Ardent Eagle had explanations

Also had a quick look at OTB's draft and with limited replies 2 posters agree with me -

A 2 year old can do a mock draft like this. How about people giving explanations because Aaron Black at 4 is just stupid! Seriously if your going to make a selection like this at least tell the people why you are doing it

I swear if i read one more mock draft without explanations. Seriously Mods should delete them on site. It's a pure waste of time!

Hardly suprising...you're arguing a lost cause and to put it plainly - you are just looking stupid.

As an essendon supporter i disagree that we need to select a ruckmen from this years draft, we have enough clogging our list already....Kpp's yes but ruckmen No!!!

yeah we have a slight weakness in Hille is coming back from injury, not to many ruckmn come back from knees either, so there is a big risk!!! but with Hille we have Ryder, Laycock (i have lost faith but would be better then most of this years talent), Bellchambers (he sucks, couldnt get a game past quinn say's it all), and people forget we have a talented yet raw rookie player in Christian Bock, he was our only rookie to survive the cut and if he puts a bit of weight on well we might have unearthed a valuable commodity...

I think will draft melksham if available, evertyhing sounds good, people say he is like dal santo/hayes but from what I saw he looked more like a young Luke Power, if we overlook our midfield...again, i hink we will draft Talia just to stick it up carlton again, whilst tall he can play a chad cornes midfield role thats just my opinion...I think then we can balance it out by selecting christensen or other best available midfielders in picks 24 and 26... oru last pick we need some genuine toughness in the mould of a Rooke in our side...

The 'x-factor' trait weren't the main reasons for my selections. If the draft panned out with Bastinac and Taylor going to WC with those two picks then you would think they would try there hand at someone like Tapscott, Melksham or a slider. But because I wanted to address that need for a HFF (Rohan could become a hell of a lot more than that) to release Lecras to the midfield.

By the time I got to pick 22 I thought Bastinac was the best midfielder available and then Taylor was the next best available. The selection of the reliable and consistent Bastinac made me more comfortable selecting Taylor but obviously stilll had doubts. I toyed with the idea of Crichton as I rate him quite highly and would probably select him. Possibly Carey or Hutchings (who both slid a bit).

I see what you mean and a balance between consistency and x-factor is something to consider but non the less noth Rohan and Taylor could be absolute quality players, whether WC would take a risk such as this is another matter.

I would love that draft Blueboy's, I dont think West Coast fans have a problem with Troy Taylor.

Its just that info from the club is we are not interested and haven't interviewed him at all.

Also his mother expresed misgivings about WCE.

That all adds up to us not taking him.

Bastinac would be a terrific pick up, and would enjoy playing at subi.

My personal choice for 23 would be Colyer because he fills a void we need filled.

Overall I thought it was a reasonable draft for WCE but on a rethink I do think Colyer would be a good fit especially if you pick up a HFF to release Lecras. If Moore slid I think he would be the perfect player for you to select. I did hear about Taylor's mum's wishes buy chose to ignore it for this purpose

Bastinac is a bit under rated on these boards and come the real thing may go the first round.
