Game of Thrones phantom draft

[SydneyPhilly]

I think Tywin Lannister deserves a mention. Great leader who always battles through adversity despite the odds.

I hear his skills go down the toilet when he's matching up against his family though.


I think The Red Viper might be a late rounder at best; a tagger who lets his opponent die of leather poisoning. Matched up well against Gregor Clegane though.

Edmure Tully might be worth a look. Captaining a contender at his age. If only his accuracy were up to snuff he'd be a top 10 pick.

 

[NarniMagic]

As a coach not a player, surely?

You're questioning the logistics when arya is a first rounder but that is a good point haha

 

[Aarick13]

sandor clegane a good pick for a team looking for a premiership. not too loyal, but he loves the contest. wouldnt be a good tagger though. if his opponent catches fire he will be no where to be seen.

what about king robert. built like a jason dunstall and just gobbles up the footy.

 

[JOELY]

I'd pick the Red Viper Oberyn Martell over Clegane any day.

Where is the love for Daenerys?

Surely worth a late pick.

Pros:
Comes from good bloodlines.
Strong Leadership potential
Completely fearless and highly competitive
Spoke well at the interview phase
"I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take a premiership with fire and blood"


Cons:
Will need to control her fiery temperament
Can be flighty and easily distracted
Could get easily homesick (despite never actually having lived at home)

Project player, will take too long to develop and show any payoff. Also, discipline is an issue.

Another possible late to rookie pick is Ser Davos. He can sail through stormy matches. Although intelligent, he may struggle with instructions written on the board during team meetings and has been known to question his leadership group and coaching staff. This is not due to any lack of team loyalty, rather an innate common sense when it comes to the game. May also struggle due to finger injury on one hand.

7. Ned Stark

One does not simply.. ignore a player of this calibre at pick 7. Regarded by some as the second best player in the draft, Ned Stark is tall, strong and just does everything well, and has genuine leadership qualities. Capable of playing anywhere, but probably better suited to defence.

" Ned tends to lose his head when the pressure is on."

 

[mattyc75]

what about littlefinger?always one step ahead of his opponents..

 

[willba_victory]

St Kilda better not pick up Tyrion Lanniseter...

 

[Hayes4PM]

Arthur Dayne, Sword of the Morning, who could kill all these guys with his left hand while taking a piss with his right.

 

[Kyptastic]

Rhaegar Targaryen had the potential to be the greatest of all, but was cut down by a crude effort from Robert Baratheon, who managed to piss his considerable talent away.

Overrated Tourney Knight who got smashed by good contested-style in Robert Baratheon.

Typical Stags fan. Never have anything good to say about a Dragon's player.

NO SANDOR CLEGANE?! WHAT IS THIS?!

Goes missing when the heat comes on.

Arya is the only Stark I'd consider, the rest are honest battlers who give their best but poor decision making can be costly. Can see Theon Greyjoy going home first opportunity.

Guy is just a walking injury.

True. Heard Bran Starks legs are in a bad way too, can't see him getting over that.

 

[Cyclops]

Look all the Stark boys could end up F/S with the Dogs. Cruel to say it but Bran looks like he doesn't have the legs for senior footy, Rickon however would be tempting in a few years.

edit -oh Pie, you pipped me on the Bran legs gag.

Where is the love for Daenerys?..

Derek Hine for one was concerned about getting burnt taking a player from outside traditional football states.

 

[Pie in the Sky]

Targaryen has some great weapons, capable of being the most damaging player in the game, just a question of whether she can use them effectively.

 

[mattyc75]

True brans legs may be shot but in important moments he seems to grow wings and his vision(s) are second to none

pls, spoilers.

 

[coryne]

Think Jaime Lannister may slide due to injury...

But you are happy with Ned Stark's selection at #7 ??? I hear he totally lost his head at the combine when he was put to the sword during the interview process ................

" Ned tends to lose his head when the pressure is on."

Damn I knew my joke would have already been used ..............

 

[RickSanchez]

I hate you all so much

 

[TheLastEmperor]

I don't care who we take, as long as we don't draft Joffrey.

He did well at the Champs.....For Tassie.
