1. Melb - Nick Naitanui - STRONG word they are thinking about him and why not? watts will be a gun but NicNat could be a freak like we have never seen. Not only is he athletically amazing but he also sets a tempo with his aggression that the young dees will follow. this is the most balls the dee have shown in over 5o years!

2. WC - Daniel Rich - the weagles go into shock after Melb takes Nat and need their full 2 minutes with intense discussion. In the end they love Rich and worsfold knows that midfields wins flags

3. Freo - Jack Watts - Freo are nervous that another Vic will leave them but watts is so clearly the best available they just have to. Harvey seen daydreaming about pavlich as a full time midfielder after the draft.

4. Port - Tyrone Vickery - After all the drama port take the only choice for them. will play as a key forward they badly need while Brogan.Lade wind up and then take over the ruck

5. Essendon - Michael Hurley - a lot of choice for nights but he wants to build a super strong defence to counter the rebound that will come from his fast moving high risk, game plan and Hurley is easily the best defender.

6. Carlton - Jackson Trengrove - highly rated by the blues and is the tall and athletic defender they need. hoping he will soon release Waite.

7. Brisbane - Jack Ziebell - want to rebuild their midfield and Voss loves him. Will be a good fit.

8. Richmond - Steele Sidebottom - Richmonds needs some more inside players and Steele is a classy as they come. Will be a good fit.

9. North Melbourne - Hamish Hartlett - North went in wanting the best miid fielder available and he is it. will add much needed pace and skill to the north midfield

10. Adelaide - Lewis Johnston - crows need more forwards and jonstone is the forward the need

11. Collingwood - Tom Swift - everyone was waiting for it and the pies are going to take the risk. could be a dud or a gun nothing in between and if he is a gun he could bring the pies a flag in the nest couple of years

12. Sydney - Sam Blease - Roos sees his honest, contested footy is past it and wants more x factor and speed. blease has both and with Ves and Bird will be the classy future of the swans

13. St. Kilda - Stephen Hill - Looking at a guy who at worst plays half back and at best mid field he is an athletic machine who the saints expect to play footy very quickly.

14. Bulldogs - Ayce Cordy - Father Son

15. Geelong - Aaron Cornelius - Cats see him as a quality forward and the forward line is their hole. With Hawkins coming, Corn gives them security and the possibility of a killer forward line even when Johnson moves into the middle more over the next two years

16. Hawks - Jordan Lisle - Hawks have got the eye firmly on him. a couple of others have slipped and they think long and hard, but they love this kid and see him as a big part of their future back line.

17. Melbourne - Shaun McKernan - They cannot believe he is here. they have had buyers remorse since they took NicNat but this is their best out come. melbourne stocks have just soared as the got two athletic and versatile future guns.

18. West Coast - Chris Yarran - another team very excited to get a man they only dreamed would still be around. forward or midfield west coast love what this guy could do.

19. Melbourne - Mitch Robinson - future big man stocks are now amazing so they grab the next best mid available.

20 - West Coast - Jordan Roughead - a great get for the coasters and can help them build a formidable forward line or have a handy back up ruck if Seaby goes.

21. Fremantle - Nick Suban - need more inside ability and Suban is the man.

22. Port Adelaide - Rhys O'Keefe - Good runner and good kick. port have earmakred for a midfield role

23. Essendon - David Zaharakis - a worker who adds more grunt to a weak midfield

24. Fremantle - Neville Jetta - Another local and a good small forward replacent to sit at the feet of their new tall forward recruit

25. Brisbane - Matthew Broadbent - midfield focused. best available.

26. Richmond - Michael Walters - Like the look of him around goals and have midfield aspirations. hope he turns out better than rodan and krakouer.

27. North Melbourne - Luke Shuey - Adding to midfield again with another great ball winner

28. Adelaide - Tom Lynch - Grab another tall. Time to load up.

29. Collingwood - James Strauss - another god onballer for the pies and another that might play in 2009

30. Sydney - Daniel Hanneberry - good speed and skills to add to pies run

31. Bulldogs - Jayden Post - impressive and agile tall to add to their stocks

32. Bulldogs - Paul Cahill - they are fine in the midfield and flankers, so continue to load up on talls

33. Geelong - Mitch Brown - another forward option. still lots of questions but worth the risk for the cats

34. Hawthorn - Clancee Pearce - another backman. very tough and aggressive and will provide good run.
 
I love it as a freo supporter. Some might say we need mids with first pick, but i tell you. If Watts is there, there is no way Harvey will have to think about it.
Watts, Suban and Walters. I would be stoked.:thumbsu:

What I don't understand is that the majority of people seem to think that NN is the best athlete to have ever come out of the draft camp. Watts tested as well as anyone at the draft camp. 2nd fastest 20m, 2nd fastest agility and in the top 10 for repeated sprints and vertical jump. Naita is hailed as the best athlete because of one test, the Running Vert.

Also, have heard from a Melbourne Based Recruiter that this is how the draft will pan out so far. Couldn't believe when there was a possibility Rich could slip to 5. However, he thinks it is still very unlikely they won't select him

1. Watts - deadset lock
2. Naita - deadset lock
3. Rich/Yarran/Hurley - undecided
4. Vickery - already told him they will take him, they rate him as No.1
5. Rich/Hurley/Yarran - depends who slips
6. Hurley/Ziebell
 
I am nearly 100% sure Melbourne will get Watts.
Also Adelaide WONT get Johnston.. and if we do we will get a midfielder with our 2nd pick.

Good try though :thumbsu:

I'd be stoked with Rich and Yarren!!:D The best two possible players WC could draft with their first 2 picks. Both WA boys and perfect fits:thumbsu: Good job. Pick 20 i'd rather Pearce though, Eagles imo dont need a ruckman. Seaby is more than competent, and we've got 2 more developing.

Naitanui has better overall athleticism. He only tested marginally slower in the sprint but he is 7cm taller and probably 10kgs heavier. Naitanui also didn't have the best preparation and probably should have tested marginally better in everything.
 
i'll be happy if carlton take trengrove!
i rate him the most likely to make it as a gun key back in AFL as more athletic than hurley
was hyped as a top 3 pick b4 injury, soo would b a good pick up.
 
I would agree with NN going at number 1, :thumbsu:

The dee's would be crazy not to if you ask me.

Imagine the membership drive next year with him as the face of it.

He would become a demon colt figure that dee fans would come to watch from every where.

Although im hoping they take watts so we can get rich quick. :D

If Natanui went to Melbourne I would be bitterly disapointed if the Eagles then took Watts ! I agree with the OP that they would most likely go for Rich. I'm not so sure that Fremantle would then go for Watts however. I feel that a midfielder is more likely for their first pick, after all hasn't the Freo coach said publicly that they want a pacy midfielder ?
 
this is the best phantom draft ive see and you didnt just copy what everybody else has done. i like naitanui at pick one and trengrove at 6. the only problem ive got is it was only 2 round and i was just starting to get in to it. could you please do a part 2. i would love to see how you think the rest of the draft pans out.
 
3. Rich/Yarran/Hurley - undecided

Why wouldn't Hartlett be considered at freo's pick?? Also the legitimacy of your source is clearly in doubt as freo have come out and said they want midfielders, pacy ones at that. Yet here there is only one genuine midfielder in contention according to you?

It will most likely be: Rich/Hartlett and possibly Ziebell

I agree!! Also interesting cause johnston has had 3 interviews with adelaide .i hope he goes to collingwood,but i cant see that happening....
doesn't necessarily mean anything, it must also be noted that in the same post it was claimed that the crows would not pick up gary davies at pick 10. It is still to be determined who gary davies is.

He never said that name, i'm sure the fella meant Phil Davis and i'm sure you new that.

He DID say Gary Davies initially, before editing his post to the still incorrect "Davies" 40 minutes later. We knew he meant Phil Davis, but you don't exactly look credible when you can't even get a player's name right after two attempts.
Sure, he could end up correct, but that wouldn't necessarily prove anything. It was quite a vague post.
 
did you miss Schoenmakers in this or do you just not rate him top 34?
