Paige Cardona's Phantom Draft 5.0

[Mullayo]

Is that why you tried to re-sign Boyd even before he went up there?
Judging a 19 y/old on a body of work of one season is stupidity . Enough nonsense please

No stupidity is paying a 19 y/old based on a body of work of one season $7m.
Then in the same week losing your captain, coach and Brownlow medallist that just beggars belief.
Enough with the nonsense please.

I don't get why Blakely is so underrated. I watched his highlight youtube and he seems pure class to me.
Inside player with outside distribution and makes time with his feet like all the greats. Good height and frame. What am I missing? He seems a 10-12 pick for me.

Maybe Paige could answer that? He goes 33 on yours and 31 on Knightmare's I don't get it.
I want him at 23 for GWS.
Also you and Knightmare have us taking Ahern at 7, is there some reason for this?
Seems a reach. Knightmare ranks him 31.

He has great agility and steps through traffic really well but his kicking whilst being serviceable is not that penetrating or efficient at times . He also missed the combine due to injury which means that other have overtaken him with good results . If he was to last to our 2nd pick at 31 I would be stoked

I love the boy on tape, good intangibles and his appetite for the contest stands out a mile. In 4 games at the champs he had 23 plus in all but one game and a tackle count of 9, 8, 6 & 4. Can find the footy well enough and lay tackles, a decent blueprint to start off with? Youd think he projects well at AFL level. Kicking not too much to read into, if there's anything there youd think it gets adressed when he finds his way to a club. If they can fix NicNat or Sandilands then i reckon he'll be alright haha. Plenty to work with here you'd think. Value pick. If he does slide like you guys suggest hopefully the pies can grab him @ 30!

The brownlow medalist is 29 and coming to the end .
The nonsense is this small time phoney war you lot are starting . You missed with Buddy and now your dirty on Boyd.
Who apparently in one month of football is now shithouse . You need some star factor up there as let's face it Sydney folk have the sporting interest level of about 5 seconds

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Great read. This Draft would be a dream result for North, addressing most of their needs. If the cards fell this way north could rookie a tall defender to cover injuries and retirements in their aging defense.

Best mock I have read yet.
Not sure Melbourne will take McCartin who is hogan like. Reckon lever or wright more likely.

I quite like big Max Gawn as a forward though. Would have thought a true KPP rather than a fwd/ruck would be on the cards.

We've got Jeremy Cameron he got 62 goals in his first season. I and most GWS fans were glad we didn't get Buddy, from the fallout we got Mummy who was really important this year and going forward. We have stars Treloar, Callan Ward, Mummy and now Griffen. Plus Will Hoskins Elliot is about to explode as is Lachie Whitfield, and Josh Kelly in a couple of years. You lot started the war by running your franchise into the ground and alienating your captain.
Boyd is a big baby and a maybe. Before your lippy chairman started mouthing off I would have traded Boyd for Griffen straight. But to get pick 6 and $1m is gravy. It's all good in GWS, not so much Western Melbourne. Anyway, there's going to be ongoing nonsense, haven't you heard, we are now bitter rivals!

So much about this is funny I don't know where to start. Lol

 

[CasuallyDressed]

So much about this is funny I don't know where to start. Lol

Why?

The only funny thing is trading Boyd for Griffin straight swap. I'd be fuming if that happened as a GWS fan.

Buddy is an amazing player but GWS are hardly in dire need of forwards...

 

[Over the Fence]

What has all this about Boyd got anything to do with Paige's phantom draft? Go and pollute some other wall!

What has this thread got to do with Paige's phantom draft? Basically she posted a draft then abandoned the thread, not answering questions or offering opinions so I guess we can do what we want while we wait.

So they didn't Want Buddy ? No worries .

They needed Franklin to gain some traction in the Sydney market.
Sydney have gained significant coverage from his signing on field and off. GWS despite what the poster wishes, needed Franklin.
To claim he would take a 29 year old for the number 1 pick is nonsense in the extreme, and as for the phoney war .
Please

I would swap the AFL ratings 5th ranked player for 581 because we need to win now to retain our list. We'd have taken Buddy sure but no way at that price.
Basically all Bulldogs comments are coloured by the fact they haven't had a big forward in years and are rabid about it and don't care what they pay. Stop projecting your personal/personnel problems on everyone else it's embarrassing.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Essendon only have two live picks in the draft (17 and 20) and Ambrose is being promoted at 62.

Love De Goey at 17, want this kid bad!

Any chance of Hugh Goddard sliding to 20?

Yeah it could happen if Goddard is available at 17 we could take him at 20, only have to worry about Carlton but they did take Kane Lucas over Daniel Talia

 

[eth-dog]

If Goddard hasn't been taken at Fremantles pick they will almost certainly be taken there.

Aren't you paying half of Griffens contract?
To lose your captain, coach, a truckload of money and your first round draft pick on a guy that's played 8 games is crazy. Good luck to you tho I hope it pays off, and it'd bloody want too.
As for star factor, I'd take Cameron, treloar, Whitfield, ward, Shiel, Patton over Boyd, macrae, stringer and bontempelli ANYDAY.

Lets be honest, you'd take both...Stevens and........help me with the rest of your upcoming stars please...

Sorry we weren't talking about stkilda. And no I wouldn't take both.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Excellent effort Paige....I reckon your Phantom is far & away the best & most accurate of them all!....FWIW, I agree with all of your selections for the Hawks barr Wilkinson at pick 50. If Josh Glenn is still available at that pick, then we'd take him for sure!

 

[Barrels]

Lets be honest, you'd take both...Stevens and........help me with the rest of your upcoming stars please...

Stevens plays for your mob. If you're going to be a smartarse at least be an accurate one.

Now stop derailing the thread.

I'd be worried about your own list if I were you.
Just in case you hadn't noticed GWS have had the pick of the young players over the years . Good luck to them
