Phantom Draft - 2006

Grub got my boy D-Mac, nice pick up

Lads I'm at work and therefore can't post much till later. Tough decision as there are at least 5 players I want. However, I'm trying to achieve a relatively balanced draft.

Pick 50 -West Coast Eagles - Rhyce Prismall (Western Jets)

HBF wont be happy haha

We could keep going to 52 if we want to as Carlton and Freo have free spots on their list and thus are certain to use these picks. Kangaroos don't have a free spot so we'd have to stop there. But I'm happy to stop at 50 if that's what everyone else is happy with.

Thoroughly enjoyed the draft so far, good work guys. Will get even more interesting from here on in.

Nah, don't think HBF rates him as highly as i do. Besides, HBF has gone relatively small so far anyway.

 

[Salaryman]

SMS from HugeBluesFan in Noosa, he is happy to take his pick if you guys want to go up to 52.

 

[sinepari]

Yep I reckon we do that.

Carlton selection #51 - Shaun Hampson (Mt Gravatt, QLD) - 202cm, 93kg.

Badly need a young developing ruckman on our senior list, especially with the departure of French and DeLuca. While we may look to draft tall next year again, we think Hampson represents excellent value at #51 and despite probably being behind Renouf and Jacobs at this stage, he could well eventually move past the other ruckmen in the draft with further development. He is relatively recent convert to the game, and has a lot of upside. Is quick for a guy of 200+cm, directs his taps well and was heavily nominated by AFL clubs to attend draft camp.


Via SMS from HBF so profile to come.

And that selection makes this a good draft for Carlton.

But what type of player would we take at pick 67 if we landed four mids and a ruckman?

Best available.

 

[Salaryman]

Best available.

Easier said than done at #67

WH would still have his favourites.

 

[Silvagnis]

Best available.

Can you imagine the outcry if the best available player at one is Leuenberger?

Some will want Jake Williams.

 

[Salaryman]

WH would still have his favourites.

TGR, there is one very clear distinction between WH and us though. WH knows exactly what he is doing

 

[Boy from the West]

FREMANTLE SELECTS Calib MOURISH (East Fremantle)

Outstanding talent and probably best suited to a West Aussie team due to perveived go home factor.

Ability to play CHF and CHB. Big body, great overhead mark who will develop into a match winner.

great get at pick #52, was hoping he'd last to my next pick, but that was wishful thinking . Makes my next pick very tough.

 

[HBF]

Exactly right.
Still a few that could slip IMO that I would be very happy to take at #67.

So true !

 

[Scottroo]

so im first up after list lodgement?

 

[krisholio14]

if youve got pick #53 scott you are indeed up next.

 

[macca69]

so im first up after list lodgement?

If the kangaroos free up another spot on their list, then yes, you have the next pick.

 

[Snoop Dog]

I think given the talent in this years draft we should do a 3 rookie rounds post the National Draft
