Phantom Draft - Trial Run #1

[Snoop Dog]

Sorry lads - been away.

Hodgey - pls change my pick

# 108 - Collingwood - Lindsay Thomas 178cm 72kgs
Not sure if many of you saw him at Champs but kid has a little something special, kicked 3 in one of the finals. Also comes from Port which is the best 'training ground' for youngsters in SA.

Has played with Port reserves and got 42 touches in a game which is pretty remarkable. understand he has played a couple of senior games as well and would be considered one of the exciting prospects in the draft.

Probably best suited to FP and maybe later up the ground but I would be keen to hear from SA boys on his late season progress.

i wonder if there could be another rd, is there enough talent for another rd

This is getting ridiculous now. Brisbane PASS on Rd. 8,9,10,11...

 

[thenextbigthing1999]

just wondering do people actually have contacts about these player for example hav they talked to recruiters or is this simply an outsiders perspective??? would like to know thanks

 

[Bay Pie]

Are you guys sure Carlton and Essendon get priority picks? I thought I heard you have to have 2 years in a row of 16 premiership points or less to qualify for priority picks.

 

[sinepari]

we are sure.

Yer he is a good pickup mate, will go earlier in the real draft I would think. Dominated every level he has played bar SANFL and only really got a taste of that level. Definitely one to watch...he was my next pick lol.

No more Hodgey. Give us a week or two off so we can have a look at our tapes. Get it up and running again after trade week.

I dont think the Phantom Draft should go any further than 5 rounds, after that clubs will start to drop out.
After todays NAC & AFL Grand finals, I think the draft should be done again, now that we no the correct order. Also the Junior grand final today should have changed the positions of a few players. How about it?

 

[Deledio_Judd]

Yeah I Agree!

We were always going to do another phantom draft, but we'll wait until after trade week so we know what the final draft order will be.

Did Dean Kelly get picked up (yet)?

If so at what number?

Wiz_9 picked him up with our 3rd round pick (whatever number that was).

 

[sinepari]

Has Shane Edwards been talked about?

Has Shane Edwards been talked about?

He was mentioned in this thread as a possibility a while ago IIRC, but no one picked him up.

113. Sydney (Macca) ----------------------------- Fortunato Caruso
114. Adelaide (Thunderstruck)---------------------- Shane Edwards

Wizard_9 has had about 40 hours to pick, so I've given him the highest ranked in Grub's top 75 in Robert Gray.

I selected Mark Austin for the Eagles and Fortunato Caruso for Sydney.

Thunderstruck you have the last pick in the draft.

 

[Thunderstruck]

Righto.

With the last pick Adelaide selects Shane Edwards (North Adel) 178cm 76kg

Skinny and looks smaller than his height/weight but has very good pace and footy smarts. Loves to take on opponents and beat them one on one. Gets plenty of the footy and dangerous around goals. Would add to the crows small goalkicking options. Bit Scotty Bamford like, if anyone remembers him from Bris and cats but more natural ability. Dead ringer for Jordan Russell of Carlton.

 

[sinepari]

On cue there Thunderstruck

 

[Snoop Dog]

Well there you go - should we put fwd the last 5-6 players we had in our minds or go again?

 

[sinepari]

No point in going again, wait till end of trade week. Perhaps we can just discuss it all until then.

 

[krisholio14]

im more than happy with my pickups. now the game is to try and get them again in the real thing

 

[Oh When the Saints]

Are you going to organise this and put it on footydraft ??

 

[sinepari]

no.

 

[Snoop Dog]

Why dont those of us on the phantom draft do a trade game. Starts tonight and finishes next Sunday night or something. Even have it last til the end of trade week.

Hodgey thoughts?

 

[Deledio2Conca]

I'd like to put my hand up as Richmond's selector in the next draft if that is possible. I think I know enough about the juniors to make smart choices.
