Phantom Draft - Trial Run #1

[macca69]

I wondered if this guy would get picked up. Nice pick up Wiz

Can someone tell me if he is Heath Blacks half brother? I'm sure I heard this somewhere.

He is, but he plays nothing like him. Is a great get at pick 47.

Thanks Macca. Have seen him a few times and I agree, a good pickup at 47.

 

[macca69]

Get to 50 tonight and I'll add this into MY TOP 50.

Don't you mean TOP 75

[danzan22]

is there going to be a 4th round?

 

[sinepari]

I would have loved Collier at WCE, and I have heard that we're interested.

 

[macca69]

is there going to be a 4th round?

pretty sure there'll be a 4th and 5th round.

 

[sinepari]

in which I believe WCE will pass. They generally don't pick beyond 3rd round. Maybe a 4th because it's a strong draft

 

[macca69]

We did just draft Spangher the year before, who's a similar player.

 

[macca69]

in which I believe WCE will pass. They generally don't pick beyond 3rd round. Maybe a 4th because it's a strong draft

I think we will have more than 3 spots on the list to fill this year. Matera will be off the list, Banners will retire, Gardiner is gone, Wirra and Cousins will become veterens. Add to that Wooden, Gaspar, McDougall and Adkins all strong possibilites to be delisted and that this draft is strong, we may find ourseleves with 5 picks in this draft.

 

[sinepari]

Matera's spot has been replaced by Armstrong and Priddis will probably take Banfield's spot. (matera went on to the long-term injury list)

Smith will more than likely stay, and therefore will come off the long-term injury list (priddis took his spot)

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

It wasn't a knock on Mitchell Brown, who was, I agree, very good at the U18s, but more a concern that, in the twins, we've drafted two players with -- not surprisingly -- practically identical size and athleticism.

If you can get two guys of that size, and that talent, you don't split hairs on how many you have. You can always trade size.

However, if the Browns really do have Collier covered for athleticism, as Snoop says, then no problems.

They don't have him covered for athleticism, but Collier is the Joel Bowden to their Scott Lucas. Both good, but only one is a real KP.

I'm just wary -- perhaps I've been reading too many of Weaver's posts -- about drafting too many big-bodied KPPs. We've already got Travis Cloke, who's around the 195cm (looks taller) and 100kg mark. Both the Browns look like they'll tip the scales at around the 100kg mark too after a couple of preseasons. Can one team really supprt three players of that size?

If Nathan Brown lines up at CHB, Mitchell Brown stays at home as a FF, and Travis Cloke plays the leading half forward role that he seems best at, then I'd say we can carry them all.

Liken it to the setup St Kilda use - Travis Cloke would play like Nick Riewoldt, in that his job is to lead up the field and take a ton of marks, and drive the ball inside 50. Mitch Brown would play like Fraser Gehrig, not too far from goal. Nathan Brown is then like a Matt Maguire-type CHB.

It's not as though size dictates whether or not they can be used in the same team - They all play different positions, and different roles.

 

[macca69]

Matera's spot has been replaced by Armstrong and Priddis will probably take Banfield's spot. (matera went on to the long-term injury list)

Smith will more than likely stay, and therefore will come off the long-term injury list (priddis took his spot)

Armstrong is likely to be promoted, but is only temporarily on the main list atm. Not sure if Priddis will get promoted, he has shown a bit, but I'm not sure if we think he's worth a spot on our main list. Is he young enough to stay on the rookie list next year? I'll be shattered if Smith doesn't stay on the list.

 

[sinepari]

Yes, he is temporary, however would still need to take Matera's spot.

Same goes with Priddis.

I'll have a break down if Smith doesn't get another crack. The guy's a champ

 

[Salaryman]

we could just not worry about passes and list management and do five rounds for every club.

yeh that's the idea. Impossible to predict how many picks each club will have in the draft.

 

[sinepari]

yeah I know but i was just suggesting that in reality wce usually dont go beyond 3rd round.

 

[Silvagnis]

Lot's of talent there

No point in finishing last only to walk away with Gibbs, Petterd, Schmidt and Everitt in this draft. Back to back spoons with less wins and we're going to be no better off than Port if either of those kids don't make it.

Who would you have selected then Cypher?

 

[danzan22]

seems thunderstruck is offline, should someone pick for him?
