Phantom Draft - Trial Run #1

[johnson_26]

kicking needs some drastic improvement tho. then again is this andrew swallow syndrome?

People have seriously over estimated this as a fault. I've sene this kid a fair bit and i can tell you his kicking is pretty much spot on. Maybe a bit lanky but i reckon he's a good kick.

In AFL circles he is seriously rated. I honestly dont know how he got down this far.
Pick 5- James Sellar
Pick 23- Tom Hurley
Pick 39- Travis Boak
Pick 55- James Frawely.

I reckon i've got 4 of the best 25 players in this years draft in terms of talent.

 

[sinepari]

Apart from Hurley, I reckon you've done tremendously well mate.

Hurley for mine is a 30-50 selection but that's just my opinion.

 

[johnson_26]

I see what you're saying siney...

He doesn't look like the typical top 15er hey? Isn't overlly flashy, has a bit of pace, but thats a bout it. His kicking can be hit and miss, etc. But he's a genuine footballer, who's a great leader and has tremendous football smarts.

Again, don't at all be surprised if he's selected in the top 10-15. I have heard he is again- seriously rated by a few clubs with early picks. The form of Riewoldt has saved himself from being a 20-40 player, as his championships were fair poor bar first game, even then he played only a half of good footy against an appauling NSW/ACT side.

Why i mention riewoldt? Because i think clubs would opt for riewoldt now ahead of a playe rlike hurley, whereas immediately after the nationals hurley was without doubt in the best 5 mids.

agree picking hurley up so early is stupid! reckon he will get rookied at the best

 

[sinepari]

Yep I understand Johno and all it takes is two clubs to be interested and he's gone early.

Will be interesting to see what happens.

Either way, you've done well

 

[Scottroo]

happy with the kangaroos selections so far.

first round. lachlen hansen - dominant kpp

second round. Bacher Houli - skillful medium sized with pace

third round. jarryd allen - tall, athletic good pickup!

fourth round. daniel caire - young, good pace, good skills, bit of a smokey!

 

[Snoop Dog]

well frawley was the other player at pick 44 I was going to take. Just thought with Lonie and Pendles we have that type covered.

will be on for my pick later

[sherminator]

When will Phantom Rookie Draft begin?

 

[danzan22]

When will Phantom Rookie Draft begin?

from what i was told b4 there will also be a 5th round so after that i guess

 

[sherminator]

I hope some of my potential rookies wont go.

 

[sinepari]

I'm glad this is a trial, as there is no way I'd have these selections in the offical draft.

 

[macca69]

When will Phantom Rookie Draft begin?

Wasn't aware we were having a trial rookie draft. Hasn't been discussed I don't think. Wouldn't mind doing one though.

 

[HBF]

I'm pretty sure LH15 wanted to do the "real" phantom draft after trade week, so we know the exact order of the draft.

 

[HBF]

I'm glad this is a trial, as there is no way I'd have these selections in the offical draft.

Which ones..??

 

[sinepari]

It's not the players, more the order. Not a sledge on Macca at all.

But i'm not giving away my plans for the real draft.

 

[danzan22]

its not like recruiters are gonna look on bf to see this phantom draft, feel free to tell ure plans

 

[sinepari]

That's not what I am saying. I want those players to be available during our official draft. If posters know I want them, they'll consider taking them early.

 

[HBF]

It's not the players, more the order. Not a sledge on Macca at all.

Fair enough, but there's are always players in drafts that slide. Austin Lucy is a good example last year. IIRC, most people had him in their top 20, and some were saying he'd be Brisbanes first pick. Without checking, didn't he go in the 60's to Essendon?

Yep, he sure did.

Just highlights the unpredictable nature of the draft. Sure, there may be standouts, but the rest could just be guesswork. Every year we see players picked earlier than expected, some later than expected, and even some that were thought to be picked early not picked up at all. Happens every year, and expect this year to be the same.

thats right pick 66 to be exact, hopefully a good replacement for fletch

 

[HBF]

Roury Kirkby as well. Now he's playing in the SANFL.

 

[sherminator]

We must begin a trial one soon as this trial draft is over, is that alright?

 

[sinepari]

Trial Rookie Drafts are very tough. Hit & Miss.

 

[sherminator]

Yeah, I figured. But I have some players I am certain Brisbane will have a crack at getting.
