I hope we don't go EVW

 

[MightyDons4]

Not sure if he has inside info or just trying to throw us all of the scent! Some questionable picks in there IMO, but he's the expert so you'd hope that he'd know best.

 

[Suma Magic]

Laverde is probably the biggest call in that draft. Be interesting to see where he goes on Thursday.

 

[Silvagnis]

Lamb just sounds like a red flag, let alone with DVR, Maynard, Boekhorst, Blakeley and EVW available. Could easily be wrong, but doesn't really fit our wants in a player.

 

[TedDougChris]

Some unusual selections there.... Not convinced the Dogs will overlook EVW from what has been rumoured on the Dogs board.

Had to look a couple of times to find him, didn't expect to see him slip outside the top 10...

 

[gandaal]

It's not that different. Same top 3 players like every other phantom draft. Same top 20 like every other phantom draft.

Given how even the draft is it's hardly strange to see players being shuffled around the top 20. Laverde is only seen as a top 5 lock due to Collingwoods rumoured interest more than anything else.

Hopefully we can finally start to match it with the other midfields soon..

AFL or VFL midfields?

I'd also be surprised to see us taking him even if you guys did overlooking him, considering who we've been getting linked too in the lead up to the draft. Even in the phantom, Cal admitted that this isn't the type of player we have been looking at this year.

Anything will do to be honest.

I havent seen enough of any of the draftees to be honest, but we need disposal skils and leg speed. I'm not convinced EVW is a priority for us, but leadership and versatility are nice traits...

Certainly getting there if the Phantom is true to form.

Gold Coast going for Wright makes sense to me. He's just so skilled and they can then move Day to the backline. Lynch, Dixon, Wright all in one forward line could be scary. They need midfield depth, but have the next pick and plenty of other ways to find that. They wont get another shot at someone like Wright.

After that the 10-14 group is so dependent on each pick that comes before it so I think going for something different is as much chance to be right as some of the consensus options.

 

[Stylo]

Dunno, I reckon a lot of the 'experts' including Twomey really have no idea this year.

Well this years young guys are all supposed to be really even in terms of ability and potential which would make doing phantom drafts harder.

Yeah that's kinda what I mean.

I think in a 2-3 years your midfield will be the benchmark...forwards and defenders time will tell.

I don't see why they would bother doing that, if they need a KPD why not just pick Lever or Durdin (who will probably both be there).

On the whole I think it's a fairly poor effort by Twomey but to be fair it's an even draft so it is hard to pick what might happen.

 

[TOA.]

To be fair, I suspect the clubs dont really know what is going on with each other either.

Well from outside the Top 20 I Believe you but top 10-20 they have a Good Idea

 

[Asgardian]

I remember great phantom's, they used to go all the way through the whole draft.

But this jerk stops at 30 ...

Which is annoying since the Swans first live pick is something like pick 37.
