Phantom drafts don't always turn out the same way as the real thing.
However I agree it's a big if he gets past Nth.
If he does though he could get very close to us.
Understood. It is something I have been thinking about doing some statistical analysis on actually.
Looking back over the past few years - Callum Twomey has been very close in his top 15-20 phantom's to actual draft outcomes.
After pick 15 or so he tends to be a off though as do most of them.


Here is another phantom draft that has him getting very close to us.

Don't know much about these guys but it seems that Sam Picked a Pickled Pepper Powell will be thereabouts at our pick.

All I know is that our recruiting team will say that they can't believe the player we get got to our pick as he was always going to be the guy we would have taken with pick 10 (f we still had it). :lol:

I'm sure we said that about Kosi. Couldn't believe he was still available at pick 2.

His intensity looks good, but disposal not so much. Hopefully he's the right choice if we choose him.

Don't think the poor disposal will put Richo off - thats not his highest priority. Sam looks pretty exciting. Bustling and brutal inside with good size, but can work it on the outside with some strength and dash. Can do the don't argue beautifully. Is kind of like Dusty without the elite distribution which is a bit of bummer. IF they have worries about Armo physically, then SPP isn't a bad pickup at pick 25 to add genuine grunt and some exciting burst style footy.

Listening to him talking there seems a real "mongrel/rough" element to him with the haircut. Maybe even a "d**khead-Martin" factor with him. But if they keep him from exploding in public, maybe we need more of that, more unsociable footballers who will really fly the flag and be genuinely feared on the footy field.

How old is he?

So a boy coming into a man's competition.

At the age they are drafted, and from the competitions they are drafted from it is all about that magical word "potential".

I hope we also look at Bolton .. is a line-breaker, has plenty of time, holds the ball - is like a Dal Santo with speed.
He is under 70 kgs - which is a good weight for a slippery-eel.

Some highlights .....

Pepper Powell looks like a beast!

Ollie florent looks classy but doubtful he will slide

Galucci also just what we need

Keen on Berry and Powell-Pepper then Florent - if available Saints first DP

Think they might bid for Brad Scheer

I just hope we don't concentrate on yet more defenders - we can leave that for next year, if we really must - this year's draft is all about midfielders.
Besides there's Carlisle, Goddard, Brown to come in - and Coughlan? We're chockers.
... and we need midfielders with outside run ..... line-breakers.

He said we were aiming for Florent which was undoubtedly true.

However that information seems based on us still having pick 11 because that is the pick (Swans via Hawks) that he was chosen at.

GWS finished 3rd but got 4 picks in the top 20.
Think about that for a moment.

It certainly isnt from trading because they traded OUT 7, 3 and 16 for pick 2.
They also got Deledio in. They lost Treloar of course last year which helped them this year.
So they traded Out more top 20s than they got in during trade period.

Yet still ended up with 4 x top 20 picks + Deledio.

After finishing 3rd.

They are going to be might hard to catch up with unless a few clubs can start raiding their players a little more.

We should go all out next year for Shiel or Kelly to even things up.
