Pre National Phantom Draft

Featured Replies

Couldn't stop at 40, had to do the first three rounds :lol:

I also tried to pick for teams needs, and thus this isnโ€™t necessarily in order of best to worst.

It amazes me how often a person doing a Phantom Draft misses that point

I know i felt i had to make that comment before people started picking my order apart because player x is better then player y, but i took player y first.

What are people thoughts on Mckernan v Schoenmakers

Have the feeling the Mckernan will slide big time to around 19-25, both have huge upside but i feel schoenmakers is a safer pick. But at the same time i think Mckernan has better potential but is more likely to be a bust. Would like us to get Blease+Mckernan or Swift+Schoenmakers safer pick+high risk high reward pick.

I get caught up in picturing Corey McKernan running around for MFC, but I think you're probably right.

Swift & Schoenmakers would be my choice.

Personally I'd take McKernan.

Quicker, jumps higher, considerably bigger, comes from a good footy background and can play.

Schoenmakers was playing predominantly as a backman until he got carved up so got moved up forward for a couple of games in the carnival (according to McCartney) so you could argue he doesn't really play any one position (just as yet anyway).

tbh I don't believe McKernan is any more of a risk than Schoenmakers but has greater potential. Only problem I see McKernan having is that he seems to be primarily a ruckman but could be too short (Nick Smith anyone?)

No, he's slower. Schoenmakers ran 2.92 at DC. Players don't always use their speed in a game though.

That said, I'm surprised by the flack dished out McKernan's way. I've only seen him twice live, but he'll be a very good footballer, imo.

I also like Schoenmakers, but haven't realy sen enough of either. It's shaping as a fascinating draft.


McKernan ran quicker in the agility test though didn't he? (feel free to correct me there)

You're right about players not using their pace in games, which is where the DC doesn't give the whole picture of a player.

I don't know whether he did or didn't, but clealry pace isn't an issue for the 193cm Schoenmakers. His time in the sprint was exceptional - ranking =7 from 75 at camp.

Do you post on any Essendon sites or do you save your tiresome quips for here ?

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourneโ€™s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time atย Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: โ€œIs Melbourne even at the ground?โ€ Moments later, as Carltonโ€™s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demonsโ€™ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.ย
