This is not a phantom draft but more of a subjective list of players I liked most based on the videos at the AFL site and on youtube. I wanted to do a longer and more comprehensive list but this is all I had time for. Will be interesting to look back on in a few years from now.

1. Tom Scully – Nuggety and determined, looks like a midfield workhorse. The type of player who will become the heart & soul of a midfield. The logical #1 choice.

2. Callum Bartlett – Fast, skillful, strong and evasive. Doesn’t look to have a weakness in his game. The only reason I haven’t got him at number 1 is the doubts over his fitness.

3. Jack Trengove – Well balanced, prototype midfielder who looks strong in most areas. The most assured pick of the draft.

4. Daniel Talia - Awkward kicking action and looks more of a defender than a forward but is tough as nails and strong overhead and just looks a solid player.

5. Kane Lucas – Skillful and pacy with good awareness.

6. Liam Patrick - Saw footage of him for the first time last night and he looks impressive. Skillful with great agility and determination. I tip he will make it and would love for him to do it at Melbourne.

7. Levi Casboult – Looks like the best tall forward in the draft to me. Exceptionally strong overhead and reliable in front of goal with great strength and action.

8. Mitchell Carter – Looks like a smart player with good skills and decision making. Surprised I haven’t heard a lot about him.

9. Taylor Duryea – Looks quick & smart with a lovely kicking action. Surprised I haven’t heard much about him either.

10. Myles Pitt – Great overhead and on the lead and looks a natural forward.

11. Jack Fitzpatrick – Only saw his video for the first time today and he looks extremely agile, & skillful for a player of his size & reads the game well. I like him more than Vardy & Gawn.

Other players I liked were Ben Cunnington, Luke Tapscott, Jasper McMillan-Pittard, Alexander Stopp & Aaron Black.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
