Rookie Draft

[Freddy Fuschia 747]

Is there such a thing as a phantom rookie draft?

Yes, some of the bigfooty drafts contain rookie phantom drafts but they will be inaccurate now.

Did your question need a new thread? Talk about Clutterbucking this site.

It only seems that way to those whose minds are totally Clutterbucked.

To the rest of us, I'm sure the question is of vital importance and I for one look forward to the appearance of the first genuine Phantom Rookie Draft either here or on bigfooty.

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

I don't think many are having a go at phantom psd and rookie drafts because the AFL hasn't issued the order of the drafts yet.

I believe that might happen today.

My interest is here:

#8 Fremantle – Gibson Turner (178cm forward - Federal)

Couldn't believe he got overlooked, and could be off the board before this pick. Turner is another one of those who has been splitting his playing time between the NT, Glenelg and school football as he is living in Adelaide for his schooling. Really skillful player with again some real speed, he is a smart player up forward and leads really well. Showed in the U18 Championships and in U18 football for Glenelg that he knows how to kick a goal.

#24 Melbourne - Marley Williams (181cm midfielder - Claremont)

Another kid who I probably rate a little more than others might. He is a strongly built midfielder/forward, but does have an impressive turn of speed. There is no denying he has natural talent, and there was one play in particular during the Championships against SA which they showed this - one handed contested mark, followed by a 55m goal off one step. I can see him debuting early, just needs to keep putting in the work.

#34 Hawthorn – Luke Wilson (174cm forward - Port Adelaide)

One of the smallest players in the SA squad, Wilson is the cousin of Danyle Pearce and isn't too dissimilar. Aside from a couple of reserves games, Wilson has primarily played U18 football for Port Adelaide and won a Rising Star nomination earlier this year. Very clean hands, coupled with his speed and natural ability, makes him an exciting prospect in the forward half

#47 Essendon - Ross Tungatulum (175cm forward - NT Thunder)

Some will remember the name as the former St Kilda rookie, and since his delisting he has gone back to the NT and has improved out of sight. Really matured too. Excellent forward crumber and strong defensively, Ross would be ready to play from Round 1. Don't think any team would have problems keeping him either.

#51 West Coast – Alroy Gilligan (177cm forward – Claremont)

20 years old now, Gilligan spent time on Richmond’s rookie list but spent his time either injured or in the VFL. He has gone back to the WAFL now, and has become a more consistent player. He has always been highly rated, has definite x-factor and can play in any number of positions. Well worth another shot, perhaps a WA side would be his best bet.

Snoop Dog 2011 Mock PSD and Rookie Draft

Great effort to analyze it to that degree.

yep someone has a lot of spare time on their hands to know the prospects that well!

[Supreme_Demon 3,899]

So any idea who may pick up in the Rookie Draft tomorrow then?

Can we have some predictions?

I'm hoping we get Jai Sheahan....as for the rest...I'm not too sure?

Perhaps Marley Williams?

[drdrake 3,187]

Watching training today, if Jai Sheahan is there in the third or fourth round we will take him. I think we will take Leigh Williams, Couch, Sheahan and Cutterbuck

I think that we will take Shannon Burnett after watching him at training. Barry Prendergast & Tim Harrington were there watching him intently. And he was mighty impressive IMO.However, one never knows, there will be many surprises tomorrow. However, I also think Clutterbuck will go very quickly. I think they will take at least one tall maybe two mids and the best available. Although I think they will try out Taggert as a midfielder.Therefore, may only pick up one other rookie midfielder.

Our mail is West Coast want Clutterbuck. I'm not sure where their picks fit in with ours.

here's the draft order for tomorrow

[Hells Gates 505]

Ok correct me if I'm wrong, I may have missed something. I was under the impression that we were allowed 8 rookies as I thought the AFL increased it. We have retained Nicholson, Evans and Lawrence but we only get 4 more picks. Where have I stuffed up? Cheers.

I think you are allowed something like 38 main list players, 2 veterans and 6 rookies. As we only have 1 veteran I think we are allowed 7 rookies. Minus the 3 you mentioned thats 4 more picks. As those 3 are all smalls I expect us to go with a couple of talls and a couple of smalls.

[Demon 16 214]

Travis Tuck is being mentioned for us around the traps.

Im hoping we get Shane Nelson with our first pick.

[Hells Gates 505]

Thanks that's exactly what it is, for some reason I thought jamar had been elevated. Cheers for your help and goodluck to the dees today.

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

My guess:

6. Clutterbuck

24. Tuck

42. Couch (I couldn't readily think of anyone else whose name rhymes with Tuck)

59. Pass and look at taking either of the two late additions to the PTT list.

[demon-4-life 467]

Interesting that the phantom draft link listed above had no mention of Addam Maric.

[Hells Gates 505]

For me.

6. Tom Sunberg - Smokie!!

24. Couch

42. Leigh Williams

59. Burnett - Sth Freo

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

Suggestion is that GWS will pass all of its PSD picks.

[Pink Freud 370]

Gee. That means Phil Scully misses out.
