2013 Phantom Drafts

Featured Replies

Brett Anderson's Inside Football Mock Draft has us taking this player:-

Suits me.

Suits me too 'Jack',but I doubt it will happen couldn't see him getting past Collingwood if he slips down. I still think he is the best option for GWS but everyone is saying Kelly.

 

Going by the phantoms published today (Paige and HUN), looks like it's Freeman or Salem if Collingwood don't take him.

 

Could be a very interesting draft night for us. Some saying Freeman is a lock, others saying Scharenberg could slip to 9 and maybe even Salem.


 

I was listening to Finney on SEN on my way home and he did a phantom draft with two (expert) guests (didn't catch their names). They had us taking Salem at 9. Whilst I have heard his name and read up on him in other phantom drafts, I have not heard his name too much on here. His draft combine results seem good, does any one have any info on him?


I think Brett Anderson was on Finey's show tonight, he and Ash Browne from AFL.com tend to do the draft talk on Evenings w/ Finey every year.

I'm feeling that Salem might just be ahead of Freeman now for us, but if Scharenberg slips down, I'd be stunned if we didn't go with him. Still feel the Pies will take him at 6, leaving us to select Salem or Freeman. Salem probably edges Freeman on all round footballing ability. Does everything well (kicks better than most others in this draft), and can step up in big moments during games, loves to tackle. Freeman's pace is tearaway and a real point of difference. I'm comfortable that we'll get a very good player at 9, whichever way we go.

Find it interesting that, after a fair amount of agreement among phantom drafts about the top 10 or 12 (with us getting Freeman), in the past week things have really diversified.

Another update by Paige, and I have a feeling she's very close to the mark on the top 12 or so.

Changes have Scharenberg at 6, Freeman to Brisbane and Salem as our choice at 9.

I don't rate this "Supercoach Paige" at all.

She just pinches notes from Jay Clark and Landsberger at the HeraldSun, both of them fair hacks as it is.

The superlatives these wannabes use are ridiculous.

Every player has exceptional this and mountains of that.

It's ridiculous. Not a bad word said about any of them.


I like Quigley's phantom drafts because he doesn't mind having unpopular or strange views on players, but I think he's way off here.

Crouch, Sheed and Dunstan (to MFC) in the top 10??

I'd be surprised if 1 of them was.

He has interesting and detailed views, but if my memory serves me correctly, he rated Josh Greene as being top 4 in his draft.

Everyone has some misses, Quigley is brave but probably has more than most.

Some write ups get close to the AFL guys stuff as well.

Yep, he's definitely his own man and not particularly concerned about being accurate in terms of predicting the final outcome. I have no doubt that his phantom draft will be further off the mark than many others. It's the content that makes him interesting even if you disagree with him.

9/ Nathan Freeman... the running bull

40/ Jay Kennedy-Harris... small fwd

57/ Jake Kolidhashnji... tall defender

fingers crossed

Now that really is a FANTASY draft

His point isn't to predict the order, it's pick the best players. Clubs get it wrong all the time - Fiora, Fyfe. Only time will tell.

Quigley is Emma Quigley a woman not a man

Quigley is Emma Quigley a woman not a man

No the Quigley referred to is a Big Footy poster who does a yearly mock draft.

Definitely not Emma Quigley whose mock draft will be much closer to the actual order than the Big Footy one will be.

Thanks for clarifying

Isn't it Emma Quayle?

We will get something very decent at pick 9 this draft. I'm just rapt we got Dom Tyson!

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
