		Phantom Drafts - 2018
		
		My personal ratings would be Lukosius a bit lower, he’s definitely talented but I just don’t think he’s a genuine power forward. Plays a bit too much like jack watts and maybe I’m a bit scarred Izak Rankine I have on par with Walsh as the best players in the draft. He was seriously damaging. bailey smith is interesting because he could easily play half back or mid, I think he’s got potential to be the best player in the draft if he gets the balance right. Ive mentioned elsewhere I think Jye Caldwell has the talent to be a top 6 pick but the types of injuries he’s getting so early is a real concern... he’s an outside chance to slip through to our 23 though unlikely. The king brothers are interesting because I think the only way an interstate team drafts them is if they can get both. Phantom top 5. 1. Sam Walsh 2. Max king 3. Ben king 4. Bailey smith 5. Jack Lukosius Can see a couple of the SA boys sliding a bit. I reckon the Gold Coast would be a better chance of retaining the king brothers than the SA boys.

		Especially for a guy universally known to be a highly efficient user of the ball. That’s where hunt let’s himself down in comparison.

		I don’t mind pruess being used up forward simply because I can’t see him being out marked. Bring it to ground and let the smalls go to work.

		I vaguely remember roosu saying something similar in his meeting with goody, it was mostly about culture and so on rather than just football. I think we are onto a winner with goody

		PICKS # 26 & 31 (formerly # 23 & 28)
		
		I actually think jye Caldwell is a chance to slide. Very talented kid but injury concerns at a young age may put some doubts in recruiters minds for the first round

		It basically makes kade a free hit the way the trade played out. And this kid has absolute A grade talent and potential. I think a bit like Gus his confidence putting his head over it has taken a hit due to concussions but they’ll be able to support each other and I’m super confident it’ll be a bargain pick up for us.

		Farewell Jesse Hogan
		
		If anything makes you feel proud about supporting this great club the way they’ve handled all that Jesse has been through since day one has been nothing short of amazing. His decision coming from the Melbourne side of this was extremely emotional and difficult for him simply due the enormous support he’s received! Devastated to see Jesse go but it’s also great that he’s finally back home with his family and hopefully smooth sailing from here and a great career for Jesse at the dockers

		He would be the cerra on top for us. A beautiful inside/outside combo with speed. Too late to get him added to the hogan deal? Haha

		Farewell Jesse Hogan
		
		Absolutely and they’ll be concerned if they have nothing to sell guys like brayshaw, Cerra and co they will want out. This hogan deal is, and always was huge for them.

		Still coming to the dees... just getting a plan b in place in case the hogan deal falls through. Will be done tomorrow

		That’s fair. Everyone judges the list a little bit differently

		To be clear my point of view is if the deal looks like not getting done, we’d be better off in my opinion trading hogan for just pick 5 and getting May over the line. Our goal is winning a premiership in 2019 and in my opinion we are a better chance of doing that with Steven May than Jesse hogan on our list. I persobally would be comfortable accepting slight unders in that deal in order to get Steven May over the line this year. And Jesse has been through hell so I think it would be a good look to make sure he gets home, even slightly at our own expense. Obviously there is a time to play hard ball, but this may not be the right time if things get right. I may be completely wrong and we still get more than that, that’s just my opinion

		It’s a funny one isn’t it? I’m sort of in the camp of being willing to accept slight unders for hogan to get May across the line because I think if he comes, we are a better chance of winning the 2019 premiership. I guess if the club were asking for pick 5 &23 for hogan or whatever of course you’d sacrifice pick 23 worst case scenario for a couple of % better chance at a flag next year

		I agree, I suppose that’s what’s I’m curious about because I think Oscar is probably a slightly better defensive option but if you wanted a bit more drive out of that position I’d lean towards frost

		Curious dazzle assuming May slots in at full back, and lever is the third tall, who’s your starting CHB? Frost, McDonald, kielty, or petty or someone left field?

		Who do you like in the draft Clint? Young smith or one of the king brothers?

		Sam E reporting the dees are open to accepting only pick 5 in this trade....

		It’s not a fair reading. That midfield was awful all year. The defender can’t do much when the ball comes in with no pressure all the time. I’m more concerned about his discipline issues. He would wanna pull his head in

		That’s because you don’t know what you’re talking about. But that’s okay. I forgive you stuie ❤️

		Yes, in fact I’m certain that’s the case. It’s not uncommon. Simon Goodwin has visited Kolo in the last week.

		Pretty stressful time for Neale and Adams and he’s showing care because he’s a committed coach and a genuinely good bloke. I’m not surprised you didn’t understand that.

		They aren’t offering pick 11 for lobb.. they’re offering pick 11 for lobb and pick 25 pick 11 alone for lobb would be ridiculous.
