With the draft just over 5 weeks away, anyone interested in doing our own phantom draft in the lead up to it?
We could do it like most other sites (BF) where each person gets a team each but alternatively I was thinking of doing a collective effort where we discuss and vote on each pick and see how close we get. It would allow more people to join in the discussion and some people here may know more about certain draftees or those who have heard rumours on any club being keen in a certain kid or recycled player.
Anyway give us your thoughts if you're interested :).

Phantom draft.
Might be a bit :sleep
Edit: let's keep our thoughts here
-
Anyway u know I have little to NO idea when it comes to this.
I will just say TALL TALL TALL as long as its quality TALL :thumbsup
-
I'm in.
I'll take a few teams if I have to, to keep things going.
Shotgun Tigers
-
I'd have a crack if it got up and running.
-
i'm in
-
I'm in so that's 4.
-
I know next to nothing about 98% of the players in the draft but I would give it a go.
I suppose if I got the Ainters I could just pick the players most likely to be SOFA's. ;D

Definitely apt CUB, also stands for Skinny Outside Flanker Alliance
-
Count me in too! :thumbsup
What I did once before which was fun is that we each had a team, went through the National draft as per the official picks for your chosen club and then have an open slather trade period with every player up for trading. Once completed, you then all went into the same dream team comp with your finalised team at the end of the trade period.
Just a thought anyway.
-
I'm in....
I think I will do well... because some of the AFL recruiters I have no idea :thumbsup
-
Okay so far we have 8 in ...
Ball!
tigersalive
wayne
mightytiges
Chuck17
tiga
WP
CUB
So pick one club each just in case others still want to join in and then we can double up if need be to fill spots for all 16 clubs.
nb. I've created a Draft resource board which has links to info and video of most of the junior footballers likely to be drafted this year plus a couple of mock drafts from BF, BB and allfooty as a guide.

Just read this again. I love this idea, would take a bit of time for us all so maybe we cant get it running this year but I am sure I would be in this. I hate fantasy stuff as you all know. :lol Would be best if we drew out of hat if we were going to do this as who ever got Geelong would have a bit of a head start as far as dream team goes.
-
I'll take Carlton ;D
Top 3 picks.
Fabian DeLuca
Jeff White
Adem Yze

Pretty much shotgunned the Tiges before, but if not I'm happy to take West Coast and the North Melbourne

It will work like the draft.
Look at the Bulldogs draft picks, then the needs and the players available to be drafted. And pick one.
You actually dont have to even participate in the 1st round because the Dogs have already chosen Ayce Cordy under father son for their first round pick. ;D
-
Doubling up I'll take the Cats choking on furballs lol.
-
Only 3 spots left - Crows, Hawks or Swans. Feel free to pick a second club if you haven't already. First in best dressed.

Never mind - Good Album, loved it.
If we need to kick it off I will take Sydney so I can pick future potential trade meat in exchange for established players. They will probably be trading for a top FF soon.
-
I'll take the Swans :thumbsup

Only 1 spot left and then we can get going :). Any love for the Crows? :D
