Past OER Phantom Draft Hits and Misses - 2008
« on: November 15, 2012, 11:01:11 AM »
After going through our phantom drafts of the past we have had some ripper hits and misses. There have been a few first round blunders, but there have been quite a few really good late round gems selected proving that this forum has some pretty astute footy brains when it comes to judging future prospects.

Here are my highlights for 2008

Hits are in order of diamond in the rough to fulfilled expectations.

2008

OER Selection 78 (Real Selection 34) - (tigersalive) - Liam shiels (Both infamy and Chuck17 passed prior to this selection  :o)

OER Selection 35 (Real Selection 19) - (Infamy) - Matt De Boer

I thought De Boer was a rookie pick?

OER Selection 15 (Real Selection 50) - (MT) Jordan Lisle (MT what were you thinking??  :lol)
LOL yeah I did bomb out with Geelong's two picks that year although the jury could yet be still out on Lisle as he played the last 5 games this year for Brisbane when they had a few wins late in the season and he wasn't their worst. His kicking is still a prob. though from when I've seen him play.

On the other hand I didn't do too bad with Essendon's picks in that 2008 phantom draft. 3 out of 5 are in the best 22 of the respective clubs and a 4th Stanley played 12 games this year missing a month or so of footy for the Saints with a hammy.

5. Chris Yarran
23. Ryan Schoenmakers
55. Taylor Hunt
67. Rhys Stanley
79. Adam Cockie

I think I've done much worse than Lisle in the later phantom drafts lol.
