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.
