OER PHANTOM DRAFT 2009

[tiga]

For pick 20 Fremantle would like to stick with the home grown players and Select

Joel Houghton
Perth Demons

This kid will be a gun. Very accurate in front of goal and very good overhead. You can never have enough KPF's.

D.O.B:   26-Nov-1991
Club:   Perth
State:   WA
Height:   194cm
Weight:   82kg
Position:   Forward
Tall forward with a tremendous set shot for goal. Outstanding endurance and agility for a player of his size. Marking on the lead and an ability to play present up to the kicker are assets. His level 15-1 beep test at WA screen outstanding. WA Under-18 representative in 2009.

(on a side note re tigers, we really need to have a serious look at him with our pick 19 if he is still there.If you haven't seen his highlights reel...its a must see!!)

We looked at all the highlight reels and in our humble opinion Ben Griffiths is the best key position forward prospect in this draft. We would have considered Houghton at 44. Alas you have taken him with your pick. We wish you well 

well not really

Thankyou for the introduction Popelord!!

North Melbourne will be wrapt that young Matthew Panos has slipped to pick number 21
Height: 191cm
Weight: 91kg

Slides due to his height but is a genuine forward that is ready to go! Good hands and nice shot on goal will help boost the forward line and provide another target.

I hope we have a look at him later in the draft, but definitely not that early. Highlight packages are a little biased.

Panos pretty good pick at 21. You're spot on his height hurts him.

pick 22 Brad Sheppard

pick 23 Callum Bartlett


Stoked to grab these guys.

write ups too follow. It's late and I've have too many ales to communicate my thoughts to the keyboard.

I thought about Koby Stevans at one of these picks but because the eagles have Masten who is a better inside player I decided otherwise.

[WilliamPowell]

Essendon Pick 24:

Koby Stevens

DOB: 18/6/91

Ht: 187cm    Wt: 83Kg

Hard runner with great leadership qualities. Despite his troubles with OP during 2009 Essendon are confident they have a long term hard inside running mid-fielder


PS: I am going to be tied up most of today so I may not be able to get to pick 26 until late this afternoon.  WP

[elliot]

Good pick. He is a much better fit for Essendon I think who lack players of his type.

Write ups from last night.

Brad Sheppard

A defender who can play tall or small and works hard when the ball goes the other way, but the best part of his game is when he is coming out of defense with the ball in his hands.
He's quick and has great disposal by hand and foot. He is in a very similar mould to Corey Enright in this way and I expect him to go much earlier than this come draft day. a steal at this point IMO

Callum Bartlett

At this point basically being my final pick in the draft I decided to go with a high risk reward pick. If Callum can get back into his form pre injury (ACL during the 09 pre season) he will become a cult figure and crowd favorite. A quick, pacey small mid / HFF Bartlett has a thumping left boot much in the style of Daniel Rich. He likes to run the lines and split zones apart with his skills. Only knock on him is his lack of game knowledge and I suppose fitness as he struggles to manage over 16 possessions a game. But rest assured he makes them count. If he had played all this year he would have gone top 10. Some say even top 5.

[crannyvegas]

Apologise for the delay, uni exams etc...

Well it becomes a bit hit and miss from here on in but North Melbourne will pick up Mark Hutchings with pick 25.
Height: 181cm
Weight: 81kg

Hutching is a versatile midfielder with a hard edge. Not as polished as others available here but his size and attack on the footy picks himself. Has some WAFL senior games under his belt which always gives these draftees an intial advantage on their peers. Intelligent player who reads the ball well and will rotate well through the midfield in a defensive or offensive mindset.

[WilliamPowell]

Pick 26 = Essendon

Marcus Davies

DOB = 4/6/1991

HT: 187cm  WT: 81 Kg

Can play half back or in the mid-field. Has very good leg speed and power. Has improved his disposal this year and had a very good under 18 Carnival. We expect him to ready to play senior footy in 2009. To fill the gap left by that sook McPhee 

[mightytiges]

27. Brisbane - Josh Thomas (Qld, 01/10/91, 178cm, 70kg).

Thomas has been linked to the Lions at this pick. He turned down a contract offer from GC17 to go into the draft similar to Beams last year. A quick skillful half-back/half-forward who also played midfield in the U18s but will probably end up a HFF at AFL level. Being a local Queensland boy also takes away the go-home factor.

[Penelope]

Kyle Hartigan finds himself in the cattery.

Hard working key defender who sets himself the task of beating his opponent and rarely losses. Great speed for his size, and body strength are his weapons. AIS-AFL Academy graduate. His level 14-5 beep test at Vic screen outstanding for a tall. Vic Metro Under-18 representative in 2009.

A tall fast key defender who hates getting beaten is just what an aging backline needs in reserve

[one-eyed]

Bump.

Blaisee your go..... pick 29. Adelaide
