OER PHANTOM DRAFT

[mightytiges]

#15 Geelong - Jordan Lisle (196cm, 92kg)

The Cats will be looking to replace the likes of Scarlett and Harley over the next few years as well as add to their forward line which was exposed in Grand Final as being one key forward short. Lisle will suit them as he's has shown he can play CHF and in the U18 champs as a KP defender equally well. A bit of a Adam Hunter type. Good in the air, strong hands, good skills for a big man and can rebound off the backline.

[Chuck17]

Well Geelong just put a dent in Hawthorns drafting.  We had our our eye on Lisle as well and would have picked him if available.

# 16 Hawthorn Matthew Broadbent (189cm 81kg)

Ideally we were looking for a KPP defender with a bit of height to assist Croad.  We have selected Broadbent whose ability to play defense as well as midfield won't go astray.

Just a question regaridng the kid LISLE selected by the Cats  .... is he any relation to the Lisle that played for North & the Hawks in the 1980's - Mark Lisle.... just curious

Yes he is WP.

"Oakleigh Chargers pair Xavier Gotch, son of Brad, and Jordan Lisle, son of Mark, might appear to be obvious selections come draft day ..."

Next up:
Melbourne and their priority pick at #17

[Infamy]

Thought a couple of others would have slipped to these two picks so had to change them. Melbourne will take...

17. Steven Hill - Showed in the draft camp results that he is the top level of juniors athletically, but also has a very good defensive side. Shut down Hartlett in the champs and get plenty of the ball himself. Strong chance to go at #3 in the real thing to Fremantle so a good pickup at the start of the 2nd round.

[Ball!]

18) West Coast - Lewis Johnston 192cm 82kg

One of the standout fowards in the championships. He has excellent positioning and won't get outbodied even by bigger opponents in a contest. Will start his career as a 3rd tall but will end up playing CHF for 200 games. Although he's an SA boy, he was too good to pass up here.

[tigersalive]

Lewis Johnston is a poor Cleve Hughes.   I'd be surprised to see him play 50 games.

[Infamy]

Pick # 19
Tom Lynch - Recovering from a knee last year, but was back in time for the U18 champs. Was likely a mid first round pick had he not been injurred. 191cm kpp who can play both ends of the ground and has very good speed for a bigger bloke. Could have slipped a bit until later in the draft, but there aren't too many good talls left so would likely go before Melbournes next pick.

[Ball!]

Pick #20 West Coast Micheal Walters

Although Scheonmakers would have been a nice here however, with a Ruckman and tall foward already chosen it's time to balster up the smaller blokes. Walters will compliment the likes of Mastern, Erbert, and Selwood well. He is small, but he is fast. He is likely to start his career as a goal sneak but once he builds up a bit he will be a very good midfielder

[Chuck17]

Pick #21 Fremantle Mitch Robinson (188cm 77kg)

Midfielder who can play HFF and HBF as well, with a young and emerging side the need for a midfielder with versatility will blend nicely with Rich and Palmer.

[tigersalive]

# 22 Port Adelaide – Aaron Cornelius (TAS / 192cm / 84kgs)

We need a future goalkicker alongside the Hoff and this is our man.

[mightytiges]

#23 Essendon - Ryan Schoenmakers (193cm, 85kg)

After adding to the midfield stocks with Prismall and Yarran, went for a tall who will eventually replace one of either Lloyd or Lucas with both now over 30. Liked the look of Schoenmakers playing as a lead up HF/CHF for SA in the Champs and he has grown to 193cm so he's now also a truer KPP height. Schoenmakers has good foot skills especially on his preferred left, good vision and is a good mark. He also came 1st in the 30m repeat sprints and 6th in the 20m sprint at the draft camp to show he has the athletic attributes to go with his footy ability.

[Chuck17]

Pick # 24 Fremantle Neville Jetta

Having boosted their midfield with two earlier picks Fremantle choose a small forward in Neville Jetta.  Hoping for a replacement for Farmer (in football ability not stupidness) they are hoping Jetta will be the small forward to kick a bagful crumbing off Pav and Tarrant.
