Does anyone have a list of the top 20 or so drafties?? Or a list of the drafties and their style of play as we have had in the past?
Dare a recommend a bunch of novices to judge a player but you can at least get an idea from the BigFooty phantom draft better than most places so far.

Thanks TA.
Here is Burgatron's top 18 in no order.......
http://oneeyed-richmond.com/forum//index.php?topic=9600.0John Butcher (Vic Country) - 3/7/91, 197cm, 84kgThe key forward entered the NAB AFL Under-18 championships as a possible No.1 draftee but more likely the No.2 pick. Although he did not make the All-Australian team, he remains high in the pecking order, but probably now a top-five pick.
Jesse Crichton (Tasmania) - 185cm, 70kgAnother who recruiters continue to rate highly despite his missing out on All-Australian honours. Most still believe the AIS/AFL Academy graduate is Tasmania's best prospect, although Ryan Harwood has his fans.
Ben Cunnington (Vic Country) - 30/6/91, 186cm, 84kgOne of Vic Country's best and an Under-18 All-Australian. The versatile prospect has been likened to Brad Sewell, and averaged 20 disposals per match during the U18 champs. His ferocious attack on the ball and hard-running attributes keeps him right in the mix for the first round of November’s NAB AFL Draft.
Jack Fitzpatrick (Vic Metro) - 26/6/91, 201cm, 85kgVersatile for an athlete who stands at 201cm, and his flexibility makes him an attractive proposition. Can fill a key position at either end of the ground and should be a first-round pick at this point.
Jordan Gysberts (Vic Metro) - 11/6/91, 188cm, 83kgModern-day midfielder who has been likened to emerging versatile Demon Jack Grimes.
Kane Lucas (Western Australia) - 26/6/91, 188cm, 79kgJoint vice-captain of WA’s unbeaten U18 team, and named on the wing in the All-Australian squad. He also spent time for WA across half-forward, adding a dimension to his game, which some recruiters believe enhanced his status.
Dustin Martin (Vic Country) - 26/6/91, 187cm, 86kgAn onballer whose fortunes appear to have risen after an outstanding series of midfield performances in the U18 champs. Averaged 21 disposals per match in the champs.
Andrew Moore (Vic Metro) - 30/5/91, 188cm, 81kgThe younger brother of Richmond defender Kelvin has been likened to Swan Ryan O'Keefe. Still a strong prospect and was particularly impressive early in the U18 champs.
Anthony Morabito (Western Australia) - 29/10/91, 190cm, 90kgHis status has grown, particularly after his best-on-ground performance against South Australia at Subiaco Oval. Named All-Australian, the run-and-carry midfielder is now regarded as a top five selection. Top three is not out of the question.
Matthew Panos (South Australia) - 25/1/91, 192cm, 85kgKey forwards are never a dime a dozen in any draft and are again thin on the ground in this year's draft pool, which is why Panos pushes into the top 16. Kicked 14 goals in the championships, including five in one match.
Gary Rohan (Vic Country) - 7/6/91, 186cm, 79kgThis time last year, Rohan was a full-back with Victorian country club Cobden. Now the exciting, high-leaping, hard-at-it half-forward is an All-Australian and appears to be a top 10 draft pick following his outstanding championships. He is one to watch.
Tom Scully (Vic Metro) - 15/5/91, 182cm, 74kgCame into the champs with the No.1 draft tag and finished them with the same mantle. Although South Australian Jack Trengove looms as a genuine challenger, it is hard to imagine the hard-running midfielder’s name not being the first called out in November.
Koby Stevens (Vic Country) - 18/6/91, 187cm, 82kgA versatile midfielder/flanker who impressed in the carnival despite missing out on NAB AFL All-Australian honours. He was Vic Country's best against Tasmania, for example. An AIS/AFL Academy graduate
Luke Tapscott (South Australia) - 28/6/91, 181cm, 84kgOne recruiter has likened Tapscott's body mould to that of Leigh Matthews. The powerful midfielder/forward further enhanced his status with nine goals and 30 inside 50s for SA. But it is his disposal efficiency and beautiful foot skills that keep him right up here.
Jack Trengove (South Australia) - 2/9/91, 185cm, 82kgAfter winning 31 disposals in SA's first match, Trengove continued to go from strength to strength. The hard-at-it midfielder/forward is rated so highly that he is an outside chance for No.1 pick, firming for No.2 and top five at worse.
Nathan Vardy (Vic Country) - 25/6/91, 198cm, 89kgOne of the leading rucks in this year's draft, the 198cm tall is a genuine ruck prospect. Although he was pipped for an All-Australian guernsey by South Australian James Craig, he still looms as a first-rounder at this stage.
Lewis Jetta (Western Australia/Swan Districts)The 20-year-old is likely to be the first mature-age player drafted. The small forward kicked three goals for the Western Australian state team this year and had 24 touches for Swan Districts last round.
Daniel Talia (Vic Metro/Calder Cannons) - 2/10/91, 195cm, 79kgNamed at centre half-back in this year's All-Australian team, Talia has come right into the equation due to his ability to fill a key position at either end of the ground. He is the grandson of 1954 Footscray premiership ruckman Harvey Stevens.
