Competitions 2020 Carlton Board Phantom Draft

Draft Tracker:

Be sure to watch as someone opts to not match bids in order to engage in a thought experiment.

JUH should automatically be a matched bid at 1-3 and the rest of the Phantom just continue as per order and same with Jones between 8-12
specially withe their teams traded out of any semblance of early picks.

Be interesting to see where the other academy kids get oicked though

 

[Jeremias]

Would like to get this started tomorrow at the latest.

Still 2 clubs available to select for - Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs.

Please let me know if you are keen to participate otherwise I will simply assign them to two existing participants who will have an extra club to pick for.

Jimmae if the spreadsheet is good to go, can you please send through a link and I will pin it to the OP and also to the top post of each page.

I'm trying to work out which one I should draft with my first pick...



Strong, quick, find space when surrounded by opponents. Plenty of X-factor.



Does his best work inside...



All class, can do things most others can't, powerful, smooth, looks a million bucks...

What about this guy?

 

[The Return of the Paf]

Good luck with this thing, you guys, you might get the first selection done by December the tenth and... who knows, we might even get the full list completed by 2023!

Just start the phantom draft without Port and Bulldogs assigned.

They've both structured up their draft hand to match bids for JUH and Jones. Consequently, they won't have any live picks until the back end of the draft.

It's a formality they match those bids as they're holding back end picks.

Maybe someone selecting for a team like Gold Coast or Sydney who will be done very early in the draft can select for those teams as it won't compromise the selections for their current club.

Realistically, both Sydney and Gold Coast may be done with live picks come picks 3 and 5 respectively. Gold Coast were given free access to their academy players, whilst Sydney will most likely not require any further selections following any bid matched for their two academy players.

I may not match the Gulden bid

Are you volunteering to take them on?

 

[Eiffel 65]

Ok fair point. You've obviously got your own rankings and will select accordingly.

Reality is Sydney would have already committed to both Campbell and Gulden.

The only thing stopping Gulden from being at Sydney next week would be Dodoro going rambo with picks 6,7&8.

 

[Eiffel 65]

If it helps things get underway, I'll take the Bulldogs Jeremias

 

[Arr0w]

Don't think the exercise is to mirror the real draft, more where you think talent should be taken

 

[Eiffel 65]

Are you volunteering to take them on?

I can take both if no one wants them.

 

[Eiffel 65]

Time to start the phantom draft?

 

[THE_GUN]

Jesus i thought my wife takes a long time to get going

Sydney is matching Campbell in the first 5 guaranteed and Gulden after 1st round 100%

Doggies have structured up the picks to have enough points from pick #1 and should be an automatic match

Port are the same with Jones and any pick after #4 is matched due to pints structure.

 

[Jeremias]

We can now begin!

Pick 1. Adelaide.

Blugazi you are on the clock!

 

[Blugazi]

Pick 1 – Logan McDonald
With Tex and Lynch getting on, the Crows could do with some more firepower up forward. Strong consideration was given to Thilthorpe, however he projects more as a ruck/forward. McDonald has demonstrated that he can be the focal point up forward. His performances against senior bodies are well documented, and should hold him in good stead playing AFL next season. Long-term the Crows will be hoping he can form a partnership with Fogarty and/or Himmelberg. In an uncertain draft, McDonald should at least be a serviceable player.

Coona Blues

Sound pick. The reverse Pav hopefully from the Crows Pov.

 

[Coona Blues]

So we are away. Been contemplating this for a while and with pick
2 - North Melbourne - Elijah Hollands

Rationale: Prior to his ACL was universally lauded as the no. 1 this year. His traits are well known. Explosive forward and developing midfielder. The full package, attacking weapon, aerialist, goal kicker, play maker, tackling machine. Other than spending more time in the midfield and of course his rehab physically, there is no flaw. The ultimate hybrid game breaker.

As for club needs, Nick Larkey

has been slow burn, but a capable key target. Young forward ruck Charlie Comben held in very high esteem. Hollands teamed with mercurial medium/tall Curtis Taylor

, the bull Zurhaar and a range of developing small/ medium types, creates an adequate, if not, tantalising mix.

Will place a bid on JUH, perfect Buddy replacement

Eiffel 65 ?

Yep, should have done that. When checked in and saw we were away just jumped on the realistic pick in my mind.

The Western Bulldogs match Sydney's bid for Jamarra Ugle-Hagan.

Rationale: The Bulldogs are in desperate for a KPF and will acquire a player who could arguably be the #1 of this years draft crop. His combine results were exceptional, showcasing elite speed and agility. Coupled with his exceptional vertical leap and strong overhead marking, JUH possesses all the tools to be one of the elite players of the competition.

Back to you Arr0w

 

[Eiffel 65]

The player I've got rated at #2 is still available

 

[Arr0w]

Tough choice here with a number of handy/solid talls, Thiltorpe, Cox and Grainger-Barras

#4 Sydney select Grainger-Barras

Write up later

Agree with this, thinking DGB next best bet, although the ruck/forward would be a great list fit. Cox too speculative this early.
