Re: Burgatron's Phantom Draft Due Today

I had thought he was tapering off a bit but last year was definately a return to form. Hopefully he is close to the money again this year.

Re: Burgatron's Phantom Draft Due Today

Just for the uninformed (me) - who is Matt Burgan? - as in apart from doing these phantoms since 2000... what is his day job / credentials?

You missed a couple at the start, i checked back to 160, they're the 1st 2.

Couple of sliders there from Burgen if this is a reverse order, Post & Brown as 4th round picks. Or these could just be random order

 

[HBF]

Re: Burgatron's Phantom Draft Due Today

Yep.

Although his order may be a little off, he knows the players each club is seriously considering.

That's why this PD is so keenly sought after. He does talk to recruiters, so he knows what is going on. Not that long to go now.

Just a journalist for afl.com

Takes a keen interest in the draft though (along with Emma Quayle)

Ballantyne would also be seen as a slider in some peoples eyes, people keep suggesting he may go in the second round. (assume this is the reverse order)

he works on afl.com, from memory he id the one that does the articles each week on dream team, i.e who to pick and al that.

also does articles for the site i think, not sure what else but he does more than just a phantom draft once a year

Re: Burgatron's Phantom Draft Due Today

if it is reversse order then the HUN and burgatron have extremely different opinions on Hayden Ballantyne

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Re: Burgatron's Phantom Draft Due Today

Assuming no passes , this is what the draft should look like:

85. Carlton - Matthew Moody
84. Port Adelaide - Tom Hislop
83. St. Kilda -Hayden Ballantyne
82. Brisbane - Nick Davis
81. Brisbane - Warren Benjamin
80. Carlton - Danny Meyer
79. Essendon - Jamie Bennell
78. Port Adelaide -Nathan Carroll
77. Fremantle - Mitch Brown
76. Melboune - Jaydyn Post
75. Hawthorn - Zac Clarke
74. st.Kilda -Tom Lee
73. Collingwood -Luke Thompson
72. Adeladie -Adam Cockie
71. North Melbourne -Liam Shiels
70. Richmond - Shane Savage
69. Brisbane -Glen Dawson
68 - Fremantle -Tom Gillies
67. Essendon - Luke Rounds
66. Port -Steven Gaertner
55. Carlton -Jack Redden
64. Melboune - Brad Mangan
63. Carlton -Luke Lowden

I think that's way off though, although about 2 picks there make sense.

Re: Burgatron's Phantom Draft Due Today

Don't expect it would be reverse order. Seeing Moody is training with Fremantle, I doubt he would be the last selection seeing there are 8 more picks after him. Can't see them all passing.

I think you're right.

Probably just easier to wait an hour.

All those kids (bar mature agers) were invited to state screenings and not DC. That is a massive coincidence.

Smart money on it NOT being the reverse order of Burgan's PD.

EDIT: correction, think Zac Clarke went to DC. So I dunno. Still big coincidence.

Shouldn't Cousins's name be on that list somewhere?

Not sure where to go next with the url...70200 doesn't work for the time being.

Re: Burgatron's Phantom Draft Due Today

70200 just popped up which relates to a meet the Roos day on Saturday from 10-2, fancy having it while the draft is on.

Doesn't sound like a bad idea actually. Get the new players straight from the dome to the fan day.
