Plus, WADA should drop something before the draft. Can't be missing that!

omfg i'm already doing stretches to prepare for that.

Hi,

Am putting together a phantom draft which is always a lot of fun to do. I am not an expert so I thought Id visit individual team boards and ask the BF community members who know their teams best.

Thus far I have Weitering, Schache, Mills + Parish taken out of the pool. Im thinking you bid on Hopper here (less sure on Kennedy). Do you guys force GWS twice?

As for non-academy selections I think you guys go best available. For me thats Francis + Curnow but Id like to know what you guys think.

Yup Francis and Curnow, then with our 2nd rounders who knows maybe we get lucky and a Ryan Burton type slips through who knows.
 
Fair point. I just get annoyed that everyone thinks he must be picked at 4/5.

Yours is a valid point, as much as i like him he is not going to be an
Fair point. I just get annoyed that everyone thinks he must be picked at 4/5.

You are right in a way, he is not Judd so there is nothing to say he is an absolute lock to be great at 4/5.
Melbourne will take him anyway so it will not be our problem.

If you have us taking one of:
Francis, Weideman, Curnow, Oliver or Parish (likely be at the Dees).
Most won't argue with you.
 
Although I'm not a fan of how long the wait is, I think the length is there so each club can get to interview/meet with players families/speak with friends etc. to get an accurate understanding of who the potential draftee is etc.

Well it's mainly programmed so that he draft falls after yr12 exams have concluded - its seen as being less of a distraction for these guys in yr12 to find out where they are going after their last exam

Lock and load Francis. Close between Weideman/Curnow/Oliver/Milera however I'll go with Weideman.
 
This is why the draft period is this long.

Can go from hating a player to warming to a player to loving a player after them.having not played another game

Yeah, we need to go to the education department, and demand they start exams much earlier.
This is stupid, why am I starting to like Weideman, when I have seen no footage of the ****er?
I'll tell you why!









Too much time.

Anyone heard about us seriously looking into any DFAs? Gorringe? Colledge? Ballard?

Thought there would have been at least one DFA picked up by a club by now but nadda...
 
I should say it annoys me then. Make it 2 weeks after.

Should play everyone twice making it a 34 game season with 2 bye rounds and finals so footy is on for close to 42 weeks then we only have to fit trade weeks and the draft in a 10 week window.:):D
 


Watching now, for reference:

1. Keays
2. Parish
3. Johnson (goes off injured I think)
5. Partington
6. O'Kearney
7. Ah Chee
8. Tucker
11. Eades
14. Hopper
16. Cole
18. Balic
21. Francis
29. Curnow
25. Collins
23. Weitering
28. Schache
31. Wiedeman
30. Nyuon
32. Hipwood

That's most of the relevant guys

Right, but Ethan doesn't need prep time for exams, so why not hold those in June?
