Looks solid. I won't be surprised if Scrimshaw goes earlier than expected...even Carlton.

ESPN is who I write for during the AFL season and in the leadup to the AFL draft (see page one for link to all articles).

The above updated top 20 phantom draft I've just quickly completed after work for my Twitter followers and my friends on bigfooty given there was not enough time to get it into ESPN to publish.

English, SPS and Rotham are also local players though so it isn't really a knock-out consideration.

Do you think Logue would become a better midfielder than Rotham? Neither of them would bring the x-factor of SPS.

I told you this would happen

Thoughts on Port's draft so far Knightmare?

Good drafting imo.

Anyone have a bio on
MATTHEW SIGNORELLO?

Like the look of how you drafted and getting Mcclugage and berry whom are good mates is good move. Can't believe he went to you.

 

[vozzon]

Pretty happy

Thoughts on Port's draft so far Knightmare?

I'm happy with how we went. Just hope Marshall > English is the right call. SPP look awesome, really happy with Atley and Knightmares favourite Drew. Good to get 2 tough mids with those later picks. Surprised we didn't draft anyone with the later pick with sharenberg available (I think). Looking like we get a local young ruckman, Brett eddy and have herd a Glenelg medium forward in the rookie draft.

 

[Since 2001]

Hey KM,
Do you know much about Harry Morrison and Mitchell Lewis?

TBH im a-bit disappointed we didn't draft the likes of Jye Bolton, Matt Guelfi, Ben Jarman, Juhdan Dundon, Mitch Hinge or Tom Williamson.

Atley a win , Marshall's form in bigger games couldn't be much worst, can't win them all.

Morrison is a very good accumulating player.

I'm stoked with what we got as a whole. Very raw KPF and 3 very tough midfielders. Hopefully Eddy in the rookie draft and one of Dundon, Guelfi or LeBois and it'll be a successful draft in my eyes.

Knightmare which AFL forward past or present do you compare Patrick Kerr too?

Harry Morrison is Rockliff's Cousin great pick came second in the goal kicking test at the combine so should be a pretty good kick

 

[Glenny83]

Still very surprised Jonty Scarenberg didn't get drafted. Guess he's a real chance for the rookie on Monday.

Hey Knightmare, just curious but how long have you been writing for ESPN for? Off the top of my head, can't recall seeing any mention of them in years gone by (unless I missed it haha).

Only occasionally float over to these parts (normally this time of year for obvious reasons) but when I do I always look out for your phantom drafts. Just happy to see you seemingly progressing in life with your draft watching passion.

Keep up the great work mate!

Hey km port has followed suit as every other draftyear; we see a need we attack it with every single pick. Reading through draft profiles pretty much all our mids arent the best kicks in the world how would you order them from best to worse? Also you ranked drew very high personally and there are conflicting reports that he is slow to get up to speed while you say his acceleration is a strength. Last question could you also please rank firstyear impacts

 

[hicksyshawks]

Tristan Tweedie

close ahaha

 

[hicksyshawks]

Hey KM with a lot of smokies being taken last night inckuding SF dion johnstone and cam polson, do you think smalls Sam Fowler, Kym Le Bois, Ben Jarman, Tyson Stengle, Dan Allsop and Tarir Bayok will get a chance in the rookie draft?

 

[Bicks]

close ahaha

Guarantee you'll take him in the rookie draft as you've nominated him as a Cat B Indigenous/Multicultural Rookie, kid can play and I believe the Hawks paid for his foot surgery earlier in the season so their into him.
