My Phantom Draft (Top 50) 2016

[yaco55]

Not every North pick in every phantom draft, I have agreed with quite a few actually, but I have disagreed with most of North's phantom picks because they haven't fully addressed north's draft needs. I have only claimed knowledge about my club's needs from the draft, not every club. Furthermore, I have already outlined who I've wanted from the draft, so seem you've been reading my posts, you should know that already.

It is clear that from a number of the phantom drafts that some phantom draft posters don't understand every club's needs, which is more than fine, because few ever do the work and why would you waste hours researching other club's you don't even like for a footy forum.


There is absolutely no point in me making a phantom draft as I only fully understand my own club's needs and I won't even pretend to understand over club needs fully. I have been polite in each thread I've disagreed with and outlined perfectly rational reasons.

You fail to realise that clubs usually don't get their first or second or even their third choice at that given selection - So it makes sense that clubs can't always choice for needs at a given selection in a draft - This is the concept your fail to understand or accept - Phantom drafts aim to predict what clubs will do at each selection, taking into account all the variables.

It's a concept I understand and accept perfectly fine. It is some of these variables and alternative draftee choices that I have been questioning, as even as back up choices (based on what is available), some of the draftees we have been linked to, would make absolutely no sense for my club to pick up. Clubs that have plenty of kpd's or flankers are not going to pick up another one in a draft, no matter the circumstances you outlined.

Yes, a club isn't going to get what it wants in terms of list needs with all its picks, but they aren't going to be stupid and load up on a player type they already have plenty of, unless they absolutely have to (which only happens at late picks anyway). That is the sole concern I raised with a few of these phantom drafts, as the types of back up picks that north were linked to, are types we have plenty of, I.e. Flankers and inside mids and it would be beyond poor if my club picked up said draftees as it'll further weaken north's already questionable list balance.

isnt fisher from Perth?

You appear to be correct. I must have confused him with Sam Fisher when looking up my "Inside Football Guide To The Draft".
