It's here!

For those keen draft watchers amongst us, they'll see some familiar names back again for 2020.

But we also have some new phantom drafters taking part, all who have been active posters on this board over the past few months.

I've also taken over running this thing, with Snoop Dogg currently being AWOL - Gold Coast was reserved for Snoop and I've kept it vacant until the very last minute in case he turned up, but instead their one and only pick will be a consensus selection between a few of us.

Adelaide - Thunderstruck
Brisbane - briztoon
Carlton - ModernArtillery
Collingwood - Pie 4 Life
Essendon - eDPS
Fremantle - Ysaye
Geelong - Bastyy
Gold Coast -
GWS - PMBangers
Hawthorn - Davo-27
Melbourne - Chris25
North Melbourne - giantroo
Port Adelaide - Macca19
Richmond - Smythe
St Kilda - Knightmare
Sydney - andleanback
West Coast - Monocle
Western Bulldogs - Wizard17

Rules
- Time frame is always the big talking point and there won't be a set limit this year, rather a 'reasonable' length of time will be given. The draft is shorter this year, and historically this thing ebbs and flows throughout the day so there's no need to rush. But if it goes on a bit long, a pick will either be made for the drafter or it'll be skipped over until they're back
- Academy and F/S players are able to be bid on. Someone will do the points calculation and adjust the draft order accordingly
- The number of picks is based off the article on the AFL website a few days back, and is the maximum number of picks a team is likely to make. I've also adjusted the order to suit, so the numbers may not always match as expected
- Any further changes in real life will be reflected if appropriate
- Gold Coast have prelisted Alex Davies and Joel Jeffrey, their other linked players are available

I think that's everything? For everyone watching, enjoy and get involved.

Thunderstruck is on the clock

Pick 1: Adelaide – Elijah Hollands
  • Index
    • Pick #1 Adelaide - Elijah Hollands Murray Bushrangers 189cm 85kg

    For me this decision was fairly easy - he's #1 on my list, hence no bid on JUH.

    An ACL injury cruelly ended his season although nobody else could play footy over there either. Before this he was putting in some impressive performances as an underage player and was destined to be a standout this season to essentially cement himself as that number 1 pick. But I am not letting the knee waiver my confidence in his ability because if it's just the one knee, then he should be fine. If he does two like Baldwin then it may be a worry but for now we will focus on the clear positives.

    Hollands is a dynamic and powerful midfielder/forward who can be that player who says 'come with me lads' and stamp his mark on the game. He has great skills and a burst combined with strong overhead marking making him dangerous up forward. Can run rings around opponents with outside dash but is perfectly competent at winning his own footy and has the frame to do this consistently at AFL level. Genuine star potential, he can be the jack of all trades and master of many to boot. Strong appetite for the contest and capable defensively. Only possible weaknesses would be his tank to play at such a high level in the middle all the time rather than rotating mid/fwd and his production, however he is more of a high impact per possession player. His 20 will be better than almost everyone else who gets 30 etc.

    As far as the crows go though, he is everything we need and haven't really had in a long time, that tall and powerful type of modern midfielder who can kick goals from the middle or forward. He reminds me of a more complete version of Andrew Embley from the Eagles golden era.

    Pick #2 North Melbourne - Riley Thilthorpe West Adelaide 200cm 100kg

    Riley Thilthorpe

    Forward/Ruck
    West Adelaide
    201cm/100kg

    A tough choice between the cult hero of WA, Logan McDonald or the modern day beast, standing at 201cm and 100kg, Thilthorpe was too good to pass up. The big mans’ athleticism and versatility allows him to play as a key forward, ruckman or even play as an extra mid/wingman, similar to the likes of Todd Goldstein, Rowan Marshall and Brodie Grundy. His style fits into the modern game with a decent base of endurance along with his ball-winning ability below his knees that makes him an exciting prospect. As a key forward, he can create separation on the lead or take a contested mark while possessing the ability to kick goals on either side of his body. Riley is very effective in his tackling and his secondary efforts at ruck contests are second to none. While he has been beaten at ruck contents due to bigger opponents, he has ruck smarts in that he can palm the ball to advantage quite well and can clean up the ground ball if need be.


    Strengths

    - Contested marking ability
    - Versatile - can play multiple positions
    - Athleticism - Impressive below his knees/ constant secondary efforts/ ball-winning ability
    - Disposal - excellent ball use and decision making on both sides
    - Coverage of the ground - good endurance/tank
    - Ruck smarts - taps to advantage

    Improvements
    - Ruck leap
    - Durability
    - Speed

    Testing details

    Yo-Yo test - 20.7
    2km Time Trial - 6.34m

    Highlights




    Overall, Thilthorpe will fit in well with the likes of Nick Larkey, Charlie Comben, Cameron Zurhaar, Tarryn Thomas and Curtis Taylor in the forward line while also covering for the likes of Todd Goldstein and Tristan Xerri in the ruck. He would be a valuable addition at North Melbourne’s first selection.

    Full season behind him I think everyone would be agreeing with this. Best non-aligned player in the draft IMO.

    Pick 4: Sydney Swans – Logan McDonald
  • Index
    • Pick #4 Sydney - Logan Mcdonald Perth 196cm 87kg

    I really thought I’d be taking Thilthorpe at this pick, but I’m sure swans fans are over the moon landing Mcdonald. As buddy’s illustrious career nears the end, they desperately need someone the fill the key forward post for the future. He will be ready to go round 1 next year and is already quite capable competing against men as he demonstrated in the wafl this year. Hopefully buddy and heeney can get on the park next season as it will create a mouthwatering forward line, while also taking some of the pressure of Logan as he develops.

    Davo-27 you’re up

    • Pick 5: Hawthorn – Denver Grainger-Barras
  • Index
    • Pick 5 - Hawthorn - Denver Grainger-Barras - 194cm 78kg - Swan Dist

    i think if 1 of the main talls falls to us we would take it, we need tall talent at Hawthorn and i think Grainger-Barras will hold down a key position in our defence for a long time, i love the way he plays, he defends well, he intercepts well, never say die competitor, also did very well at the combine, i think he would be a good pick up for us.

    Props to Adelaide and North if they went 'all our year's of draft research? Nah I just want to see Chalsa follow through'

    Would be a little unsettling having two clubs entire recruiting teams watching
     
    With Hollands, Thilthorpe, Jamarra, McDonald, and DGB gone, Phillips is the remaining member of the "fantastic five" (plus Jamarra) that Twomey talks about, and would be joining his old teammates if he went to GC. My non-drafter opinion would be him for the next pick.
