This is my third phantom draft after completing the previous two years with very positive feedback. Admittedly, this draft was a lot harder to construct as it is essentially a lottery after pick 15 or so. So here is this year's effort...
#1 GWS: Jonathan Patton (Eastern Ranges) Height: 197cm Weight: 95kg D.O.B: 20/05/93
The #1 pick will either be Patton or Conglio. I have them going for Patton because players like him only come around once every blue moon. A physically imposing key forward with very strong hands overhead and on the lead in addition to being a lovely long kick of the ball. The beauty about Patton is that, unlike Watts in 2008, he should be physically developed enough to play regular senior footy in 2012 which is what GWS need.
#2 GWS: Stephen Coniglio (Swan Districts) Height: 182cm Weight: 76kg D.O.B: 15/12/93
A very close second behind Patton; Coniglio is the complete midfielder, similar to that of David Swallow. He is a big disposal-winner, uses it effectively, solid tackler, is quick and can snare some goals to go along with all of that.
#3 GWS: Chad Wingard (Sturt) Height: 181cm Weight: 73kg D.O.B: 29/07/93
A few phantoms have him sliding to Port Adelaide, but I still believe he is top 3 quality as he is a very exciting player to watch, and has been all year. He is a versatile goal kicking midfielder who can play forward as well, great agility and an elite left-foot kick. Played a considerable amount of senior footy for the Double Blues this year and greatly impressed, so he should slot straight into the GWS line-up as an outsider midfielder who can float forward.
#4 GWS: Will Hoskin-Elliot (Western Jets) Height: 182cm Weight: 73kg D.O.B: 02/09/93
The next best prospect in line, WHE is quality outside class, but that doesn’t mean he is a soft player, he certainly isn’t. Has the potential to become an incredibly damaging wingman as he possesses blistering pace, clean skills and good skills. Can also burst up forward where he can cause further damage. The Giants do not have a game-breaking midfielder, and WHE fits that bill perfectly. One of my favourites of this draft pool and will be an excitement machine for years to come.
#5 GWS: Billy Longer (Northern Knights) Height: 202cm Weight: 95kg D.O.B: 12/05/93
As far as I’m concerned, the Giants lack quality young ruckman, and Longer is the best ruckman in this year’s pool. A genuine tap ruckman, Longer has also impressed with his second efforts. Can also been thrown forward where he can take a strong mark and kick a goal. In a shallow draft for ruckman, Longer stands out.
#6 Port Adelaide: Dom Tyson (Oakleigh Chargers) Height: 186cm Weight: 82kg D.O.B: 06/06/93
Port are in desperate need of class midfielders, and young Dom is just that. Had an absolute ripping championships where he was named in the centre for the AA team. He also has size to go along with his elite skill set, which is what recruiters would drool over. Not the quickest player in the draft, but he is definitely a footballer rather than an athlete.
#7 GWS: Matthew Buntine (Dandenong Stingrays) Height: 188cm Weight: 83kg D.O.B: 19/10/93
He could easily go in the top five as he is pure quality. He is exactly the type of player that the Giants need, someone who can play in defence and through the midfield. Has exquisite skills, can read the play very well and is capable of both providing rebound from defence and is even effective at tagging roles from time to time. A ready-made player who should be able to line-up in round 1 next year.
#8 Brisbane: Liam Sumner (Sandringham Dragons) Height: 182cm Weight: 70kg D.O.B: 16/08/93
Probably the next player in the draft, Sumner is a potentially elite outside midfielder. He certainly has the attributes of one. Hehas real pace and x-factor along with terrific vision and the ability to spin out of tackles and make a real impact with only a handful of disposals. Hasn’t shown anything as an inside midfielder but is the best pure outside midfielder of this draft.
#9 GWS: Todd Elton (Dandenong Stingrays) Height: 197cm Weight: 87kg D.O.B: 29/04/93
Elton had a very quiet championships, not helped by injury however, but the talent and potential is certainly still there and pick #9 is probably about right for him. He is a mobile ruck/key forward who possesses strong hands and has decent skills for a player of his size. He and Patton up forward could very well develop into a formidable duo in the future, a mouth-watering prospect for Chocco.
#10 GWS: Taylor Adams (Geelong Falcons) Height: 181cm Weight: 80kg D.O.B: 20/09/93
A potential future captain, Adams has terrific leadership credentials and a classy inside midfielder to go along with it. Is generally a very good kick of the ball, has quick hands in traffic and is a very strong tackler. Definitely has the capability of becoming the next Jimmy Bartel, so this would be a terrific pick for the Giants.
#11 GWS: Toby Greene (Oakleigh Chargers) Height: 180cm Weight: 78kg D.O.B: 15/09/93
One of the best inside midfielders in the draft, Greene is a high accumulator of the ball who has very solid endurance, excels at the clearances and the type of player who will always give you 100%. Another class addition to the young Giants midfield.
#12 Brisbane: Adam Tomlinson (Oakleigh Chargers) Height: 192cm Weight: 86kg D.O.B: 10/08/93
A versatile KP who can be groomed to play forward or back, Tomlinson is a genuine talent who should be a very good fit for the Lions. He is a strong mark overhead which is an asset of a key forward but has also been capable of shutting down dangerous opposition forwards in defence. In addition, he can even play stints in the midfield when needed. With a very good attitude to go along with that, Tomlinson could very well turn out to be an excellent pick-up.
#13 GWS: Mitchell Grigg (Norwood) Height: 183cm Weight: 81kg D.O.B: 02/01/93
Despite poor testing, I think Grigg is still a class act and is still a first round pick. As we’ve seen, he has a very penetrating left foot kick who has very good decision making skills and endurance. I probably have him higher than most phantoms as he has slipped in the rankings due to poor testing, but I think he is a real “footballer” and has the potential to become a vital cog in the Giants midfield.
#14 GWS: Fraser McInnes (Perth) Height: 197cm Weight: 91kg D.O.B: 19/07/93
One of the, if not the best KPD in this draft, McInnes is someone who could play a considerable amount of senior footy next year. He is physically ready to go, he is a very strong mark overhead and great speed. It’s always important to have depth in every area, and McInnes can add to the Giants’ young KPD stocks.
#15 Richmond: Elliot Kavanagh (Western Jets) Height: 187cm Weight: 78kg D.O.B: 19/05/93
A lot of people may not have seen Kavanagh’s ability as he suffered injury throughout much of the year but he is the best available mid at this pick. Has all the tools to become an elite midfielder with speed, clean skills, great clearance work, solid accumulator and a great ability to read the play. He could easily go higher than this.
#16 Fremantle: Shane Kersten (South Fremantle) Height: 191cm Weight: 92kg D.O.B: 15/03/93
Missed out on the champs due to injury, but is still a good prospect. An undersized key forward but he is a really strong mark on the lead, has good goal sense, well balanced, and has a superb 50 metre+ kick that is also very accurate. Due to his size, he will probably end up either being a leading full-forward in the Fevola mould or a third tall, but a young and strong marking forward is what the Dockers are lacking at the moment, and due to recent cases of home-sickness, they would probably go for the local boy.
#17 Western Bulldogs: Brandon Ellis (Calder Cannons) Height: 181cm Weight: 81kg D.O.B: 03/08/98
After an outstanding year for the Cannons in the TAC Cup and championships, Ellis is first-round material. Despite his stocky build, he tested well in the sprints, he provides great rebound from defence as well as being capable of shutting down dangerous opponents. He’s also very courageous with his attack on the ball and with his ferocious tackling. He is also capable of playing stints in the midfield, and, IMO, is the best available player for the Dogs.
#18 North Melbourne: Sam Docherty (Gippsland Power) Height: 185cm Weight: 83kg D.O.B: 17/10/93
Docherty was not in the initial Vic Country side but was selected in the fourth match against Western Australia where he greatly impressed. He is primarily a half-back flanker who has explosive dashing speed which makes him a very dangerous player coming off of half-back. His kicking is also exceptional, and was the designated kick-in because of this as it can find targets and is very composed under pressure. A lot to like about him and #18 is around the mark for him.
#19 Essendon: Daniel Markworth (Calder Cannons) Height: 189cm Weight: 76kg D.O.B: 03/04/92
An over age player who is relatively new to Aussie Rules but the talent and ability is certainly there to warrant a first round selection. He is a tall midfielder with a neat kick, a great burst of speed and clean skills. He is this draft’s answer to Nathan Fyfe which, as we know, is pure class.
#20 Fremantle: Devon Smith (Geelong Falcons) Height: 175cm Weight: 73kg D.O.B: 10/05/93
If Smith was 5cm taller, he would almost be a top 10 pick, but his height will probably restrict him from that. Regardless, he is a small midfielder who has a great burst of speed and elite endurance that will enable him to rack up big numbers and kick a few up forward, where his strong tackling is also an asset. A Boomer Harvey clone who I think is capable of carving out a very strong AFL career.
#21 Sydney: Tom Mitchell (Claremont) Height: 181cm Weight: 79kg D.O.B: 31/05/93 (F/S)
The Swans should be stoked that they have snared Mitchell under the Father-Son rule when he would have easily been a top 10 pick. He is an outstanding inside midfielder. His attack on the ball is first-rate; he is superb in contested situations and also possesses great awareness and clean skills, both by hand and by foot. He is someone who will be ready to play AFL from round 1 and will be Jude Bolton’s eventual replacement.
#22 Carlton: Jackson Paine (Sandringham Dragons) Height: 193cm Weight: 87kg D.O.B: 21/06/93
The Blues could do with more insurance up forward, especially considering Mitchell’s fair share of shoulder injuries and the fact that Casboult is still a rookie and an unknown. Additionally, the other KPP’s they drafted last year are defenders (Watson and McCarthy). Paine is a key forward who has very strong hands, both overhead and on the lead who is also a capable midfielder due to his strong work rate and solid field kicking.
#23 West Coast: Jordan Lockyer (West Perth) Height: 190cm Weight: 85kg D.O.B: 15/06/93
Lockyer is a versatile and undersized KPP who can perform well at both ends with his extremely fierce and attack on the footy. He also has a big set of hands and does a very good job defensively.
#24 Gold Coast: Brad McKenzie (Sturt) Height: 188cm Weight: 75kg D.O.B: 29/05/93
McKenzie was one of SA’s best players throughout the championships. Like his namesake on the Gold Coast, he has a cannon of a left foot that can travel 60 metres with no problems. He has a great set of skills, a good reading of the play and he also has very good inside work. Will be part of midfield rotations as he can play on the flank and in the midfield.
#25 St Kilda: Myles Bolger (South Fremantle) Height: 199cm Weight: 80kg D.O.B: 25/03/93
With depleted ruck stocks, the Saints will probably snap up Bolger with this pick as he is one of the best ruckman in this draft pool. He struggled with injuries this year but is every chance to develop into a top line ruckman. He moves very well around the ground is also an exceptional tap ruckman.
#26 Richmond: Alex Forster (Norwood) Height: 189cm Weight: 75kg D.O.B: 14/07/93
Forster is a highly-skilled player who has played across half-back with stints in the midfield. He is a very good decision maker who consistently makes the right choices both by hand and by foot as well as displaying good run and carry with excellent vision. As mentioned, he has primarily played across half-back but I can see him becoming a tall midfielder in the future and could also be a part of rotations with Deledio and Houli.
#27 Adelaide: Hayden Crozier (Eastern Ranges) Height: 184cm Weight: 68kg D.O.B: 24/12/93
A special talent and a highlight reel, Crozier is someone who can spark his side whether it would be a sensational specky like the one he took against WA or a brilliant goal. Still, he is young, raw and needs to be more consistent but as we know, Dale Thomas had the same problem and is now an elite midfielder who still provides the X-factor for his team. I can see Crozier eventually becoming this player with the right development. His clean left foot and spark is definitely something the Crows lack, and should pick him up if he’s available.
#28 West Coast: Murray Newman (Swan Districts) Height: 177cm Weight: 65kg D.O.B: 18/11/93
Newman is a small midfielder/forward who has a fair bit of development left as his weight indicates, but he is a very dangerous player. He has pace, very good vision, the ability to find space and usually has very good ball use.
#29 Fremantle: Sam Frost (Sandringham Dragons) Height: 193cm Weight: 85kg D.O.B: 28/08/93
Frost is a very athletic KPP who can excel at both ends at the ground, but I like him better a CHB given his ability that he has incredible dash for someone of his size. With good development, he can become McPharlin’s eventual replacement in defence and could also fill Freo’s need for a KPD.
#30 Brisbane: Andrew Boseley (Geelong Falcons) Height: 194cm Weight: 80kg D.O.B: 04/09/92
A tall, lanky defender who has great speed and agility for a player of his size, Boseley is a very good shutdown defender, who is overage, but reads the play very well. He shut down Patton with success this year demonstrating his fantastic shutting down and defensive abilities. Still has a fair bit of development left but has Fletcher-like capabilities.
First Round
The #1 pick will either be Patton or Conglio. I have them going for Patton because players like him only come around once every blue moon.

Compensation Selection

He shut down Patton with success this year demonstrating his fantastic shutting down and defensive abilities. Still has a fair bit of development left but has Fletcher-like capabilities.
