That is so close but I'd have Simpkin mostly for his superior speed and skill with footy in hand but both would be bargain picks at 20. Both have a great attitude and some great attributes for modern footy

Do we chuck Bolton in for a go?
I have Bolton way off the other 2. I'd consider him at 29 but few there are better options at 20. Needs to stop blazing away by foot if he is going to be effective up the ground at AFL level.

Cool, more so I was thinking he has good attitude, can impact almost immediately and revenge against the colliwobbles is always good mentality.

Yeah Jye Bolton
2016 Sandover medallist
Former Colliwobble and Werribee player.
Should be really good if we pick him up in the lower draft order.
How does he go round and how well can he adapt to AFL?
from a quick google search found his wafl stats. Geez the wafl website is good with stats!
He averaged 29.45 disposals, 5.6 marks and 3.5 tackles.
183cm midfielder, 24 years old. Definately deserves a crack in the national draft.
SANFL is even better check this out

If it's more of a needs based pick then Battle, but if its best available then Simpkin.

Bloody hell making player profiles is time consuming with still heaps more i could do, I should have my final update to my Phantom Draft on the 21st. I'll be doing every pick and include profiles of potential rookies. I'll be doing some minor profiles for players in next years draft aswell which will have its own thread on the Phantom board.

Jesus has nominated for the draft!? My big board has got to change:
1. Jesus
2. Super man
3. Genghis khan
4. Buzz Lightyear
5. Clug/McGrath
I'm sorry folks, battle will be a big slider...

Good to see Lochie O'Brien being talked about. I played a season of cricket with him; nice kid, quiet, not up himself.
Also coached against him in interschool footy. He tore us a new one. Single handedly won the game.
just had a watch of the SA futures game and I can see why you rate him he is a nice size and seems to have great footy smarts aswell

Jye was drafted as a rookie on the back of a Nick Maxwell rookie search at the back end of 2010 (iirc) and was subsequently rookie listed having previously not been apart of any elite underage system.
A running machine (pretty sure he runs an elite beep - 14+) and is quite a good user of the ball. The marking must have come on later but remember watching that pre - season game mentioned in the AFL.com.au article he dominated us at Gosch's paddock. A wingman/hbf at the time, he has progressed into one of the best state league onballers evidenced by his best afield in the state game and backed up with the Sandover medal as the WAFL best and fairest player of 2016.
Just thinking about it, would genuinely be excited at the prospect of him joining us. Could plug and play anywhere from onball to HBF or wing. Has a few tricks.
195cm and he also holds his school's 400m and high jump records. Can play footy too. Not sure of his best position at the moment. Probably CHF and wing. Didn't think being a defender in the U17 all star game suited him but things can change.
Nah looks good on a wing he has good speed and agility for his size and a good user by foot, still light but looks very exciting and unless he has a Jacob Allison like drop off I'd see a lot of clubs in the first round being very keen. Also Young Edwards has a ripper left foot on him.

Ghengis Khan would have a lot of father sons in the future.
its a little known fact that the old VFL defensive structure of 'building the wall' outside 50 to lock it in was a direct throwback to the days Gengis Kahn played for Mongolia FC vs China in the early days
