Draft talk for 2009

[Bas]

I can't see us taking Ball, not if he doesn't want to come up here.

It would be a little hypocritical if we did considering our stance on Bradshaw being allowed to live and play where he wishes.

[DST]

Absolutely no chance of us taking Ball with pick 14.

We will draft the best midfielder left at 6 and then a KP defender at 14 if one of the suitable ones the club has their eye on is left at pick 14. If not it will be another midfielder.

After that they can go fishing for some x factor small forward.

If you read this, we are still a shot at Jetta at 14. We'll see . . .

Personally, though, I understand where the Eagles are going. Brad Sheppard was a major kick @@@ guitarist in the Hoodoo Gurus.

Don't we already have a great stock of young midfielders? Bird.Hanneberry,Nathan Gordon,Taylor Gilchrist.Meredith.plus a few others then the old brigade which will be good for a couple of more years.
Defenders also are coming out of our ears.I would rather grab an x factor forward like Jetta and turn Lewis Johnstone into a KP defender

[Jeffers1984]

Rohan at 6 and Jetta at 14 will definitely address our speed issues no doubt.

Still want Talia at 14 though.

I'm now definitely on the Ranga bandwagon! Rohan for #6!

You can never have too many quality midfielders. The game is all about endurance and speed now in 6 or 7 minute bursts. Midfielders can rotate in the forward line and particularly the half forward and half back lines.

Rohan at 6 excites me. All the experts say there is enormous upside considering he's had just one year in the TAC Cup system.

My only concern with Jetta is that he's made it fairly clear by my reading that he wants to stay in Perth.

Lucas looks like a Simon Black clone. Given the unbelieveable off season we've had so far you never know, he may slide to 14.

Burgan's Phantom Draft has us taking Rohan and McMillan-Pittard in the first round.

The drafte thread's a bit full so thought I'd start a new one specifically for the Burgatron...

For those that don't know, Matt Burgan does a phantom draft every year PRIOR to the real thing. Sometimes he's right, sometimes he's not.

God forbid we could open a separate thread on the number 1 football story in the paper today....

[Bloody Hell]

Can we uncombine the Phantom draft??? Mods?

With the later picks he is constantly saying the Swans need to replace Fosdike, Crouch and Schmitt. I think we've already gone a long way to addressing those issues.
