2008 AFL Draft - Our Phantom Draft
November 28, 2008 by Tristan Heffernan
As hard as a Phantom Draft is to come up with - we’ve decided to take the splinters out, get off the fence and put our necks on the line with an attempt of our own. Before someone takes a swipe at us for Fremantle’s apparent debacle at number 3 - this is the strong word around so we’ve gone with it. Otherwise we would have been sure they would take Rich. Then again, it is Freo, so who knows what will happen.
So without further ado, we present to you the Die Hard Footy Phantom Draft!
- Melbourne - Jack Watts
- West Coast Eagles - Nick Naitanui
- Fremantle - Stephen Hill
- Port Adelaide - Hamish Harlett
- Essendon - Daniel Rich
- Carlton - Michael Hurley
- Brisbane - Jack Ziebell
- Richmond - Tyrone Vickery
- North Melbourne - Steele Sidebottom
- Adelaide - Jackson Trengove
- Collingwood - Chris Yarran
- Sydney - Lewis Johnston
- St Kilda - Tom Lynch
- Western Bulldogs - Ayce Cordy (Father/Son)
- Geelong - Tom Swift
- Hawthorn - Sam Blease
Time to give us your thoughts! Where have we gone horribly wrong? Is Ayce Cordy the only one we’ve got right or have we nailed it on the head? Leave us a comment!
I doubt Carlton would let Yarren drop to Collingwood, they could do with someone like him at the feet of Fevola kicking 20-40 goals a season.
Yeah he looks to be the wildcard of the draft and wouldnt suprise me if he went as high as Carlton or dropped as low as Collingwood.
Even with all the talk around it is hard to believe that Freo would take Hill over Rich but as Tristan said nothing would suprise you with Freo.
eat your words tossers, Freo cant pick ….what about rising star 2008 Rhyce Palmer at # 7, 6 other clubs had a pick prior !! With a name like Tristan perhaps you should call netball instead……and if you dont think Hill’s going to be a star….then there’s no helping you
You are right Bruce, Freo have shown great ability to build a power house team.
Nice of you to come out halfway through the season and put your neck out Bruce!
Great work there Freo - Hill is nothing compared to Rising Star Rich.
Bruce, with comments like that, you displa all the qualities the Dockers encourage - stupidity, cluelessness and sodomism.
BTW Bruce, you’re delicious…
