Out of Hobbs, Sinn, Sonsie- I’d take Hobbs but our recruiters have shown a tendency to place a lot of store in a player‘s underage years- Rozee, Georgiades are the most recent examples of this. Sinn and Sonsie will, therefore, be very much in the phrame with our first.
I disagree with ASE to...
We will go best available migfielder- Ward, Hobbs, Erasmus, Wanganeen-Milera, Johnson, Goater or Sonsie. If available Sinn might be too good to pass up. As of a week ago we hadn’t even spoken to Draper.
Will people stop blindly predicting that Port have traded up the draft board just to take a player they could have traded down to get- and just because he is South Australian.
State what your club needs to do with (a) it’s first pick and (b) what its main needs are from the rest of the draft.
Port
First Pick- #10 Speedy Midfielder or Forward/Midfielder
Later Picks- Small Forward, Key Position Player
KM- this question was posted by an earlier Port man but I can't see that you answered it- Hinkley has indicated taking our first pick #9 to the draft and commented that first rounders can get you ready made players who will play in 2017. Of the first round probables, who are the ones most likely...
Port ALWAYS go best available in the first round, so if he is the best left, they will ignore the pace of Kavanagh or Hoskin-Elliot, even though they do need pace.
Pigswoddle. No club would tell their recruiters they must get a token. Just as likely Worsfold will do a "Hey, Hey" and get Lynch and Cox to paint their faces black.
I can really only judge these things from Port's point of view, but this phantom is the best so far in predicting what Port will do. I too see Taylor going to Port at #9 and we would certainly take Butcher at #8. We will not take Tapscott at #8 or #9 but would find it hard to pass on him at #16...
If that is the top 7, I am almost certain Port will take Lucas and Butcher. And we'll be so busy partying we may forget to be at the table in time for #16.
Re: Roos Fanatic Top 50 2009 Phantom Draft.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Phantom Drafts that have Port obsessed by local boys are rubbish and lose all credibility for me. If #8 and #9 went to Carlton there is no way anyone would be considering Tapscott or Panos with those picks.
Hate the way every stupid Phantom Draft has Port picking up a South Australian everyone else wouldn't look at for another 10 picks just so Port can send him a bus ticket to get to training instead of a plane ticket.
Our captain is from WA ffs. Port will pick the best available at #8.
