Its on again......
Its that time of year again where we get together some of the best junior footy and state league watchers to act as Phantom Drafters ahead of this years National Draft. Its been described as a pretty weak draft and very even after 30 so it will be good to see where some players fall. As always there will be a bit of ‘foxing’ going on before the actual Phantom Draft which will happen after final lists are finalised.
Kick off
Wednesday will be the start of the National Draft. The Giants pre-selected players will go in over next 2 days or so.

The thread is one of the biggest hit every year and we love the comments from people who know particular players and want to comments / ask questions etc but pls remember its a really subjective thing and we dont want comments that arent constructive or abusive. These participants dont profess to be experts but watch enough to be dangerous and they are good enough to put themselves out there.
Participants (and why they were selected) this year are;
Adelaide – Wall-e (Thunderstruck has given up Crows this year and Wall-e gets his go – usually picks some great left fielders)
Brisbane – Quigley (Undoubtedly one of the best phantom recruiters and watch for his lengthy bios)
Carlton – Beowulf (hopefully he is on time this year)
Collingwood – Knightmare (showed his stuff last year and already has a mock 2011 Draft up this year)
Essendon – Foj1 (the best in the business – near perfect record!)
Fremantle – Chris25 (another of the most keen junior footy watchers and posters – will take some talent from SA / WA few have heard of)
Geelong – Ysaye (another from the West who has been around a while and whose selections are always on the dollars)
Gold Coast – Offsider (he knows his junior footy players very well)
GWS Giants – Snoop Dog (the wily veteran)
Hawthorn – Swannies (one of our longest serving and one of the best performers when you can compare him to the real deal)
Melbourne – Humble Minion (first year participant and the best TAC watcher going around)
North Melbourne – Jonts (new recruit......no pressure!)
Port Adelaide – Thunderstruck (one of our longest serving who has gone to the dark side to recruit for Port. Expect a few from NT Thunder to land)
Richmond – TFLUA – Tiger (our expert Tassie watcher who I think spends a fair bit of time watching TAC this year)
St Kilda – Monocle (2nd year up for this gun recruit from WA who spends to much time watching WAFL state league and Colts I suspect)
Swans – Raymann (New recruit – no pressure!)
West Coast – RoyalEagle (if anyone will fox in the Trial run its this bloke. Been the master for so long)
Western Bulldogs – HFF_07 (Good to have him on board – best state league watcher going around)
Participants.......please make sure
Same as usual. Keep the thing moving and make sure the bios are included so we get a sense of what you see in the player and why you selected them. If you are late Pm them to another participant with you preferred selections so they can post for you and keep it moving.
Priority Selections
As far as I know the only club which has formally activated is Brisbane so they are in but the rest are out for the purpose fo the Phantom.
Father / Sons
All father son selections are off limits until the start of Round 3. Ie if you want a f/s player you will need to take them before the start of Rd 3 or we will assume they are up for grabs.
Zone Selections
All zone selection players are available for selection in the trial run.
