Matt Burgan's 2007 Phantom Draft

Just thought I'd post this up here see what people think? Would we be happy with this? I'm liking Palmer at 6.

Not sure if Pears will be available at 23 or if he has the height to make it as a KPP defender. As Matt Burgan comments the order could vary a lot between our picks, so I'm hoping we could even end up with a slider like Selwood, Dangerfeild, Rioli, Veszpremi or Ward. If not Whitecross, S.Browne or Greenwood will do. Surprised no mention of McGinnity. Doesn't seem like there are too many KP defenders going around.

It comes down to a choice over whether we think that we should try to find a diamond in the rough at pick 71 and have the player most likely to turn out to be crap and gone in 2-3 years, or use it on the crap on offer in the PSD.

There is nothing of value on offer in the PSD at all, let alone at pick 5.

So I would say take a punt on pick 71. We've then also got 2 rookies spots as well I think??
