Cal's phantom draft here

He doesn't do a phantom until just before the draft. These are rankings, not where he expects to players to be taken.

that's the dream but what chance is it?

fingers crossed chance

Or trade up to use for Wilkie?

Cal's phantom draft here

Cal is the best in the business I've changed some picks later but he has came out and said Duursma and CDT will most likely go to WCE. And I think Robey and Taylor are the best fit for Richmond.

[Bornadog]

Cal also mentioned we might try trade up for the sun's first pick. If we do that I believe it will be to get Farrow or maybe a slider like Josh Lindsay? If we stay put I'm all in on Dovaston or NHH both smart forwards but NHH I think could move up the ground eventually and has match winning ability so I wouldn't be against picking him up.

I've updated my mock draft after doing a bit of reading and watching some highlights also going more of Cal who is the best in the business. I have added in compo picks and also went ahead with the sun's and blues picks that will mostly likely be traded for points.

2 Sun's Uwland bid
3 WCE CDT (Allen Compo)
4 Rich Robey
5 Lions Annable bid
6 Sun's Patterson bid
7 Rich X.Taylor
8 Ess Sharp
9 Carl Dean bid
10 Ess Lindsay
11 Ess Greeves (Draper compo)
12 GC will trade Shubart
13 Saints Grji
14 Carl will trade Cumming
15 Hawks Farrow
16 Swans Marsh
17 Dogs Dovaston
18 Freo NHH

When will the completed ratings be available?
Is this your site?

Nah, not my site - I saw their first lot on X and have given them a follow.

Not sure when their full list will be out, but they seem to be dropping each section every 4 or so days. I saw them mention there's a phantom draft coming post the top 50 rankings too

[GVGjr]

The 21-30 of this website's countdown dropped earlier today. Draft looks a bit stronger given the calibre going outside the top 20

Scrap Xavier Taylor as a watch. Can’t see him getting passed Essendon’s picks after that game.

Dovaston was electric. Maybe I’m team Dovaston over Hibbins-Hargreaves atm

Yes, Taylor will likely go top 10 and Dovaston performed well.

[Willow18]

There’s a chance the first 7 live picks fall to 3 clubs (Eagles, Tigers, Dons)

my assumption is Duursma, Duff-Tytler, Robey, Taylor, Sharp are 5 of the first 7. The other 2 then are a complete guess between the likes of Lindsay, Grlj, Cumming, Phillipou, Greaves, Dovaston, NHH, Marsh, Farrow… and any of those guys could fall to us.

[Bulldogs201616]

Not that this affects us but Robey is a legitimate chance to head to West Coast with the first 2 picks. I can't see him getting past Richmond

Yeah no chance X.Taylor gets to our pick after that performance. As for the Dovaston call I would take him in a heart beat but even he might go before our pick after that performance.
