Depends how you look at it:

2014 - Had us taking Weller, the best available on her list at our pick was Daniel McKenzie
2013 - Had us taking Cripps. Had the order accurate before then.
2012 - Had us taking Menzel. Had the order accurate before then.
2011 - Had us taking Jordan Murdoch. Predicted Bootsma to go earlier at 18 was next best available, and Daniel Markworth after that.
2010 - Had Brodie Smith going to us at 18. Went to Adelaide at 14. Best available remaining were Jayden Pitt, Jed Lamb and Isaac Smith
2009 - Had us taking Aaron Black at 12. Kane Lucas best available (predicted to go at 10), followed by Talia.
2008 - Had us taking Cotchin ahead of Kreuzer

So if we'd had Emma Quayle, we'd have still ended up with Bootsma and Lucas, Jayden Pitt ahead of Watson, and Cotchin instead of Kreuzer.

Sack Quayle.

So as Agro pointed out we could of got the same result for a lot less money.

Doesn't EQ base her phantom on whispers, rumours and who she thinks clubs will take rather than the order she actually rates the players? She does release her phantom @ midnight the night before the draft.

Think there was a change halfway through.

First few versions of it seem to be top 25 best players of the draft
After that, seems to be prediction of order (hence the accuracy of the top 25).

May as well have hired Agro. At least he would have picked Murdoch.

Is it true that this afternoon Barker was advised he is out of the running?

Barking up the wrong tree?

I hope not because apparently its his job and this whole exercise is an elaborate charade......

Gee, I didn't think my email to the club would have such an immediate impact. :lol:

not in her top 25

Credit to Brett Anderson who was the only one to link us to Cripps, but when pushed just went with the "Seems like a reach" cliche rather than just admitting that as Patty was from WA he'd barely have seen him play.

Twomey, Quayle etc all provide interesting information about the kids and what clubs might be looking for but a) aren't talent scouts and b) would watch little junior football club outside of the champs or as they are Vic based, the TAC so take them for they are....
