November 19th 2007 00:28
Pick #21 - Melbourne Brendan Whitecross Zillmere Midfielder
To Compliment their forward stocks the demons add another talented midfielder to their ranks. Missed the first half of the season with an injury, however had a stellar end to the year. Really vocal out on the ground and has excellent disposal.
Pick #22 - West Coast Levi Greenwood Port Adelaide Medium Defender
West Coast would love another hard at it running defender/midfielder and Greenwood is just that. Loves to hit the packs and create run and carry. From what I have seen he is very hard to beat one on one and has a long penetrating kick.
Pick #23 - Essendon Patrick McGinnity Claremont Midfielder
Essendon will take another classy midfielder to replace its aging stars. McGinnity came second in the Colts best and fairest and is a real tough nut. He is very hard at the ball and player and wins lots of the football.
Pick #24 - Fremantle Tony Notte Tall Forward Swan Districts
Fremantle will look to add another tall forward to their brigade. Notte is a very athletic and mobile CHF/FF. He is a very reliable kick on goal and is a very strong overhead mark.
Pick #25 - Brisbane Tom McNamara Tal Defender South Adelaide
Another tall defender to Brisbane is a possibility as they sort out their issues down back. Tom will develop into a CHB. He reads the play well and is cool under pressure. He has the ability to win contested footy. He is also very disciplined.
Pick #26 - Sydney Addam Maric Calder Medium Forward
With the loss of the some small forwards, and with the others starting to kick on, Addam seems the perfect fit for the Sydney siders. He is a great crumber and has excellent goal sense. Can use both his left and right foot equally and has a good footy nous.
Pick #27 - Adelaide Dawson Simpson Murray Bushrangers Ruck
With the departure of Hudson and Meesen, the Crows will be looking for another midfielder. Struggled earlier in his career, then put on 20kgs and is now one of the top ruck prospects. His ability to improve got him into the Vic Country team as starting ruck. Great height and a solid build.
Pick #28 Port Adelaide Patrick Veszpremi Northern Small Defender
Absolute steal for Port Adelaide at 28. Broke his thumb and missed the championships, however he was a bottom aged AA the year before. Highlight of the year was when he kicked 8 goals in a half against Gippsland. Can play either up forward or down back. Is a great kick over 50 meters. He has a real touch of class about him that is for sure.
Pick #29 Hawthorn Stewart Dew Port Adelaide Midfield
The Hawks seem pretty keen on Stewwy, however could go to Adelaide at pick 27.
Pick #30 Adelaide Ashley Arrowsmith Calder Midfield
Adelaide will want another goal kicking midfielder and Arrowsmith is as good as they come. Can play on a wing or on a flank and kick goals. Had a terrific finish to the season. Very dangerous when near goal and is pretty accurate.
Pick #31 - Collingwood Andy Otten Oakleigh Tall Forward
Very athletic player who can go down back or up forward. His height is good and so is his weight. One of those players who could go high or drop low. Collingwood will show interest as they look to reform their back line.
Pick #32 - Kangaroos Chris Kangas Geelong Midfield
More of an athlete than a footballer. He runs 400m quicker than Cathy Freeman. The Roos need a genuine runner of the football and Kangas fits that bill. Not the best skill wise but the potential and the development is there for all to see.
Pick #33 Port Adelaide Steven Browne West Perth Small Defender
Port again will look for a new batch of smaller players with Browne. Played some senior football towards the end of the year and was BOG in his second game. Reads the play well off half back, and found that extra level when moving up from the Colts. He has a good ability to become the third man up and a contest.
Pick #34 - Geelong Joel Smouha Mt Gravatt Ruck
The loss of King will mean Geelong will be looking for a young ruckman to develop. The Development of Blake and West into handy footballers means there is less pressure on the player who the cats take, and also allows them to take another risk with high reward. Joel Smouha played his first season of football and was able to hold his own in the premiership winning Mt Gravatt side. Coming from a soccer background he has great athleticism and endurance. His skill by foot are a little off, however he is super at ground level.
Pick #35 Western Bulldogs Scott Simpson Tall Forward Dandenong
The dogs need another forward and Simpson is the best available now. He comes from a rugby background and has only played footy for 3 years. Is a tireless worker who presents up the ground similar to Reiwoldt. Is very professional in his work ethic and continues to improve every time I see him.
Pick #36 - Carlton Sam Ried Zillmere Midfield
Carlton need some more quality ball winners and Reid is a decent player. Had a disappointing carnival, however was good every other time played. Could easily settle onto a flank or in the backline. His disposal is pretty good and is a decent ball carrier.
Pick #37 - Kangaroos Patrick Dangerfield Geelong Midfield
The Kangaroos will look to add some versatility to their team and Dangerfield will do just that for them. Can play either tall or small and any position on the ground. Has a good work ethic, great endurance and very good speed. Could easily be a pick early in the 20s.
Pick #38 Western Bulldogs Aaron Joseph Tasmania Mariners Midfield
Became the first player to win back to back MVPs for Tasmania. The dogs would love another classy player who can win his own ball. He is a high possession getter who is very competitive and has a never say die attitude. Average 27 touches in 9 games at the under 18s. He recorded the best time at draft camp for agility and also had a pretty good sprint test.
Pick #39 - Essendon Darcy Daniher Calder Tall Defender
Essendon are guaranteed this player under father son. Considering there was a bid for this player, you would expect many teams to rate him.
Pick #40 - Fremantle Will Sullivan Western Ruck
Fremantle will look to fill the void left by Longmuir with the recruitment of Sullivan. A bit of a risk however he does have a lot of upside. Will have to work hard to make it at AFL Level. However his ability to run. His best game was against Bendigo where he had 40 hit outs, 22 possessions and 12 marks.
