2007 AFL Draft Prospect: Ashley Hockey
Name: Ashley Hockey
Height: 181
Weight: 78
State: Victoria Country
Club(s): Murray/Mooroopna
AFL Positions:
He might be the type of player who in the first few years of his career goes from the back pocket, to a tagging role in the midfield and then to being a very important midfielder who gets a lot of the ball.
Perfect Fit For:
The Tigers might be thinking of playing Raines or Newman in the middle more often, so adding a small defender like Hockey would allow them to do that. While they have added McMahon, they could also use another younger player too.
AFLinsider.net prediction:
Teams might think about taking Hockey in the third round. Geelong have a couple of picks in that round, and if they go taller with their earlier picks they might want a smaller player then. With Callan, and possibly Tenace and D Johnson going, there might be a spot for Hockey on their list next year.
AFL Fantasy Outlook:
If he does go to a solid team, a year in the VFL might await him. There is also a chance that a struggling team drafts him, and gives him a few games at AFL level. He can get the ball when he plays, but how often he plays is hard to predict.
