2007 AFL Draft Prospect: Chris Masten
Name: Chris Masten
Height: 179
Weight: 78
State: Western Australia
Club(s): East Fremantle
AFL Positions:
The team that is lucky enough to grab Masten will want to put him right in the middle of the action. In 2008, Masten could be used like J Selwood was often used by Geelong this year, in a rotation off the bench into the centre.
Perfect Fit For:
Masten knows the right spot to be in at stoppages and he would get a lot of the ball if he was playing for Sydney next year. With Everitt and Jolly dominating the hitouts, Masten would be very productive in the middle. Masten's possible addition would provide a young player to take some of the load off their veteran onballers like Kirk, Fosdike and J Bolton.
AFLinsider.net prediction:
Plenty of teams will use their first rounders on tall prospects so Masten may go somewhere in the second half of the first round, assuming the Fremantle Dockers don't grab him earlier. But the Dockers already have Hasleby and J Carr so they might address a different draft need. Collingwood could be the team that gets him, they drafted athletes a couple of years ago and key position players last time, in the 2007 AFL draft they might look for help in the centre. Masten would be a good player for Collingwood to draft as he is ready to play and would be someone to take over eventually from Burns and O'Bree. Chris Masten is "The Masterpiece" and a definite first round choice.
AFL Fantasy Outlook:
Midfielders taken in the first round of the draft usually help fantasy teams. Masten would be a good choice for a cheap midfielder to start on the fantasy bench, a useful amount of stats and a solid price increase would be nearly guaranteed.
