AFL 2007 Draft Table Talk Mock Draft: Pick 19
Round 2
19. Carlton:
Daniel Connors. 182cm, 77kg. Midfielder (Bendigo Pioneers)
Connors added to Murphy and Gibbs, and Carlton would have a rejuvenated midfield after this draft. But maybe they would need a couple of seasons to grow, not that Carlton would expect a big jump in the standings next season anyway. McGrath played 19 games last season, a lot of them in the backline, and Connors could fill his spot in 2007. Connors would also give them another option on the wing or in the middle too so he would be a useful selection for the Blues.
Shaun Grigg: Midfield game combined with a bigger body, or could play up forward and kick a goal or two and get plenty of possessions. If Carlton want some more height in the middle of the ground then Grigg is a chance. Might have been a better chance to be selected here if Fisher and Russell were not brought back.
Mitchell Brown: It isn't news that Fevola is volatile, and it wouldn't be a shock if he was traded in a year's time. Carlton have Waite and Kennedy but they need the space around half forward and don't yet have a game to play from the goalsquare. Brown would give Carlton a player who like his brother, another 2006 draftee Nathan Brown, could play at either end. Brown could be a backup for Fevola, or an option in the backline along with Whitnall, O'Hailpin and the returning Thornton. But if Carlton do go tall with pick 17, then this pick is unlikely to be another tall pick.
