AFL 2007 Draft Table Talk Mock Draft: Pick 29
29. West Coast:
Jarryd Morton (Claremont)
If they really want Morton they will use their first rounder on him, but the Eagles might be able to get him with this pick anyway. Morton isn't tall enough for a key position in the AFL, which is where a lot of his football has been played, so he would join the Eagles and their big group of versatile players that includes Embley, Hunter, Staker, Chick and others. Morton as the third or fourth forward might be the first spot he is tried in. He should be able to combine effectively with Lynch and Hansen up forward. Jarryd is a much taller prospect than his brother Mitch who is already an Eagle, and the expectations as well as the draft position will also be higher for Jarryd.
Nathan Krakouer: Goals are sometimes hard to find for the Eagles and a skilled player like Krakouer in the forward line might liven things up. The Swans have Davis, the Dockers have Farmer, the Eagles don't have a small forward who can change a game. Some of their midfielders can play forward, they also have Sampi on their list, but they are missing a few things that Phil Matera provided for them. Krakouer should be able to replace that and also contribute in other positions. An outside midfield role might suit him at Subiaco, and he would be a fan favourite there running along the wing.
Ben Reid: The Eagles are so loaded with talent that they couldn't find a spot for the 195cm Jaymie Graham on their 2006 Grand Final team, so maybe there isn't a real need there for the 196.4cm Reid, but that won't stop the Eagles taking him. The Eagles did trade away two big players in McDougall and Gardiner so some more height is needed on their list.
