AFL 2007 Draft Table Talk Mock Draft: Pick 59
59. St Kilda:
Colin Garland. 193cm, 84kg. Tall Forward (North Hobart)
The Saints will not be playing home games in Tasmania next season but they might draft a couple of players from there. Garland is a bit of an unknown but he did play for Tasmania in the Under 18 Championships and kicked a few goals. The Saints will need a tall forward to step up into the senior team in a couple of years and Garland would be a good choice as a future replacement for Gehrig and Hamill.
Shaun Hampson: The Saints have plenty of options if they want to add another ruckman. With the addition of Gardiner, and the possibility of Koschitzke playing as a ruckman, it means that the Saints are covered in the ruck as they also kept Brooks and Rix. There are other veterans like Clark Keating available to draft, but if they want a future ruckman then Hampson should suit them. The Saints haven't really developed their own ruckman in recent years and this is something the new coach will look to change.
Matthew Vasilevski: A fast midfield option, so with Powell retired and the Saints not being too fast in the middle Vasilevski would be a good option at this part of the draft.
