AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 10, Adelaide
10. Adelaide - Chris Masten
Midfielder, 179cm, 78kg. East Fremantle
Possible comparison: Paul Hasleby plays a similar type of game, accumulating a huge amount of the ball. They both handball accurately and just know where the ball is going to be, and also where it has to go.
Why: The Crows need to rebuild their midfield structure. Ricciuto has retired, while Goodwin, Edwards and McLeod don't have many years left. In a few years, Masten should become a leader in the middle for his AFL team, the Crows will need someone like that.
Worth a reach: Levi Greenwood, the Crows don't have a lot of local options in the early rounds and Greenwood has been a star in the SANFL.
Hope they slide: Ben McEvoy is a small chance to slip to this pick, he would give them a needed marking target at centre half forward and also add to their ruck depth.
Selected at pick 10 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Nathan Brown (Collingwood, tall forward/defender)
