Craig HillAFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 2, Richmond
October 22nd 2007 00:09
2. Richmond - Cale Morton
Tall Defender/Midfielder. 192cm, 75kg. Claremont
Possible comparison: A taller and quicker version of Joel Bowden, using the ball accurately and often from the back half, but also getting into the middle of the ground more. In last year's draft, Andrejs Everitt was taken high after showing a great combination of height, agility and skills, Cale Morton is similar but more advanced.
Why: They are a bit little, so they can help rectify that by adding players that are large for their position. Morton could be one of the bigger midfielders in the AFL if they decide to play him there. The choice is Cotchin or Morton, Morton might have an extra 10cm on Cotchin and still be able to play the same position so that could be a reason to take Cale Morton at pick 2.
Worth a reach: Alex Rance, the Tigers need some size in the back line and Rance at centre half back would be a solid move.
Hope they slide: Kreuzer, so unlikely to happen, but it would be a great day for the yellow and black if it did.
Selected at pick 2 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Scott Gumbleton (Essendon, tall forward)
