AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 23, Essendon
23. Essendon - Patrick Veszpremi
Midfielder/Small Defender. 181cm, 83kg. Northern/Bundoora
Possible comparison: The Bombers drafted Tom Hislop last year, Veszpremi is similar to him when it comes to how they play the game. They are both strong players who can play in the middle or in a defensive role.
Why: The Bombers lose Mark Johnson, Veszpremi could step into his role as well as be used in other spots. Sheedy will wish he had another year as coach there, as Veszpremi could be a back pocket plumber. He can play more than that specific position, he could have a lot of minutes in the middle and he is also a good option up forward too.
Worth a reach: Aaron Joseph, the Bombers need to rebuild their midfield and adding Joseph to Hislop could produce results.
Hope they slide: Addam Maric, he would be a good fit at the club.
Selected at pick 23 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Paul Stewart (Port Adelaide, tall forward)
