AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 24, Fremantle
24. Fremantle - Matthew De Boer
Midfielder. 185cm, 81kg. Claremont
Possible comparison: How he moves and plays the game, he is comparable to Simon Goodwin.
Why: For a midfielder he has a bit of size. The Dockers have the smaller onballers, and can also throw a few tall players into the action, and De Boer would provide a medium-sized midfield option. De Boer has played a lot on the wing, but he does have some experience playing as a forward. The Dockers could also find playing time for him up forward.
Worth a reach: Sam Reid, he would use the space on Subiaco effectively and would get a lot of the ball in the middle for the Dockers.
Hope they slide: Patrick McGinnity, the Dockers don't really need many more small midfielders but McGinnity would add some run and that is something they require a bit more of.
Selected at pick 24 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Brent Renouf (Hawthorn, ruckman)
