AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 26, Sydney
26. Sydney - Ashley Arrowsmith
Medium Forward/Midfielder. 188cm, 82kg. Calder/East Keilor
Possible comparison: Nick Davis can help win a game with a few big plays, Arrowsmith seems to also have the ability to kick a few quick goals, or set them up, and to make an impact in only a couple of minutes.
Why: The Swans lost one forward option when they traded Schneider, Arrowsmith could replace his goals and is also able to play in the middle too. The Swans are at the end of their "premiership window", so drafting a player that can contribute in their first year of AFL would be a bonus, Arrowsmith is ready to go in 2008.
Worth a reach: Jarrad Grant, if they don't go for a marking forward with their earlier pick they could add Grant here and put him beside Hall close to goals.
Hope they slide: Jack Grimes, he would bring the size and effort in the middle that their premiership success was built on.
Selected at pick 26 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Shane Edwards (Richmond, midfielder)
