AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 28, Port Adelaide
28. Port Adelaide - Dawson Simpson
Ruckman. 205cm, 97kg. Murray/Barnawartha
Possible comparison: Dean Brogan, but bigger.
Why: The Power know the importance of having ruck depth, and they will have to make some moves to make sure they have players coming through who can play when Lade and Brogan retire in a few years. Simpson would give them another big body to develop into an intimidating ruckman.
Worth a reach: Dan McKenna, Port Adelaide want to find a tall forward or two and there will be plenty to choose from at picks 28 and also 33.
Hope they slide: Ashley Arrowsmith, it is very possible that he will be available at this pick, Arrowsmith could be a forward like Dew was for them and appear every now and then with a few match-winning goals, although not from as long a distance.
Selected at pick 28 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Chris Dawes (Collingwood, tall forward)
