AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 3, West Coast
3. West Coast - Trent Cotchin
Midfielder. 184cm, 81kg. Northern/PEGS
Possible comparison: Brett Deledio is a good player to compare Cotchin to. They both have an explosive burst of pace, and when they are being defended by a player of similar size they also have the advantage in the air.
Why: They do have plenty of stars still there to put in the midfield, but another one would also be a welcome addition. They can't replace everything that Judd brought, but adding Cotchin might mean a player who eventually gets close to what Judd did.
Worth a reach: David Myers, he could be a tall midfielder for them and he is a local.
Hope they slide: Cale Morton, maybe it would eliminate the "go home factor", although the rest of the Mortons are now on the other coast. The midfield there can use some size so C Morton would be a good fit.
Selected at pick 3 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Lachlan Hansen (Kangaroos, tall forward/defender)
