AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 30, Adelaide
30. Adelaide - Chris Kangars
Tall Defender/Midfielder. 193cm, 84kg. Geelong/Geelong Amateurs
Possible comparison: Tom Williams was a similar tall athlete who was drafted as a big defender but also with the potential to play in the midfield.
Why: The Crows were a bit short at times in the back line, so they need to add another tall defender or two. Last season, the Crows did have to move some of their forwards to the back line, and against Franklin they went with the shorter Massie. Kangars would be an option with more height and much better running capability for when the Crows take on the league's big forwards.
Worth a reach: Luke Sampey, he could end up being a good replacement for Scott Welsh in the future.
Hope they slide: Dawson Simpson, trade week wasn't great for the Crows as they lost a couple of ruckmen and only gained one. Simpson would add to their ruck depth.
Selected at pick 30 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Ricky Petterd (Melbourne, midfielder/medium defender)
