AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 33, Port Adelaide
33. Port Adelaide - Scott Simpson
Tall Forward. 194cm, 91kg. Dandenong/Mt Eliza
Possible comparison: Damon White, he is a similar player who can accumulate marks around half forward, but Simpson might be a bit more versatile. While Simpson does his best work in the space around half forward, he should be able to also start in the goal-square with his leads.
Why: The Power could use one or two more taller forwards on their list, Tredrea will need to be replaced soon. Westhoff will need to be teamed with a forward with a stronger body and Simpson should develop into a well-built player.
Worth a reach: Patrick Dangerfield, he could replace Symes on their list as a running defender.
Hope they slide: Chris Kangars, Port Adelaide need a bit more height in the back half. Wakelin has retired, C Cornes spends more time in the middle now than he does at half back and Kangars could combine well with the running of Chaplin and Pettigrew.
Selected at pick 33 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Jarryd Morton (Hawthorn, tall forward)
