AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 35, Western Bulldogs
35. Western Bulldogs - Will Sullivan
Ruckman. 202cm, 95kg. Western/Werribee
Possible comparison: He is a big and strong player in the ruck, like Will Minson or Jason Laycock, and he also has a few hidden skills like those two ruckmen do. While he may not seem to be the most agile ruckmen, he might surprise his new AFL team with more skills than they expected him to have.
Why: Darcy is gone, Hudson isn't a long-term answer for their ruck spot, adding another big ruck prospect in this draft is a good idea. Will the Bulldogs have a Will-Will ruck combo in a few years, they might.
Worth a reach: Darin Stewart, the Bulldogs could take another key position play with this pick. They could develop him as a defender to play against the quick-leading forwards of the AFL.
Hope they slide: Scott Simpson, the Bulldogs need all the tall forwards they can get in this draft.
Selected at pick 35 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Mark Austin (Carlton, tall defender/forward)
