Craig HillAFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 42, St Kilda
November 1st 2007 01:19
42. St Kilda - Ashley Hockey
Midfielder/Small Defender. 181cm, 78kg. Murray/Mooroopna
Possible comparison: Baker without the reports, or maybe Birss with a few more possessions per game.
Why: They probably go big with their early pick, and they will want to add midfield depth with a few later picks. Hockey could find some playing time there as a back pocket as well as in the middle. Thompson retired, Harvey isn't young, Schneider might be more useful as a forward, Armitage and Howard didn't do a lot in 2007, the Saints have a spot open for another midfield prospect.
Worth a reach: Matthew Lobbe, a forward/ruck prospect who could be the third tall forward for the Saints in a few years, although with Allen on their list they might think Lobbe is too similar of a prospect.
Hope they slide: Luke Sampey, the Saints will want a tall forward at this pick if they have not used their first rounder on that type of player. With Gehrig and Watts both gone, the Saints need a leading player working out of the goal-square.
Selected at pick 42 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Bachar Houli (Essendon, midfielder)
