AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 45, Hawthorn
45. Hawthorn - Jay Bowden
Midfielder/Medium Forward. 184cm, 74kg. Glenorchy
Possible comparison: A player who can go forward like R O'Keefe does at Sydney, although Bowden is a bit smaller, and also get a large amount of possessions when played closer to the middle.
Why: He is a versatile player, as the Hawks don't have any specific need they can take Bowden knowing it adds depth to several spots. He has played as an outside midfielder and a leading forward and could probably handle the back pocket if needed too.
Worth a reach: David Ellard, if the Hawks want another small forward for their list they can look to WA which should provide several players like that in the draft.
Hope they slide: James Mulligan, the Hawks have a very effective forward line but in a few years Mulligan could add another huge target.
Selected at pick 45 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Brennan Stack (Western Bulldogs, midfielder)
