AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 47, Collingwood

47. Collingwood - Alister Neville
Midfielder/Medium Defender. 189cm, 85kg. Coburg VFL

Possible comparison: If he does get the chance to play AFL he might be used like Sewell and L Ablett are, playing as an accountable midfielder but also able to get a useful number of possessions too.

Why: He is young enough that he can have a long AFL career, but he is also a player who can play right away and that might be a good move for Collingwood as Buckley and Licuria have vacated their midfield spots there. Neville could be someone who is assigned defensive tasks in the middle, or he could be played in the back line at AFL level. As a defender he would be very mobile and would be a good option on players like Corey Jones and Ryan O'Keefe who can play close to goals or in the middle of the ground. While he should get a number of AFL games next season, at Collingwood he would also be useful to their new VFL side due to his experience playing in the VFL with Coburg.


Worth a reach: Mitchell Farmer, a smaller and younger option than Neville if the Magpies want a tagger or back pocket.

Hope they slide: Andrew Renton, the Magpies did bring in a ruckman for now when they traded for Wood but there is still room on their list for a young ruckman to develop.

Selected at pick 47 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Kyle Reimers (Essendon, small forward/midfielder)
49
