AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 49, Port Adelaide
49. Port Adelaide - Robbie Tarrant
Tall Forward. 196cm, 92kg. Bendigo/South Mildura
Possible comparison: He has been watched by AFL scouts for at least 4 years, and a lot of that has to do with who his brother is. Like Chris, he will get plenty of marks and for every goal he kicks he will get a behind. Is a tad taller than his brother.
Why: The Power need to find one or two big forwards who can join Westhoff as the Power's forward line of the future. Tarrant would be a stronger forward and that could compliment what Westhoff does. Tarrant has been injured a lot, with knee and shoulder problems, and a team that doesn't need immediate help might be a good spot for him and at the Power he could develop in the SANFL and then replace Tredrea when he retires.
Worth a reach: Shane Valenti, the Power went with Rodan a year ago after he played mostly in the VFL, with Valenti they would be drafting one of the best players currently in the VFL.
Hope they slide: Dayne Zorko, a good replacement for Mahoney on their list.
Selected at pick 49 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Daniel Currie (Sydney, ruckman)
