AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 5, Western Bulldogs
5. Western Bulldogs - Ben McEvoy
Tall Forward/Ruckman. 199cm, 90kg. Murray/Dederang-Mt Beauty
Possible comparison: Drew Petrie, when he starts up forward and then plays a few minutes as the backup ruckman, would be a player to compare McEvoy to.
Why: The Bulldogs were a short team even when Darcy and Grant were contributing in the forward line, they are both gone and the Bulldogs really need height up forward now. The Bulldogs have said they are considering five tall forwards for this pick, McEvoy would be the tallest out of those prospects.
Worth a reach: Alex Rance would be a solid choice here too, but height up forward is more important than extra height down back right now.
Hope they slide: C Morton probably goes at 2 or 3, but there is a chance he slips a couple more picks.
Selected at pick 5 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Travis Boak (Port Adelaide, midfielder)
