AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 63, Collingwood
63. Collingwood - David Ellard
Small Forward/Midfielder. 175cm, 72kg. Swan Districts
Possible comparison: Like Medhurst or Eagleton, a small forward who might also have the potential to play on the ball but is better when used closer to goals. Ellard has the potential to kick a lot of goals if he gets plenty of playing time up forward.
Why: In the real draft this could be where Barham goes as a father/son pick, the next mock will use the revised order so until then the Magpies will get Barham in the next round of this mock draft. The Magpies do have a number of small forwards that they play but there might be room for one more as Davis is spending more time in the middle. Ellard has played at senior level in the WAFL, and even if he lasts until the rookie draft there is a good possibility that he plays a few games of AFL in 2008.
Worth a reach: Tim Bongetti, while they do have Reid behind Rocca they could also use another tall forward on their list. Bongetti is an accurate kick for goal and can also take a contested mark.
Hope they slide: Mitchell Farmer, he plays the way a lot of their players do, with hustle and intensity.
Selected at pick 63 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Tyson Goldsack (Collingwood, tall defender)
