AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 64, Kangaroos
64. Kangaroos - Jackson Hall
Medium Defender/Midfielder. 187cm, 76kg. Gippsland/Traralgon
Possible comparison: He can play loose around half back like Heath Scotland, getting a lot of the ball. Hall can also play as an effective defender on several types of players as well as on the wing.
Why: Hall should eventually become a midfielder in the AFL and the Kangaroos will need a bit of size there in the coming years. Early in his career, Hall could play in the back half and at the Kangaroos he would combine well with running players like Jesse Smith, Michael Firrito and Jess Sinclair. Archer was often a loose defender in 2007, that is a position that Hall would be an option for.
Worth a reach: Jake Spencer, a ruckman from Queensland with plenty of size. The Kangaroos do not have to draft a ruckman as they have that position under control, even though they traded Moran, but some extra depth is always a good idea.
Hope they slide: Ryan Normington, he could be a future replacement for Simpson in their midfield.
Selected at pick 64 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Nick Gill (Adelaide, tall forward)
