AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 65, Port Adelaide
65. Port Adelaide - Matthew Westhoff
Tall Forward. 197cm, 83kg. Central District
Possible comparison: A bit shorter than his brother, but still tall. Can also kick a large amount of goals with just limited opportunities.
Why: Port Adelaide have been rewarded by playing brothers. With Chad and Kane as well as Peter and Shaun. Drafting another Westhoff with a low pick, if they actually do have a pick here in the real draft, is a good idea with low risk and high reward. Obviously the Power would have a forward line with a lot of height but not enough bulk with the two Westhoffs, so they would want to combine them with a couple of stronger players. That isn't a problem with Tredrea there, but after he leaves they will need someone like Cockshell or White to give the Power a power forward.
Worth a reach: James Wundke, another tall prospect from South Australia, probably is used as a forward although he could also be developed as a tall defender.
Hope they slide: Dean Putt, a better ruck prospect than Willets and a better forward prospect than Deluca.
Selected at pick 65 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Peter Faulks (Sydney, tall forward)
