AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 69, Melbourne
69. Melbourne - Peter Summers
Midfielder/Small Defender. 184cm, 83kg. Sandringham VFL
Possible comparison: A strong midfielder in the VFL but might be played as a back pocket in the AFL, could be a bit like Guerra is for the Hawks.
Why: There were times in 2007 when Sandringham might have been as good as the Demons, and this was in part due to the many injuries the Demons had, but another reason is the quality VFL-only players that Sandringham had on their list. Summers could be a small defender who can step into the Melbourne team and they may need that type of player with Brown retiring.
Worth a reach: Scott Thompson, the defender in the Geelong VFL team, not the former Melbourne player who is now with the Adelaide Crows.
Hope they slide: Shane Valenti, another Sandrigham player who might be in the AFL in 2008.
Selected at pick 69 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Ben Warren (Kangaroos, medium forward)
