AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 75, Adelaide
75. Adelaide - Hugh Sandilands
Tall Defender. 191cm, 82kg. Oakleigh/Caulfield Grammar
Possible comparison: That's Hugh Sandilands, not "Huge Sandilands” from Fremantle. Hugh is a mobile tall defender like Rivers at Melbourne and Sam Fisher at the Saints. While not a similar player, Hugh Sandilands has something in common with Chris Judd as they both were captain of the football team at Caulfield Grammar.
Why: The Crows are going to lose some of their taller defenders in the next few years and Sandilands has the attributes that many of their current players do, like Bassett and Massie he can play tall but also produce a lot of run from the back line.
Worth a reach: James Allan, had a big year in the SANFL.
Hope they slide: James Wundke, a tall player from SA, could be developed as a forward or ruckman.
Selected at pick 75 in the 2006 AFL draft:
PASS (Collingwood)
