AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 79, Collingwood
79. Collingwood - Jaxson Barham (father/son)
Midfielder. 181cm, 74kg. Geelong/Lorne
Possible comparison: He could be a similar steal to Marty Clarke, and bring the Magpies a lot of speed and energy to the middle of the ground.
Why: Collingwood is a super-club of the AFL and one of the reasons is the tradition that they keep going, with things like their jumper and also by using the father/son picks. Barham is the latest of many father/son picks in recent times. Collingwood have a number of bigger midfield options, so bringing in a smaller player will be beneficial for their list. Some added speed is also something they would have been looking for. In the real draft, the Magpies will use an earlier pick to take Barham, and an updated mock draft will be posted soon with the revised AFL draft order.
Selected at pick 79 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Jesse White (Sydney, tall forward)
