AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Pick 8, Brisbane
8. Brisbane - David Myers
Midfielder/Medium Defender. 190cm, 85kg. Perth
Possible comparison: A bit like Josh Drummond if Myers is played as a defender, getting a lot of the ball and being more of an attacking player than a negating one. As a midfielder, Myers might develop into a player that is similar to Joel Corey or Scott Pendlebury.
Why: He could provide some immediate help for the Lions now, either joining Drummond down back or getting some minutes on the wing, and then after a few seasons Myers could take over from Lappin as an important running midfielder/defender that sets up a lot of the play.
Worth a reach: Cyril Rioli, the Lions still need a few more options around Brown, and Rioli could help there as well as in the middle.
Hope they slide: Brad Ebert, the Lions did trade for Johnstone but would still like another midfielder with some size. Ebert would probably be rated higher than Myers on their draft wish list.
Selected at pick 8 in the 2006 AFL draft:
Ben Reid (Collingwood, tall forward)
