AFL Mock Draft 2007 - Update 1
There should be some excitement, possibly around picks 25 to 30, with Stuart Dew in the draft now. It has been Hawthorn that has been talked about as his destination, but a few other clubs could really use his kicking in September 2008. What happens in the draft with Dew could be similar to Saverio Rocca and where he went in the 2000 AFL draft.
Kepler Bradley is also a player who has nominated for this draft, he probably gets to Fremantle but if they want to be certain about that they may need to use a pick a round earlier than planned.
While they, and many others, may pass with their late picks, the Adelaide Crows have been given an additional pick at the end of the draft with Scott Welsh leaving.
An update, with team needs and other information, will be posted soon.

He would be a good chance to be drafted, in the national draft or the rookie one. 184cm and at least 85kg, so he has some size if he plays in the middle. As a defender, he might be a good fit for Melbourne or the Bulldogs, and they have plenty of draft picks to use. Thank you for all the information about him, and maybe next week he will have an AFL team.
