CATS POUNCE ON TALL TIMBER IN
AFL DRAFT
Ben Jensen 25 November 2007
By Ben Jensen GEELONG FOOTBALL CLUB DRAFTEES
THE CATS have welcomed five new players in the fold, most of whom stand
well above six feet. First picked was Harry Taylor, a twenty-one year
old utility from East Fremantle. Next two were two unrelated Simpsons
- 205cm tall Dawson from Barnawatha and 196cm Scott from Mt Eliza, each
18 years old. Rounding out the selections were Dan McKenna, 194cm tall
forward, and father son choice Adam Donohue, 182cm tall and a very economical
pick, requiring just the fourth round pick 60.
As widely tipped, Carlton selected ruckman Matthew Kreuzer
with their number one pick, and Richmond Trent Cotchin with pick two.
West Coast used their pick three, obtained from Carlton from Chris Judd,
drafted Chris Masten.
