He couldn't get much of a lookin this year in the backline, so next year would be even more difficult to get a game there. It shouldn't be overlooked that he came to us as a forward. He's a great mark and a good kick. If we keep him (and he may well end up back in WA), he should be tried up forward. With his great play at Box Hill this year and increased confidence after winning the Box Hill B&F he might just make it as a forward. At the moment he's a long way ahead of DGB.Personally I think his best shot at making a career in the AFL will be to get traded to the Eagles as part of the Barrass deal.
I just can't see a spot for him in the Hawks given we will be getting Battle and Barrass. He will be so far down the pecking order for a spot in the backline when that happens.
