Exact passage of play that got me thinking about it. Agree he's a defender first and foremost but utility potential.
TBH, it's handy, I get the discussion, but it's not what you are drafting him for.
If we want a big utility, I'll take Smillie tbh.
If you want a mobile 3rd defender type, you take Travaglia.
The very next two highlights are him getting jumped over and marked on by bigger opponents.
He's exactly as you described though, he might be a mobile utility defender in the Ridley/Sicily mould, but that is a huge price to pay for that type of player, further, it's based on pure guesstimatation (Which a lot recruitment is admittedly).
If he was 6cm's taller and moving like that, it would be a relative no brainer.
He's going to need to develop into an absolute animal physical to play as one of the key 2 tall defensive posts at AFL level imo.
