He's an inside mid who missed a lot of his U18 year and his first year at the club.

Think of him as a second year player; if he gets through the season unscathed and plays a few AFL games in his preferred spot that's a win.

Plenty of inside mids take a bit of time to build their bodies; Cripps and Oliver doing it in their 2nd year is a bit unusual. Players with a strong outside game like Daicos or Sheezel can play off a flank instead of waiting for the body to develop to play on the inside.

He's 3 year younger than Durham for comparison, Durham only really stepped it up last year at 22, Tsatas will be 20.
