That's what I thought. I wouldn't mind seeing him given a chance to play in that position at AFL level. I don't think he's going to make it as a forward, but defence may be the answer.
Saw him live down at the bay last year a few times.
From what I have seen he was very good floating off the HB flank at SANFL level - but I just think he doesn't have enough weapons to hold down that position at AFL level.
He is a competent footballer and from what I have seen doesn't have any glaring weaknesses. Its more the fact that he doesn't have any stand out weapons which will see him succeed at AFL level. I don't think he is quick enough for that rebounding role at Half Back at AFL level. His disposal is good - but not exceptional. He is quick for his size but not overly quick.
The only way he might succeed at AFL level is if we use him in the Sub role due to his versatility. Can play as a makeshift forward/wingman/defender and he could find himself in the rotations as we work through our team balance in regards to playing a 2nd ruckman (McKernan) or letting JJ be a 70/30 forward/ruckman.
