You are right about all of those things so best case scenario is he will adapt as you say. The thing which makes him a potential flight risk is that he is from a close knit family. His family moved to Brisvegas to be with Mav, and the plan was to move to Vic this year when drafted. Mav is pretty underrated outside of St Kilda, he could even emerge this year as being in our leadership group. Having said that, Lachie is twice the player Mav is.
Flight risk, ah something we laugh at !!!.
If we can hold Pav, we can hold anything.
