He has also played down back previously. So clearly we have him earmarked to play either end as needs arise, a bit of the Hooker role. Current need is down back.
I think it’s a good move, gets him an early debut, you can’t have laverde and Redman as our two key defenders for 4 weeks. Then once the talls come back send him back to full forward in the vfl.
Was shunted into the backline at collingwood as they preferred Ash Johnson, which ultimately saw him delisted. Would be a shame if he didnt get an opportunity to state his case as a forward for us.
Having said that I’m not sure his style would gel the best with Caddy in the AFL, May on the other hand
