He is fierce, freakishly strong and improving.
He's putting Rioli and George under the microscope. And maybe Lynch.
There's something of early Jake King about Aarts. A bloke who shouldn't even be out there, of 5'3" playing as a leading forward. Hitting space and demanding the ball. Playing tall.
And then the small game.
There's something of Caddy when we played him tall. Something of Townsend. Of George when he played tall.
Aarts is playing a position we call 'dirty trick'. A small playing tall, hitting the holes, with talls playing blocker and decoy. When he's not playing actual small - and pretty well.
And then we slot him into Lambert's role for a bit. Up the park and roving.
Anyway, he's been a revelation. Of his scope and our structures and tactics.
