Gotta play him in the right position for his skill set and smarts ... and that, in my opinion, is up forward.
He needs to wear white boots I’m telling yer. Black boots always make a player look slow.Needs to compensate for his lack of pace with footy smarts. The very fact he is in the conversation is a testament to the fact he is a very good player. Far prefer him forward but fitting him in is the issue. I would like to see CJ, Lynch and Riewoldt in the forward line, add in Aarts, Castagna and Rioli and there is little space for him. So, you can put him forward when CJ is rucking but where does he go the rest of the time?

I'd play him instead of Rioli. Should go back to his original role of mainly forward with a turn through the midfield Has to gut run though but better than the wing where repeat burst speed is needed. Suspect it'll be a non issue in 2022 as he'll go elsewhere. Not sure he even knows what his best role is due to the leg speed issue.Needs to compensate for his lack of pace with footy smarts.

Was thinking the same thing. Especially in a final.when/if we get to full strength he’s almost a perfect medical sub
Yeah I've stuck fat. Can play, but I still think he'll may be squeezed out if we get all our best back at the same time.
No way, he got plenty of the ball, had at least 3 goal assist (both to Jason). He is a great mark and big body player, we need himKicked a goal, cost a goal ... pretty much a cost neutral sort of a game
