Pick 47 ~ Bradley Helbig

I know Helbig plays midfield in the VFL but how are his defensive skills?
Steve Morris is no lock as a long term back pocket and you often see mids or even forwards (Leon Davis etc.) go back and find a niche.
Has Helbig been tried in this role or does he have the attributes to make a nice small running defender who is more composed that Morris?

Nice idea, though he's been underwhelming as a back pocket in the seniors so far. I wouldn't mind seeing him tried as a defensive forward, he's certainly manic enough in his attack on the ball to create an intimidating King-like presence up there. Also played forward a fair bit as a junior IIRC.

In keeping with the philosophy that all young players should be transitioned into the team via the back line Hardwick did actually use him there against WCE last year before subbing him out.
 
Mistake to delist a Richmond player that can perform in finals?

Remember helbig was very good for the seconds in te game that was lost by a kick after te buzzer, at punt road

Although both much maligned. Hunt and Gordon are simply more accomplished players than Helbig.
