He also needs to get into the gym and bulk up.
IMO he's shown something at both ends and i'm hoping that he can replace Hendo in a year or so.

Wouldn't mind seeing him have a go off a half forward flank or perhaps in the forward pocket. He's not a key position player, at least not yet but he's tall and seems to be a good runner. Perhaps he should be looking to play similar to Jack Gunston.
He could probably play off a wing, would be handy dropping back in defence and covering space. Got a fair bit to learn about playing in defence still.

He looked pretty shaky with ball in hand down back. Playing as a 3rd tall down forward for the next few years should do the trick. Needs to really, really hit the gym.

Tally up their averages and it doesn't look great. Hawks are superior because they don't let opposition numbers get back into their 50 quickly, and they operate with two quick smalls and a very quick medium player in Gunston up there.
Walker would be the Gunston equivalent, but then you've only got one quick small in Armfield.
Yep, it has a lot to do with the midfielders and whole team's work ethic/strategy. Hoping Bolton addresses a lot of these issues.

From memory the Bulldogs were into Jaksch as well, when we recruited him the club said he would need a couple of good pre-seasons to bulk up a bit. Would be handy as the third tall I think with the option of swinging him back if need be.
Far too early to be writing him off as a bad recruiting decision.

A tall mobile forward would be handy...........

he should play all positions
He needs to grow a pair. He has talent, but by gosh is he sheepish out on the field. First course of action for BB and his assistants... give KJ a cup of HTFU, or else we're looking at another Luke Livingstone.

Thread should read "Should Thy sit with KJ's mum at matches to discuss his development and other footy issues?"

Once he bulks up I hope we see a change. For someone who has been in the system for a couple of years when he came to Carlton he sure was skinny.
Won't make it. Another one to put in the CFC resume of recruiting bloopers.

Disagree - I think KJ can certainly make the grade.

No reason why he won't.
Maybe............It didn't work for Patrick McCarthy though.
Would be very happy to see.............if not ripped muscles...........at least some definition on Kristian by February.
I recall saying that he won't get a game in 2015 given the physique when I first saw him at close range......

Same Harks. I was quite shocked how skinny he was when he saw him last preseason. Needs to him the gym big time this preseason.

Better than seeing him come out of Maccas or KFC.
