There's no room for him down back, I'm not sure what type of role he could play that would get him in the side down back and he was nothing but encouraging his first year as a forward where he's more greatly needed.

Think Greens' ball use gets underrated because of his size and playstyle you typically associate that archetype of play with not great ball use but the last 2 years his kicking is really nice, does a great job of mixing in touch kicks to give players time to run into space but then also putting it on players in tight windows. Really helps the midfield dynamic knowing that your main CBA midfielder is a good user as well, makes it easier to fit guys around him even though most of the midfield are good users.Our next All Australian is predicted by SEN to be Tom Green - have to say I agree!
Tom Green
It would take a brave person to bet against Tom Green being the Giants’ next All-Australian.
The 22-year-old midfielder was impressive in both 2021 and 2022, but truly broke out in 2023 which resulted in his inclusion in the initial 44-man squad.
Green finished equal second in the GWS best and fairest alongside Stephen Coniglio and behind Toby Greene. He was one of the more dominant midfielders in the AFL last season.
He possesses attributes as a bullocking inside player who tackles maniacally, can break away from stoppages and has fairly good skills.
It appears as though the sky is the limit for Green who is bearing down on a maiden All-Australian blazer.
The emerging Finn Callaghan shouldn’t be too far behind him.
Predicting your club’s next first-time All-Australian
We look at each of the 18 clubs.
Preuss only plays when Briggs is injured imo
Could Riccardi do it? Not ideal but not awful.
I’m hoping Aleer for the Keeffe role. He’ll struggle getting a game in defence and seems like a good impact option up forward with some ruck minutes.
Seems like a good idea.
Alleer not strong/thick enough through hips and legs to play that role imo.
I agree that’s the knock on him. Preseason pics seem to show he’s a bit thicker through the hips.
I reckon Fahey is in the mix for a wing spot.

Won't be surprised if Cumming is pushed out of the best 23 by Angwin.SEN quoting our Toby on the young and upcoming players who can take us to the next level this year.
Captain Toby Greene has identified several Giants who he feels can further improve the side, highlighting both Idun and Callaghan as players who can still find another level.
“I think Connor (Idun) can still go to another level and I think he will,” Greene said on SEN Breakfast.
“Guys like Darcy Jones, Toby McMullin has come back really fit and will be pushing to play as well.
“Finn (Callaghan) has taken another step as well. He’s absolutely flying.
“Ryan Angwin again on the wings. We were doing 150s the other day and it’s pretty incredible to see some of these boys running around.
The young and fringe Giants who can take the club forward in 2024
How do the Giants improve this year?
Cheese to crows n that case and a 1st round pick
Angwin legitimately has not looked like an AFL player 3 years into his career, not someone who is particularly prolific in the 2s and when he plays with the seniors goes unsighted a lot. Cumming wasn't that good on the wing in the backend of last year but lets see if Angwin can look like an AFL player first before he starts kicking people out of the best 22.
Well maybe Bont.
