Or play on those types like a Laverde hasYou should really draft someone likeevery year and see what kind of player they can turn into.
Bit of pick your own adventure given the tools he looks to have, potential to be a slightly undersized but strong, physical key position player like Darling or Mihocek or a Greenwood or Cripps in the middle.

I think theyve picked him with main plan to be a midfielder but knowing full well he can play anywhere and needs to train in all different spots to find his best place
Daily Advertiser (Wagga) said:"Wherever they (Essendon) put me I'll play. My favourite (position) is probably forward, but my best footy is probably as a midfielder.
"I don't know what the plans are but whatever it is I'll have a crack at."
Voss picked up by Bombers in rookie draft
Turvey Park junior Patrick Voss and his family are celebrating after he was picked up by Essendon in...www.dailyadvertiser.com.au
Nice write-up on the new lad.
193cm is the latest raffle number for his height too.
More so in the VFL as the 4th tallest defender whos very versatile (Only need an injury)I don’t see how he could feasibly get gametime as an actual key defender given the sheer amount of other tall backs we currently have on our list so I’m ruling that out for the moment.
He’s taller than Baldwin, he could in theory play full forward next year.

Idiot? Yes.This might be the first time I've heard Jack Darling described as physical

Darling is 4th amongst active players for contested marks, given he cannot jump and isn’t particularly quick, I would say using his body has played quite a large part in that.

He also tends to be a lot shorter than his opponents.
He's a very strong player.
I've always thought of him more as a leading type than the 'physical' type.
Physical to me is more a player like Hawkins who'll stand under a high ball and wrestle, or a Zurhaar who just smashes through opposition all day long.
We're probably cross purposes a little bit.
Darling is not a pack splitter insofar as such a player still plays AFL, not by any stretch. He's not stand and deliver in the way Hooker was either, that's not really possible at 191cm on reach alone.
You're right in the sense that power on the lead and his craft is probably what makes him most dangerous but I've often found him almost Lloyd-like in the way he can work over an opponent 1v1, or even a pack, to win a ball against taller guys. He probably wins more than his fair share of wrestles.
He's also got a set of shoulders on him and a chest that would match anyone pound for pound.
Looks like hefty Mitch Marsh
With a chuck of stoinis
One of my best memories of NLM is him wrestling both Carr brothers at the same time then dropping one of them (Matthew I think) with a short right hook.
It's got nothing to do with Voss but gee that was beautiful to watch
