I wonder what people are smoking talking him up as an inside midfielder. He ain't a midfielder of any kind. The reason why he hasn't been playing seniors is because he isn't fit enough (recent issues aside). Midfield is all about two way running. The improvement he's had so far doesn't give rise to any optimism that he will ever be able to cope with the endurance demands that AFL midfielders require. Stringer would probably run circles around him and he's not even fit enough to do full time mid.
He probably needs to make it as a 3rd tall or key position player at AFL level if he wants to play. Maybe at a stretch he could be a Gleeson type as a medium defender that plays tall and offers some rebound.
That said lets see what comes. Its only his 3rd year and he sounds like he's in a good place again so we'll see where he's at in a month or two and whether he can snag himself a spot (likely in defense).
