Can guarantee if he was given a top class small defender, he would struggle to kick goals.
He is short, fairly slow and not that agile.
He works as an inside/hybrid mid, but at AFL level I cant see any team wasting him playing permanent forward.
The other reason Brisbane played him there is because they knew that he wouldnt be there in 2018 and they had a bunch of young kids they wanted to see in the midfield.
