"He's been incredibly impressive (in the pre-season). He's as athletic as Alex, he's got traits that are incredible to watch and even at training, we watch him and go, 'Wow'," Hardwick told AFL.com.au.
"What he is, is he's very raw. Once we refine him into the player we think he can be, we think he's going to be a very good long-term player.
"Is it going to be this year? Who knows? We hope so. But it might be 12 months down the track.
