Well it won't be much of a surprise if you keep talking him up like he's the next Keith Greig.

He'll outrank Keith AND Greg.

Alright, I’ll bite:

• you’ve talked a lot about his versatility previously. Which position do you think he ends up in and why?
• what past or present player would you say is comparable to his ceiling?
• obviously the lack of continuity he had as a junior dragged down his draft number. But what do you see as the key areas he needs to work on before he can have a successful afl career?

Geez MP, I can see it now from Inside The Kennel, "Thanks for your kind words & questions, we'll be back in a moment after this add break".
