If he's a forward who knows how to lead, he might be in the side sooner than you think because I haven't seen a lot of leading and breaking away from our forwards of recent years.

Havent had a forward who could lead properly since Eddie Betts.
It'll run a close second to "woof", they'll get onboard quick enough.
I can hear it now ............... "Go Wang" !!!!

I let out a scream and fist pump when we finally picked him. Thought it wouldn't happen
I'd written him off from the start; purely out of the evolutionary survival theory where the runt is sacrificed so as to give the stronger a better chance of thriving. In our case it was the player I saw as having the least innate talent as opposed to the actual runt in Zac Fisher. 
Seems I might not have given him enough credit.

He was an extremely talented, but one-dimensional forward, who was quick off the mark and marked the ball at the highest point.I'd written him off from the start; purely out of the evolutionary survival theory where the runt is sacrificed so as to give the stronger a better chance of thriving.

He's now working extremely hard to cover ground, which is great to see. His draft position was about right, but he's taken his chance with a vice-like grip.
Is he any more one dimensional than Shache? He is an U18 FF playing in a comp where they have to maintain position in the forward line. Doesn't really allow for a more rounded game unless you are tall enough to ruck. He was a massive slider and is showing why he should have gone much earlier despite poor agility testing and the poor sucesss rate of key forwards outside the first round.

Schache is/was a bigger frame, and was winning the ground ball. Was monstering opponents in every way possible.
I know people like to point out JGM had a good game on him one time, but he also received some absolutely horrible delivery that game that allowed JGM to catch him on the lead.
Speaking of JGM where is he?
Didn't see him on the live strean and he is not on the injury list.

Still, arguably the least talented of the group given his lack of versatility. However, that was also the knock on Fev before he was drafted.
Needs to be able to launch himself for marks not just be a lead up
I remember Fev turning on a 5 cent piece in his draft highlights and thumping it across his body and putting it through post hight from about 50.
A lot more quicker and agile than Kerr with a lethal right foot, but had an average tank.

Did that just fine in the juniors, there's also a great grab he took on the weekend that featured in the higlights, take a look.
Juniors?
I remember him chasing down one of the quickest players in the draft pool in the TAC Cup (don't know if was called that back then) final and he never missed a goal. To be fair, the claim was not precisely his lack of versatility (I was paraphrasing) but something like the lack of any definitive AFL quality. I would have thought his strengths were obvious, despite also having some obvious weaknesses.
Cant wait to see how Patty improves this coming year , After watching him run around at Northern last year was very impressed with his ability to read the play and he always reminded me of Lance Whitnall .. something similar there.

A lead up centre half forward with McKay taking the role that Casboult plays.
