Perhaps it's the change to defence that has helped but yeah, shockingly that's true. Even his critics on the Crows board (of which there are plenty) would admit that his ball use and intercepting has been good. And he is getting it a fair bit. Whether he could consistently translate that to AFL level is an unknown. As I said, his one-on-one defending still needs a lot of work too.
Based on the way you describe him and the fact he will be 26 before next season, he is basically worth nothing, maybe a pick 80. Defending a bunch of unco's in the SANFL doesn't mean anything, especially so given the age. Straugn face *s whoever is in the ruck in the SANFL. Our rucks draw straws and whoever gets the gig including the 18 yr old 1st year Visentini annihilates the opposition. In his last season for us, he was one of the premier forwards of the SANFL and that hasn't translated to AFL success because the SANFL is poo. The KPP depth in the SANFL is rancid, dead body with rotten faeces still in the colon tier. He would be judged on his AFL form which is that he wasn't upto it as a forward and played 6 games as a defender this year. He didn't play in the AFL post round 8, in one of the weakest teams in the comp (admittedly with some quality KPDs). I mean if someone doesn't want to use their 3rd/4th rounder maybe, but even then, those picks can be traded for points. Noone is giving up anything of value for a 'could consistently translate that to AFL level is unknown' 26 year old.
