Maybe, but I'd be leaning more forward than mid. I just think he has more of an impact inside 50 than he does around stoppages. He gets more freedom when Walsh and McHenry have been in the team because the other two are quicker and carefully watched. He's stronger, harder to restrict, but not as damaging. However go forward, and he could well be the most damaging as that inside 50 target compared to the other two (who are better on the run). He's a bit of an awkward one for mine, I'm interested to see how the Cats develop him. Maybe he could be like that Caddy type who plays forward but can push up the ground. I just know you wouldn't play him on the outside or in defence.
I actually meant 70% forward, so I do agree with your thoughts. The few times I watched him, he looked better each game. I thought his work in the forward half was damaging and from all reports he has a monster tank.

My rankings update is usually on the 4th of every month but October’s rankings will come after the combines have taken place.

I have a few new faces in mind and combine results could have a say on where they sit.

I did watch the 17s All-Stars game but I don’t want to take too much out of it like I did last year. Of the players I hadn’t been able to see Elijah Taylor and Trent Rivers impressed me. I hadn’t seen him play down back before but was impressed with Fraser McAsey’s game.

Sorry where would you have him
At this stage the 10-20 range, next years draft is looking a lot more even at the top end so it’s hard to say from this point where he should go. If he improved on his form and becomes a dual AA in the championships then top 10 is more likely than not

Rankings update coming tomorrow, I have a shock inclusion and exclusion to my top 30 and both play in the same team with the preferred player getting a state combine compared to the national combine for the player who missed out.
You're taking out Rowbottom for Ayton-Delany I can't believe it
