Yeah he had, was a good prospect who was tipped to go even higher than 8, guess Heeney pushed him down and the bid more Moore otherwise he was top 5 in the draft behind, McCartin, Brayshaw, Petracca and degoey?
Yeah i think that's about right. Ironically the Bulldogs were reported to be hugely into him predraft with pick 6 before they flogged it off to GWS along with Griffin for Boyd.
He's a really nice shot on goal and a beautiful mark on the lead. My major knock on him was that he didn't have much contested marking ability and was a bit soft body on body. A lot like Watts for pros and cons really. Evidently he's worked on these things since getting to the GC.

He looks incredible .. his marking and strength in the contest for a second year player at the size of a Ruckman is amazing especially with the way modern footy is now with tall forwards all the rage
I reckon if you redid the draft today the saints take him number 1 because he has the potential be a superstar ... funny that he probably wouldn't have got a game if they still had Dixon and aren't the Bulldogs gonna regret not taking him
