The issue I see is that no one else wanted him at the draft so why should we? How does he fit our list needs?
A quality key defender is probably our biggest list need. He'd be battling it out in a large group of not quite right types for the role. Goldy too short, Roughead too cumbersome, Madgen too small, Kelly too inexperienced, Marsh a crap kick. He has a combination of size, speed and a small (perhaps not enough?) sample that he can play at the level which I reckon makes him an intriguing option. But honestly I reckon we've moved past the bad old days of terrible kicks in the back half.
