Looks good either end

Reckon he prefers forward though
Yeh gonna be interesting what we do with him. He looked really good in defense last year but with Carlisle, Howard & Wilkie not sure theres any need for him to play back. Has a huge tank so could go wing but we've got Billings & Hill there at the moment, a nice conundrum to have.
 
Probably more of an opportunity for him forward than back at the moment but that can change quickly. I'd use King, Battle and Membrey as the three main talls in the forwardline for now but if one of Carlisle/Howard went down with an injury then Battle would be the logical replacement.

Unusual to see a player look equally adept in defence or up forward. Very natural footballer.

Be surprised if St Kilda let him leave, good footballer, good size, good kick, reads the game well.
Biggest risk is if he decides he wants security and stability, we've played him forward, back and chucked him in the middle, he's been a real hole plugger. A team comes along saying they've got an opening at CHF and offering a decent contract, he might decide to take it.

No way we're planning on letting him go
