I just query if he’d develop quicker & flourish playing as a mid, or even as a forward pocket.
He’s a lethal kick with enormous upside, who Hawthorn wanted at pick 4 - but for some reason we’ve been determined to play him in a role he’s clearly not suited to, having never been a defender through his junior years.
We never felt the need to “develop” Warner, Rowbottom or Florent in the backline.
I’m sure Horse has his reasons - I just don’t know what they are. And I hate seeing top talent wasted.
I agree and I think it's definitely time we just get him into the mids and let him develop his game in his preferred position. But it's looking increasingly likely that if we want him playing midfield, it will have to be in the VFL, due to lack of spots in the 22. I'm OK with that. Whether Horse is...
