Thing about Rowbottom atm is, he can be bumped off the ball a bit easily because he is still like 19 or 20. So you just need to put a bigger body on him, rather than tag.
I have a dream where in about 5 years him and McCartin both get AA honours for the first time
Certainly two likely types.
It's a scary prospect when you think they are both still 4-5 years away from their peak condition.
McCartin is 20 as a KPF. In most teams he's probably been in the NEAFL til this year and is only just debuting.
Rowbottom is 19 and already playing a key role in the engine room. I recall the only question mark about him in his draft year was his endurance. He wasn't anywhere near ready to go for full time minutes like other mids in his draft year, so couldn't get those 1-2 possessions and impact from contest to contest to follow the play. He won't have the tank for that until a few pre-seasons at least, nor the physical strength to match it with those he's up against, and yet he's already doing a bloody good job at it.
