Kidding ? Have him in front of WHE, Noble and Lipinski to name a few
You are aware that the three players you mention are currently ensconced in the senior side?
 
His year will be next year, just keep on pushing for selection for rest of year knowing an opportunity might come. another pre season and a little more bulk, he should see himself as a starter in this side, his biggest issue is belief at the top level, he always has looked a bit hesitant when he has played at the senior level. finding his position at senior level is the other issue, is he a forward or a mid. Skills need to improve, sharpness etc. Not sure who he is close to at the club, but it wouldn’t hurt him training with Naicos and the like to lift in that area
 
The key takeaways:

It was a vintage display from co-captains Lachlan Tardrew and Campbell Hustwaite on Saturday afternoon. Their leadership in the midfield proved to be one of the major contributing factors to Collingwood's success throughout the game. Tardrew (32 disposals and one goal) and Hustwaite (21 disposals and two goals) were able to get their hands on the ball consistently.

Mason Cox once again played above the level.. 52 hit-outs, 16 disposals, six clearances and five marks in wet conditions, Cox was significant in the ruck all afternoon, with his ability to dominate in the air crucial to team success.

Dynamic forward Reef McInnes demonstrated impressive forward craft, resulting in a bag of four goals for the afternoon. What was equally impressive was McInnes' ability to play minutes in the midfield too. McInnes finished with 16 disposals, six marks, four tackles and two clearances.

11 different players contributed to the score sheet on Saturday afternoon. A stat that reflects the fantastic connection and cohesion throughout the team, but also a real insight into the team-based game Collingwood is so good at executing. In addition to McInnes, Tom Wilson (three), Josh Carmichael (three), Joe Richards (two) and Campbell Hustwaite (two), all contributed multiple majors.
