Someone posted somewhere that he seems the type of player we trade to Hawthorn who then goes on to be a star. I think that's a bit harsh. We're not too bad at developing players. But we do perhaps take our time.This is a tricky one. He probably won't make it in the midfield at Adelaide. Jones and McHenry are already better suited to that role and arguably better players in general. I would have liked to see him play as a small forward but his tackling pressure looks way down this season tbh so I don't see him getting selected there. Could be another player who has his career saved by moving to half back? He's skilled and has the speed. Not sure he's good enough 1v1 though and he isn't a known intercept player either.
Honestly I think he'll be a good player but I have a bad feeling it's just not going to happen at Adelaide and we won't find out his real quality until he gets picked up by another club as a trade or dfa.
The reality is a first round draft pick should be best 22 by the end of his 3rd year.
