Will be a really good player for you.
Lots of Saints fans really frustrated with how he was used and subsequently cut.
Played largely in the midfield at Sandy and was a gun. Is fast, wins a lot of contested ball, excellent decision making and a knack for kicking goals. When called up to the Saints seniors, frequently played in the highly rated ‘defensive forward role’ with strict instruction (it appeared) to not go into the centre.
As a result, really struggled to get into many games... ends up getting 10 or so ineffective positions or 14 touches with 3 goals having made the most of every touch.
Tended to work better when paired with other strong crumbing players in addition to talls that bring the ball to ground. I noted that the majority of his better games came when paired with Wright who was a less talented but similar player.
As many have pointed out... injury was the other big concern, barely got on the park the last 2 years.
