Have to say I'm really starting to feel for this kid.

Not convinced he's been played in the right position

In the VFL he plays mid

In AFL it's HF

His kicking (taking out set shots for goal ;D) is elite compared to some of his team mates

Would like to see him in the middle a bit more, as the outside clearance go to player

100% this

Played out of position for sure. Not a crumbling fwd. Def outside mid. Needs to put head over the ball a bit more when he has the chance

If I could ask our footy dept. one question at this stage of the season, it would be why haven’t they tried Tyler Sonsie in the midfield more? Had a very strong preseason, has racked up the ball in the VFL but they continue to play him fwd.

Not saying it’s wrong but am curious.

Sonie is poo - forget about him he won't make it.  Too soft

Could be right there Knighter but why die wondering. Play him for the next 4 games as a mid or even give him Shortsteps role where it seems you are not expected to cop contact.

Would much rather see the ball in Sonsies hands than the panic merchant.
