Of course he looks great measured up against some of the back pockets we've had before.....but has he really been that great down there? Who are the great small forwards out there these days? Milne & St.Kilda were in rapid decline by the time Morris hit the scene....Rioli's either been injured or out of form whenever we've played them.....then there's Carlton...Betts still had days out....Garlett & Yarran would have if they kicked straight...hardly Morris' doing....Le Cras' been absent......it's was wet last time we played Port & Wingard. He stopped Sydney's smalls at the G , but they weren't needed last year up there as White & Tippet carved us up. How'd Elliot go two weeks ago?
Can't fault his endeavour or intestinal fortitude , but I watch him at our home games....IMO he has several flaws in his game that are a liabilty down back, but which could be minimised and even turned into badly need assets in the middle. Could easily do Thomas' job but way better.
Of course it was a only a suggestion mainly in regards to a situation that isn't helped by our current inabilty to select Miles (and the fact Helbig's a dud IMO.) and I realise it would create a new dilemna in who to replce him down back with...hence why I said "..or something..."
