I like him better up forward or even the odd occasion in the guts or on a wing.

Yes I know he plays there a lot but I’m not a fan of him in defence can get found out because of his size. If I was an opposition coach that would definitely be a plan to try to exploit him because of his size.

Play him on a wing!  Or even at half forward we can get rid of Rioli or Castagna to make room for him.

So he was playing great as a mid so move him out-  :wallywink
Needs to go back to playing mid/forward. We continually get smashed in the middle but refuse to play guys who are mids. Graham is another.
