Would be a good pick up in this draft, could be a star. I wouldnt have minded picking him up at 58.

I think the question mark on him is he's played most of his junior footy as a FF yet his size means he won't be a FF at AFL level. More suited to a midsized forward role but can he play that role and does he have a defensive side to his game which small and midsize forwards need in modern footy.

The big knock on him is his lack of speed, which is kind of important for a player of his type
