Apart from his 2016 season, which seems to be a knee injury aberration, his role has been as a ruckman - and key forward when not in the ruck. If you can't see that then you're not watching the same games that I watch. Of course, you could be right and SOS and the stats are wrong, but I don't think so
As for hanging on to fragile ruckmen, gambling on Kreuzer having a good season is a solid bet, Phillips has potential and is contracted and De Koning and Lobbe provide decent backup. With the exception of De Koning, none of that lot can hold down a key forward spot while not rucking and that's justification for hanging on to Levi as a backup ruckman.
Sorry DJ cant agree...watched him play about 6 games in 2009 for Dandenong in the TAC and they were all at FF, think he kicked 40 plus that season and was close to leading goalkicker, he didnt do that playing in the ruck.
Think he got a promotion/spot on the senior list replacing the injury prone Luke Mitchell too as a KP Forward not as a ruckman...IMO he has always been more of a KP forward than a ruckman and not the other way around....
