He has a defensive mindset as shown by his two efforts on the weekend, one out against kpf, he is willing to run hard and kicks ok.
My major knock on him is that he has been overzealous in the past and given away frees for crude tackles.
In a team which some ? decry the lack of a defensive small backman he’s worthy of a game, not 100% he’ll make it but he’s got some good tools.
Austin plucked him from the VFL Dogs team as some poor mans Caleb Daniel imo but I havent really seen anything that convinces me he is senior standard. I couldnt work out who he was on at times vs GC but I did see him spend some time on Ainsworth who was one of GC's best players so I found it strange for a bloke who got 11 possies only himself received so much love for his game. The baby Hawks have a couple of decent small forwards in Bruest and Moore so I'll be interested to see how he goes especially if the coaching staff trust him with Bruest.
