I’ve been calling for this since his great pre-season game forward against Brisbane in 2019.

It’s time.

Couldn't be worse than the current "plan" ...  though in fairness he hasn't exactly been ready to report for duty much since then.

Defenders very rarely let a forward have room to run at a ball and leap.  You need the forward craft of fritsch or reiwoldt to do that.  The other type has to have the build to use their bulk.   He is certainly a lot stronger than 2018 when he last played forward.  Maybe he can learn to use his speed to get space to jump.  Worth a try.  He'll certainly give forward pressure.

We have been crying out for a 3rd target since Tmac went down, won't hold my breath but it could work.

Teams are taking too many uncontested marks inside forward 50. He could at least provide a contest and bring a better percentage to ground whilst taking the odd grab.

He's had one game in around 16 weeks and that was against the near bottom VFL side. In that game he got a few touches in the last third none of which were meaningful.

Add to that he's never played forward in an AFL match.

We're desperate but not that desperate yet
