On type he is what we are looking for, in so far as he happily hits packs, jumps into them, snarls around inside them and all that fun stuff that stops opponents from getting nice clean intercept marks and rebounds.

Obviously there is a question on pure quality though. Ticking along at one goal a game isn't hugely inspiring. Is 195cm tall enough these days?

The question is, do we need a tall target who is top-shelf, or do we need one who plays the role that will bring our small forwards and pressure game to full effect?

We'd be able to offer him better career prospects than GWS has, given our needs, and he has shown interest in a return to Victoria in the past.

So the perennial question is; What would it take to get him and would he be worth it?

 

I was keen a few years back after he kicked four goals in a game.  But he doesnt seem to have done much since then in a team that has needed tall forwards.  Is he really an improvement on Weid?

Burst onto the scene and then stalled since. No improvement on Weid IMO. Neither is Corbett. Hopefully there are other tall forward options available, as the ones spoken about thus far are worse than Weid and wouldn't even make our 22!

Did have a 6 game patch mid season where he kicked 11.3 goals but as others have mentioned, has stalled since his impressive 2020.

He's also kicked 26.21 so isn't exactly the dead eye Richard that we're craving.
