This inside midfield got his chance to shine in the last few weeks of this season and did a fairly decent job of it. He picked up possessions at 17, 16, 16, 17, 10, 10. Is an inside midfielder so won't get many marks although can tackle when needed (highlighted by his 10 tackles in only his second game). Highest score was a solid 82 (in the same game) followed 2 games later with a 70. The rest of his scores from the 4 games were shared in the 50's and 30's with 2 in each.

He's not the biggest guy out there and is still in the early days in his career. I would expect Voss to continue using him as he did show some good signs late last year when selected to play. With Sherman, Richetelli and Brennan gone, could cement a spot in the line up despite the drafting of Polec and Green this off season.

The Crystal Ball:
Based on m0nty's fanplanner
Price: $188,000
Position: Midfield

Very awkward price for a midfielder with a great bunch of rookies to choose from next season. Although, could be a decent cash cow and already has AFL experience and showed something.

Decision:
I'm sure he's got alot of upside, but could save 100k and just get a 84k rookie. Should see gametime in a new look Lion's midfield next season but at this stage, unlikely.

Good player and as you said HP, plenty of upside, but too risky for me.
