Summary - This is all about the DPP. While he is unlikely to ever cut it as a midfield premium option, if he's given M/D then he suddenly becomes the second ranked defender based on averages. A proven ball winner, can kick goals, has a good kick/handball ratio and doesn't get the same opposition attention as the likes of Cotch and Lids. Now we just need Champion Data to come to the party...

I would have said he's been playing back flank...ish.

I'm mainly basing my hope on this -

I know it's just one person's opinion but I agree with almost all the predictions he makes in the article.

Would definately grad him if he has DPP but no way as a mid. But I reckon it's pretty unlikely he'll get it.

roti · September 09, 2012, 04:07:17 PM

played on a wing all year boys, no chance i would say for dpp

Adamant · September 09, 2012, 04:16:22 PM

Lock if DPP, but I think he'll be a pure MID unfortunately...

Ricochet · September 09, 2012, 04:26:33 PM

yeh i heard that too but don't think he's played enough in the backline tbh

Toga · September 09, 2012, 06:26:18 PM

played predominantly off the wing this year and occasionally off of half back as has been said. i'd rate him a very slight chance to get DPP but its doubtful

QuoteShaun Hampson (RF) somehow finds the motivation to get out of bed (I wouldnâ€™t!), and play both as a forward target and in the ruck.

Haha bloody oath

Lock in my team if DPP.

Pretty much, I'm not sure he will get it though.

Justin Bieber · September 19, 2012, 09:18:41 PM

I don't mind him, but when he gets a harder tag, he struggles.

Will never be tagged with the likes cotchin, lids and Martin. Maybe when tuck retires could pick up more responsibility and be a good choice? Another season maybe

Yeah, should be better when Tuck retires, but reckon he has 2-3 years left...
