The 28 year old, could very well thrive at freo. I am surprised i havent heard from anyone their thoughts on him!

How is he travelling and is he worth having at F4??

Cheers guys

He has been building up his fitness, and has had a pretty much uninterrupted preseason.

He has only recently joined full training, I am considering him at the moment but he will need a big NAB cup plus get named on the field round 1\2 to make my side.

i can easily see him as a top 6 forward at the end of the year if he can stay fit

Like to see what his role is in the Freo team first.

Would like to see him play in the midfield predominately...

Jroo

I'm certainly considering him. Ross the Boss should be able to lift him to the next level  ;)

Agree would love to see him play both NAB challenge games with some time in the midfield!! If he gets a decent run through there and does well he will find his way into my team easily

Also considering Sylvia looking forward to seeing play NAB, but looks Good so far  :)

He does look good and say he has a solid (not an incredible but solid) NAB campaign with some midfield time
Is he worth having over the likes of Buddy, Chappy, roughy, zorko etc.?

Ive got him locked, have had him since he moved to Freo. If any coach can get him to reach his potential on a consistent basis it's Ross Lyon. Has burnt me in the past but I am a fan of him, his best is superlative. Being part of a much stronger midfield he will not get as much opposition attention and will go 90+. Locked.

So much upside and if he goes well in the NAB chappy or roughy will have to make way just not sure who

this might help you with a choice

TL:DR - Chappy will be happy to play 16 games this season, with him potentially sitting out odd weeks for rest

Reason why I don't have him is I can't justify him over Buddy & Pav  :-\

He'll be on my watchlist all season though and is definitely a candidate for my second forward upgrade (of course Wingard will be my first)

I was at the intra club tonight and I think he'll be lucky to get a game early let alone a top 6 forward, he is a very long way off the pace.

That's what a career with the Demon's will do to you  ;) Remember Cale Morton moving to the Eagles, he went from the fittest in Melbourne FC to not having the ability to even keep up with his new team mates, I think the same happened with Stefan Martin as well.

However I'm expected Roos to turn that whole team around  :D

Yeh struggled in the intraclub but has been on a modified program. I would stay away for now
