Similar role early but a lot more Adams/Jordon/Rowbottom/Sheldrick playing midfield and a lot more rotations in general going on.. He started in there though. It was a very hot game as well and both sides used the full 26 players throughout.
He's capable of those types of scores for sure and probably dishes up a couple but I'd read much more in to the game in the real stuff than the practice game. I'd be pretty shocked if he averages 135 but I'd probably be equally shocked if he averaged 70 without it being a couple of games and an injury type scenario. I think he's a solid 110 prospect, which leaves probably a 15 point range to miss and still win as a pick. He's always scored very well in SC, getting more tackles, more marking mismatches (mids as opposed to star defenders) and just more touches in general can't hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if like the Petracca, Bont, Danger and Martin types, he kicks just as many goals playing midfield as he did forward. It's often easier to push forward on badly mismatched midfielders than to operate as the centrepiece of the forwardline getting the Grimes, Weitering and Starcevich type elite defenders every week with a gameplan to stop you doing what you do best. You also can get lost when you do switch forward on the hando*** to those players and get weaker defenders as well.
