Very very realistic chance age won't be an issue at Richmond as i belive he could fit straight into their side round 1 next year.
IMHO at AFL level would be a forward pocket with very small stints on the ball but if he played all year i think you could 30 goals out of the pocket from him.

If he could only get limited on-ball time then I question his speed to be an effective full-time small forward

I don't think an AFL club would draft him solely to be a small forward IMO - if he can't justify decent amounts on on-ball time then they would prob pass on him

My thoughts also, but until I heard it from a supporter of another club, I thought it was wishful thinking!

Would be great to see him get a shot, but hope to see him run around for the dogs again next season.

Agreed he is a very good player and it would be great to see him get picked up

It was only the "playing solely as a small forward" thing I was questioning

He looks to me like he could fit in to an AFL team
