He’ll never become a consistent match winner as a forward

The great power players
Bont, Dusty, Fyfe, Danger, Petracca, DeGoey
All graduated from being dangerous HFs to superstar mids

It’s what Heeney and Raynor haven’t done. Heeney finally played as a full time mid Sat and was BOG
He’s been a tease across HF
Sometimes you have list managers and coaches who recruit B Grade ready made mids (and injured forner A graders like Hannas) instead of allowing a young player to grow with his young team mates.

Sometimes injury to so called 'first option' midfielders provides players an opportunity to thrive in a position that suits their style of play...but that's not what happened under Cho.

We preferred Weller and Newnes and we thought Billings could become a midfielder. We brought in Dan Hannebery, Koby Stevens, Zac Jones and Brad Hill, instead of blooding Blake as a wingman.

You can't deprive young players from minutes and continuity in the seniors and expect them to be superstars after getting promoted from the VFL.

No one thinks Mich is the equivalent of a Dusty or Dangerfield but what you fail to acknowledge again and again (see the Phillipou thread) is that Dangerfield and others weren't stars in their first 40-50 games of footy
