You very well could be right jeemak.
I've seen him play bits and pieces in the forward half, such as the first half on Goddard in the 2010 PF. I think he kicked two to half time, was later shifted to another player (Hayes?) and Goddard subsequently ran riot in the third. I recall him kicking a few goals on Deledio too, although this was probably more of a 'drifting forward' than actually lining up there.
In any case he is very good overhead, a decent shot for goal and can apply good defensive pressure. Perhaps an upgrade on Addison in the same role.
If he can't add value there, though, it's very difficult to find a spot for him. It doesn't help we've recruited the likes of Smith, Stevens and Lower in the last two years.
