Re: Mitch Robinson --> Adrian Hickmott mark II!

So i've long been a critic of Robbo and his inability to find a teammate with the ball. Despite his best Miley Cyrus impersonations, a lot of his hard work is for nothing and can be counter productive.
I've recently noticed that he could be a very important player for us if we made a move.
Play him as a marking Half forward, ala Adrian Hickmott.
For those who cannot recall, Hickmott, was a medium sized player with a large sized heart and scrotum.
He was a team player that never died wondering and did the 1%ers.
He was a terrific mark for his size.
He was a decent shot at goal.
He loved a scuffle.
He was a very important player for the Blues despite him not being blessed with the skills/speed/endurance of the modern day footballer.
He was also a ranger with short hair.
Now mitch has been predominantly used as a midfielder who drifts forward, or can sometimes be played as a defensive forward.
I reckon we should use him as a more permanent forward. He will provide us with the defensive pressure we require up forward. He will no longer hurt us with his rainmakers. He will impact the scoreboard.
What do you reckon?
I reckon thats a great idea.
