Port Adelaide has flagged the possibility of throwing forward recruit Jack Watts into the midfield this year.
“He’s a ball user so we want to get him where the ball is,” assistant coach Matthew Nicks said on Wednesday.
“There will be different spots we look at, we definitely haven’t locked him in as a forward.
“Nowadays, there are different roles within your team that aren’t necessary classed forward or mid.
“We’d love to have his ball use through the middle of the ground at times, so it’s something we’ll look at.”
