I'm not sure about Slaws' ability as a utility.

Some players thrive by learning and developing different skills by being thrown from one position to another. Some don't. They need time to be left as a back, ruck, follower or forward for them to develop. I think that Kepler Slaws is one of the latter type.

Slaws was never allowed to settle into a position at Essendon and he didn't progress at the rate the match committee expected/wanted.
