This is my concern. He has lost pace at top speed, he has lost quick acceleration. He was never a very good key forward anyway - what made him special was that he was too big for most midfielders, too athletic for most ruck man and too quick for kpp. Fletcher went past him like he was Lockett on Friday night.
For him to contribute he has got to play on the ball a bit. Out of the goal square he looks lost, applies no defensive pressure, spends his time pointing and hoping everyone else covers his man.
He is getting a game on reputation at the moment.
