Hey, uh, wh-wh-where's Nas' best position is gonna be a talking point this year. I know you touched on it, uh, on first crack, but do we want him, him winning 31 disposals in the back half of the ground? Luke Beveridge was interesting on Nas last night in his post-match press conference.

Now, we saw him during the preseason, um, out of full forward, essentially, and I know it's a different level in preseason, but what, what's his best position, Kingy? I'm, I'm just not sure, as good as he is across halfback, that it's taking kick-outs and, and getting 31 disposals in the back half and your team losing by 22 points.
