Petrie's part of the next wave of gun forwards. I like Croad on a wing.
I doubt he'd move Woods/McPharlin/Polak off the half back line and wouldn't be reliable too close to goal. He has pace and will back himself when he gets the ball, plus he likes to play physical so running into the square to pick off the opposition's gun midfielders is his go at the moment. not doing much up fwd.

That and the fact that he wanted way too much money.
