Stewart has embraced the role, averaging 24.5 disposals, nine contested possessions and 9.5 marks across the past two weeks.“You might remember about 12 months ago he played a little bit of midfield,” Scott said.“So this is not something where we’re like ‘we need to have a crisis meeting and change the plan’ - this is something that’s been evolving over a long period of time.
