I dont think size is the issue to be honest. And I do believe he deserves a crack at 1st grade, after all it is every players dream who laces up a pair of footy boots.
I guess the concern for me is an injury and for me that would be a disaster for the U20's. Interestingly they've lost the last 2 games he hasn't played.
I'm well aware he could pick up an injury in any grade, at any time and a lot of people would assume that could happen, and be more serious in 1st's.
So, for me the U20's need him (and where the real chance of finals footy awaits), 1st grade doesn't.
But I have no problem "giving him a go".
I also remember my old coach telling me many moons ago:
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog".
