Keep in mind that players are bigger across the board now. Ruckmen Green, Crowe and Patterson from Hart's debut year were only 193cm. A generation before that, Jack Dyer was just 185cm.

no!
giving him a permanent forward role would be giving up and saying "the tags are too hard in the middle"
he has been beaten by the likes of ling etc which is nothing to be embarrassed about, once we get some more depth in the centre he will start getting less attention and doing his best damage which is running with the footy instead of getting smashed in packs playing up forward

No swapping midfield for goal square there is no guy that could get Lids on a lead with Lids & Brown rotating forward & midfield along with Tambling would be very hard to match up on.
so the general concensus is as a rotational player thru the midfield resting in the forwardline.
An interesting comparison to Hart there Disco. I think Lids plays tall just like Hart did too. Lids isnt that big of a guy but he is a physical freak of nature so who knows how he's gonna look in 3-4 years. Is so dangerous all over the ground.
I agree with most on here re: his position.

Lids is a genuine utility, can play back forward or mid, but not as a KPP.
Hirdy spent a lot of time as a key forward and managed to scrape his way to about 250 games while Arch, Roo, Bucks, Banger etc got plenty more games under the belt.
The last thing we want to do is put a medium size into a position that often crushes the big power players.

If TW plays him all over the ground and changes it every week, then it makes it tough for opposition coaches to plan. They have to have plans for key fwd, hbf, mid field, starts on the bench, hff, etc.
IMO we should use his versatility to good effect and be totally unpredicatable.
