Strengths
Weaknesses
Overall
Ainsworth is a highly talented small forward, with impressive aerial ability and sense for goal. The Gippsland Power captain can also push into the midfield at times, as he showed with his final month of the TAC Cup season, averaging 29 disposals and kicking 12 goals.
He will no doubt begin his AFL career as a forward, however, if he can build his engine and improve his endurance, he can also become a valuable midfield prospect for AFL clubs.
He also has electric speed off the mark when leading and great athletic ability.
