About

Was enjoying a super 2005 until he injured his foot in round 15 and missed the rest of the year. Fifth in the best and fairest despite missing eight games and was voted best clubman. An old-style footballer who wins plenty of possessions in traffic, and is especially damaging at centre bounces and other stoppages around the ground. Named vice-captain last December and has vowed to set an example for the club's new players on and off the field.
