The No. 1 (priority) selection at the 2007 NAB AFL Draft made an excellent start to his career. Missed the first two games with a hip complaint, then played every match. Spent a lot of time in the ruck and looked dangerous when pushed forward. Strong in the air, skilful, agile and reads the play well. Is expected to play an important role in the forward line in 2009.
