Has led the ruck since arriving at the club two seasons ago, often competing against much bigger bodies. Thrives on the contest and his second and third efforts are superb. Outstanding in the final against the Brisbane Lions last season and is a future star. Strong in the air, skilful, agile and reads the play well. Has shown an ability to go forward with effect and is set to be used more in that role.
