2011 was… a really consistent year. He continually plays his role week in week out without too much fuss. I thought for him, his first year of senior footy playing at centre-half-forward was really positive.
His pre-season has been… better than last year when he had a really short pre-season. This year he has pretty much done everything so it’s been a ripping pre-season for him. He’s made massive strength gains – upper body and lower body – his fitness has improved and he improved across the board significantly so he had a good pre-season.
In 2012 we want to see… we’re not putting too many expectations on him, just a natural improvement. You will start to see improvement naturally because of the strength gains he’s made in the gym and some fitness gains as well he should be able to cover the ground a bit better. Still, we’re just looking for him to play his role. Player honours: NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2011. Draft history: 2009 NAB AFL Draft 3rd round selection (Sydney) No. 38 overall.
