Reclaimed his status as the game's best big man in 2011 and rediscovered his best form after two seasons ruined by injury. Ranked third in the AFL for hit-outs (716), including finals. Has formed an unrivalled ruck partnership with Nic Naitanui and his ability to cover the ground, floating back to help the defence or forward to kick goals, is of great value.
