One of the most exciting players in the game and has become a ruck force at centre bounces. His capacity to spring over opponents in the ruck is exhilarating to watch, but he has also developed a unique ability to follow up his tap work and win clearances. Has formed a formidable ruck partnership with Dean Cox and has an impact when resting forward.    

Player honours: NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2010.

Draft history: 2008 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (West Coast) No. 2 overall.
