The Bombers are delighted with the youngster’s progress in a key defensive post, with the West Australian placing third in the 2009 NAB AFL Rising Star award and finishing second at the club for rebound 50s. Plays strong, consistent football, makes sound decisions and, as shown in his efforts to run off Brendan Fevola last season, is developing an attacking element to his game.

Draft history: 2007 NAB AFL 2nd round selection (Essendon) No. 23 overall.
