In his own words
What type of player are you?

I am a utility. I can play up front or down back and run through the middle. I do my job whatever it is. I am fast and have good kicking skills.

Which AFL player do you feel you resemble, and why?
Aaron Davey because he is smart with the ball, takes the game on and uses the ball well and efficiently.

What are your strengths as a footballer?
My strengths include speed - either chasing down opponents or with the ball. Composure - don't panic under pressure. Kicking - putting the ball to advantage of my teammates.

What parts of your game would you like to improve?
Attitude is a big part of my game I need to improve. My defensive game such as tackling, accountability and strength, like contested balls and marking.

Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
Western Bulldogs because of the way they play the game - tough and with speed. Also my favourite player Lindsay Gilbee plays for them.

Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
My parents, girlfriend and South Adelaide. Always giving me encouragement and criticism. Whether I have a good or bad game they are always there to show me the way.
