In his own words
What type of player are you?

I am a half back flanker, with a long kick, speed and agility. I’m a player who likes to read the play and set up attacks from the backline.

Which AFL player do you resemble, and why?
Lindsay Gilbee - because we play the same position and kicks the ball long with great accuracy.

What are your strengths as a footballer?
I think my strengths as a footballer are my kicking skills, hitting up short and long targets, and my ability to break the lines.

What parts of your game would you like to improve?
The area of my game which I can improve on is getting my arms free when tackled, so I can get a handball away.

Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
The AFL team that I support is St Kilda. I came to barrack for them growing up with a mad St Kilda supporting family - it was my only choice.

Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
The biggest influence in my career so far is my parents. They are at every game and provide me with honest feedback, support and have given me the opportunities to pursue my dreams.
