In his own words
What type of player are you?
I would say a running midfielder, but have been played in a number of positions this year, both back and forward.

Which AFL player do you feel you resemble, and why?
Jobe Watson from Essendon because like him I get a lot of the footy and I pride myself on my disposal, don't kick many goals but still have an influence in the outcome of the game.

What are your strengths as a footballer?
My decision making and skills are my strongest points. I have huge expectations of myself and so these parts of my game I try to be the best at.

What parts of your game would you like to improve?
My work rate is something that I would like to see improve, and I don't kick a lot of goals so kicking a goal or two each game is something that could help my game.

Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
Essendon. I grew up supporting them because mum and dad both followed them.

Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
My dad and my brother. My dad because he has been there for me throughout my career and my brother because he was in the same position I am now and he has mentored me a lot this year.
