In his own words
What type of player are you?
I want to get the best out of myself. My workrate is a strength. I'm a versatile player who loves a contest generally playing off half-back or the middle. My endurance, run and carry and link play are my special attributes. Use my voice well for instructional play. I have a "never-say-die" attitude. 

Which AFL player do you feel you resemble, and why?
Lindsay Gilbee - he is a role model to me. We play similar roles and positions, we both run and carry. He has exceptional skills which I try to imitate.

What are your strengths as a footballer?
My endurance, willingness to win the contest, work ethic, getting the best out of myself, instructional voice, continually wanting to improve, run and carry and am a team player.

What parts of your game would you like to improve?
Worked hard on my kicking but need more. Ball drop and small technical areas need to continually monitor. Run myself into trouble at times, need to slow down and stay composed.

Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
Western Bulldogs - cousin gave me a jumper with their colours when I was very young and have stuck with them ever since.

Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
Family and friends because they dedicate their time to what I love. They believe in me and are great support.
