In his own words
What type of player are you?
I'm a versatile player and I believe I can play in a variety of positions. A player that works hard and is competitive who loves to link up and provide the forward with a great kick or kick the goal.

Which AFL player do you feel you resemble, and why?
Andrew Embley - ability to play from half-back to half-forward and believe his run and link are a lot like mine. He works hard at both ends of the ground and has great finishing touch. I believe I have those attributes.

What are your strengths as a footballer?
Skills, football knowledge, decision making, leadership, kicking on goal.

What parts of your game would you like to improve?
Tackling, defensive pressure, focusing for four quarters.

Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
Essendon / Collingwood. I came around barracking for Essendon because I was a big fan of James Hird and for Collingwood because I just love the way they play - it's so exciting to watch. I reckon the Bombers are playing like that now too so it's good.

Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
Mum and Dad. Mum because she has brought me up and did so much for me and was supportive so it's great to be giving her back what she has put into me. Dad because I have heard he had so much talent and just got caught up in the wrong crowd so I want to show him I can make it the whole way.
