Ht: 179 cm  Wt: 80 kg
Junior position – midfield
AFL position – midfield
Not a flashy midfielder but he is pretty consistent. Is pretty good on the left foot. Can kick right foot but it is no where near as effective as his left side but in saying that it isn’t bad and it is an advantage he has over a number of other midfielders in this draft. His pace is only average but he does do some good work in close. Can find space and be used as a link man.
Strengths: Â Can use both sides of his body; Good hands in close; Ability to read the play.; Reasonably long kick.
Weaknesses: Not overly quick.; Doesn’t get forward and kick many goals.
Question Marks: Like so many others in this draft, is he just too average overall.
Draft Prediction: Pick 30+. The fact he actually does have some sort of right side is a plus and may move him up above some others in this draft.
Stats: Averaged 21 possessions and kicked 6 goals in 18 regular season games; Named in the best 7 times
