In his own words
What type of player are you?
Exciting, fast and skilful, and can play as a small or tall forward. I'm good around goals and can create a lot of pressure in the forward line, and I'm good on both sides of my body.
Which AFL player do you feel you resemble, and why?
Mark LeCras. I can play as a small forward or a marking forward. I’m a good kick for goal and I’m quick off the mark.
What are your strengths as a footballer?
I have good skills and think I’m a good leader on and off the field.
What parts of your game would you like to improve?
My body size and strength.
Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
I’m a Bombers supporter, because as a kid James Hird was and still is my hero.
Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
My mum. She raised eight kids on her own, and she's always been there for me.
