What type of player are you?
I am an inside player that gets in and under but also an outside player that receives and runs and carries and breaks the lines. I'm also pretty quick for my size, use the ball well and love the contested ball.

Which AFL player do you feel you resemble and why?
Brent Harvey. He's exactly the same size as me, just finds space and his decision making is second to none. He is also a little tough nut who likes the hard ball.

What are your strengths as a footballer?
Decision making, leadership, speed, skills, preparation.

What parts of your game would you like to improve?
My endurance, but I have been working on it through the year with extra sessions.

Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
Richmond. I went to my first game when I was three years old and before the game I liked the mascot running around and ever since I have supported Richmond.

Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far and why?
Mum and Dad, because they have supported me all the way through my football career and they're always honest with me with what I have done well and what I have to do to improve after every game.
