What sort of player are you?
I play mostly in the midfield but also a bit up forward and down back. I’d like to think I’m an inside player. I try to get a few hardballs and dish it out to the players who can run and carry it and bounce.
Strengths?
Probably my head over the ball and having clean hands under pressure.
Weaknesses?
Fitness. If I want to play in the middle at the top level I’m going to have to work on that.
Which AFL team do you support?
Collingwood.
Which AFL player do you feel you most resemble?
I played as a forward pretty much all through my junior career and modelled myself on Jonathan Brown but I’ve changed roles a bit, so not really him now. When I was at Collingwood (on AIS/AFL Academy duties) it was great being alongside blokes like Scott Pendlebury. He was close to the hardest worker and just does everything at 100 per cent and tries to improve at everything, in every way.
