FOOTBALL IN GENERAL
What club did you support growing up?
Adelaide, because I come from there and I used to go to their games every week, and I even came over to Melbourne a couple of times to watch games.

Using one word, how would you describe the life of an AFL footballer?
Relentless.

What is your favourite team to play against and why?
Any of the Adelaide teams, because all my friends support them and getting to go back to Adelaide and play at AAMI Stadium is always fun.
 
Is the game becoming too fast?
The game is getting faster, but I don't think it has got to a stage where it's too fast.
 
What is your favourite football memory?
Probably when Tony Modra kicked his 100th goal against Fitzroy in Melbourne.

What would you call the new Gold Coast and West Sydney team if you had naming power?
Gold Coast Sharks and West Sydney … I just think of the West Sydney Tigers because of rugby league, so we'll go with that. They're pretty basic – I'm not too outrageous with names.

If you could be any other player, who would you be?

When I was growing up, I used to like taking hangers and that sort of stuff, so I wouldn't mind being Tony Modra.

THE TEAM
Who is the most annoying player to room with when you go interstate, and why?
I've roomed with a couple of guys but right now I room with Nathan Eagleton, and he's not too bad. He's not too outrageous, he's pretty quiet. That's probably why I haven't changed because he doesn't snore of have bad gas or anything like that. He's good.

What's the funniest prank any of your teammates have played on you?
It wasn't on me, but an old senior player who I won't name who's not at the club anymore and retired last year had a few jokes played on him, so he got some superglue and stuck a guy's thongs to his locker. That was pretty funny.

Who considers himself the most fashionable at the club?
There could be a few because there's a lot of young guys at our club who take pride in their appearance, but I'll say Ryan Griffen. He wears weird jackets and that sort of stuff.
 
Who would be the most un-fashionable?
Probably myself. I like to wear trackies and thongs all the time. I'm not too fussed on how I look.
 
Who's got the best singing voice?
Probably Robert Murphy. I've heard him sing karaoke before and he wasn't too bad.

What's an amusing fact about one of your teammates that not many people know?
Nathan Eagleton is bald … he's been bald for awhile. That's probably all I've got. Hang on, Will Minson has a bad bottom. He has a real bad gas problem. He really lets them rip at training and in meetings. He just sits there and giggles.

If you had to pick one of your teammates to take on a date, who would it be?
Tom Williams, because he's a very nice guy. He's not a mean guy, he's just nice … a real gentleman.

What's the funniest Rocket moment you can think of?
Against Sydney a couple of years ago, I got three blasts at halftime and he got into me after the match at the press conference, saying I didn't rock up. Then there was a photo of me in the paper the next day saying I did rock up. In hindsight, it is funny, but at the time, not so funny.
 
AT HOME
Who do you live with?
My partner Shannon and two kids Bailey and Cohen, Bailey is seven and Cohen is six months.
 
Who does the cooking?
Shannon does most of the cooking.
 
How are you in the kitchen?
Competent. I can do the basics. I can get a roast going because we have a rotisserie.

If you were having Rodney Eade around for dinner, what would you cook?
Probably my favourite meal – my mum's specialty of chicken in Coca Cola that she cooks. The coke is mixed with French onion soup and it turns into a thicker sauce and then roasted. 

Who does the housework at your place?
My partner – I try to help as much as I can, but she does 95 per cent of it.
 
What's your most used appliance and why?
Probably the TV, because it keeps the kids quiet.
 
Do you have any pets?
We have a dog, a Labrador called Koda.
 
What is your most annoying habit?
If I've got coins laying around the house or in the car, I always have to have their heads facing up. I can't have tails up. I don't know if that's obsessive compulsive – I don't know what it is. If I see a coin, I flip it over. It's weird.
 
RANDOM QUESTIONS
Are you generally a cat or dog person?
Dog person.

If you were stuck on a desert island, what three things would you want with you?
My family, food, and a book called "How to survive on a desert island".

What's your ideal holiday spot?
As a get together for the boys, Las Vegas, but for the family, an island somewhere like Vanuatu or Bali.
 
What's your idea of a perfect day?
It would have to be hot with no wind, down by the beach with my family having a quiet drink with my partner and the kids playing down on the sand.
 
What action hero would you most like to be, and why?
I would be Superman. Nothing can kill Superman. Only kryptonite can get him.
 
What sort of car do you drive?
A Holden VY Commodore, but I'm going to get rid of that soon and get a 4WD with seven seats.
 
What's the most embarrassing song on your I-Pod?
I don't have an I-Pod. The only time I listen to music is in the car, and I usually listen to SEN on the radio. I don't really have an embarrassing song, but I do have my partner's CDs in my car.
