In his own words
What type of player are you?
I am a tall marking forward with a long left foot kick with a strong mark.
Which AFL player do you feel you resemble, and why?
Jack Riewoldt - because he’s a great mark and has flashy games. Like me, he has to work on strength, and developing an opposite foot.
What are your strengths as a footballer?
Strengths as a footballer are a good strong marker, accurate shot for goal, able to hit up targets on the run.
What parts of your game would you like to improve?
Parts I can improve are work rate, strength, able to kick both sides of my body, voice.
Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
Essendon - mum and dad decided the first born child would follow Mum and barrack for Essendon and the second born would follow dad and barrack for Collingwood.
Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
My dad - he played football all his life and encouraged me to play it. He always tries to help with knowledge and has been there no matter what I have done.
