Collingwood Forever

Ex-Nightcliff (NT). He was given his first senior chance in 2004 and showed a willingness to run hard out of defence and work hard. He played mostly as a half-back flanker in his debut season, but established himself as a small forward in 2005 with his pace and goal sense. In mid-2006 he seriously damaged his knee when he went down in a heavy tackle against Fremantle and required a reconstruction and wiped out all bar the last two games of 2007. The following year he successfully came back and had some good games among his 20, but was surprisingly traded to Collingwood at season’s end. He played three games in his first year and in 2010 missed more than half the season with a knee injury.
