Has emerged in the past couple of seasons as one of Richmond’s
most important defenders. His courage and attack on the ball in
defence sets a great example for his teammates and he looks set
to hold down a crucial role as the club attempts to move up the
ladder. Played every game in 2012 and led the Tigers for rebounds
from defensive 50 (86) and marks (136). Was also in the top-10
for kicks and handballs.
