After a mixed first half of 2009, the No. 1 draft pick steeled himself to become more accountable as a genuine midfielder, with the club loath to offer the option of a release to defence or attack. The result was a superb finish to the season and his second straight best and fairest award. Topped the Tigers for loose-ball gets (69) and inside 50s (99) and, having signed on until the end of 2012, is a huge part of the club’s future. Player honours: best and fairest 2008, 2009; NAB AFL Rising Star Medal 2005; International Rules Series 2005. Brownlow Medal: 2009 votes 5; career votes 20. Draft history: 2004 NAB AFL Draft priority selection (Richmond) No. 1 overall.
