A move to the wing after the round three loss to Collingwood last year proved a masterstroke, with the star veteran averaging 18 touches, finishing equal third in the Brownlow Medal, taking the most home and away marks in the AFL (222) and still topping the club’s goalkicking with 48. Will look to continue his free-wheeling role, despite turning 34 in March.
