Reclaimed elite midfield status after an injury-plagued 2024.

He played all 23 games, finished third in the Jack Dyer Medal and led the club for total disposals (607), clearances (130) and contested possessions (266).

He was Richmond’s main inside bull alongside Tim Taranto and showed brilliant leadership to an emerging midfield.

At 28 and contracted until 2029, he will be a key piece as the Tigers continue to take giant strides forward.

Brownlow Medal: 2025 votes 5; career votes 26.

Previous AFL club: GWS Giants (2016-22: 114 games, 42 goals).
