The Tasmanian enjoyed possibly the best of his four AFL seasons last year, giving the Bombers an injection of hardness around the football and applying good defensive pressure. Can play forward in lead-up roles if required, and is prepared to sacrifice his game in any given assignment for the benefit of the team.
