Brownlow Votes: -

Often had to curb his natural attacking instincts in 2012 to perform run-with roles. As such, his disposal average dropped, but his importance to the team became greater. His scalps included Brent Harvey, Danyle Pearce, Ryan Griffen, Kade Simpson, Brent Stanton, Heath Shaw and Andrew Gaff. Is emerging as a young leader and should be a key part of the midfield long term.
