Attacking midfielder who was among the top five at the club in kicks and marks in 2010. Was in good touch when he tore a hamstring in round 21 and was sorely missed in the losing elimination final against Fremantle at the spacious Subiaco. His run and carry is critical to the Hawks’ defensive set-up.
