Injury problems – to himself and fellow defenders – made 2009 a difficult season for the attacking left-footer. Started the year virtually where he left off in 2008 and finished strongly, but was hampered by a thumb injury and lingering hamstring problems that inevitably affected his form mid-year. Still averaged 21.4 disposals in 19 games and was equal first at Hawthorn for rebound 50s (65) and sixth for disposals (406).

Draft history: 2005 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (Hawthorn) No. 14 overall.
