Had a terrific season in 2011 and the mid-sized defender was nominated for All-Australian selection. He topped the Hawks for marks, averaging 7.2 a game and his hard running and superb kicking out of the backline made him a key weapon in a side that placed a premium on patient and precise disposal.

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