What a star of the game he is. With 71 goals last year (82 after finals) he claimed his second Coleman Medal and his this third All-Australian selection. Perhaps not quite as spectacular as in past seasons, but has developed into a more rounded player, capable of short, but damaging bursts through the midfield, where he is impossible to match up. His contested marking also improved considerably, which suggests he is only now reaching his prime, a scary thought for the game's big defenders.

Draft history: 2004 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (Hawthorn) No. 5 overall.
