He showed how far he had come when he had 32 touches against Melbourne in round two. That set for the tone for the start of the season. He was firing early and his precise left-foot kicking made him a walk-up start for each game. He ended the season as a key member of the side, averaging 21.3 possessions a game for the year, as well as six marks. His elite kicking skills off half-back make him the first line of attack for the Hawks.

Draft history:
2007 Rookie Draft selection (Hawthorn) No. 22; 2009 Rookie Draft selection (Hawthorn) No. 79; 2009 NAB AFL Draft rookie elevation (Hawthorn) selection No. 70.
