Rebounded from a two-week spell in the VFL to become one of Hawthorn’s most consistent and reliable defenders. Enjoyed not having to stand the No. 1 or No. 2 forwards from the opposition and offered the Hawks great flexibility because of his ability to play tall or short depending on circumstance. Finished fourth in marks taken, while his value off the field was underlined when he was named best clubman.

Draft history: 2004 NAB AFL Draft 2nd round selection (Hawthorn) No. 21 overall.
