Melbourne’s #31 continued to play a key role inside 50 in 2025, finishing the season with 36 goals as one of the side’s most reliable targets. The premiership forward - remembered for his six-goal heroics in the 2021 Grand Final - remains one of the league’s most efficient finishers. Recruited from Casey after a Fothergill-Round Medal-winning 2017 campaign, the 28-year-old will look to build on his 2025 output as he works towards recapturing his very best form in 2026.
