The enigmatic match-winner suffered a slight fall from grace in 2011 when attention turned towards his defensive efforts. At times, particularly mid-season, he was caught in the trap of attempting the spectacular rather than doing the basics well but still kicked 40 goals and averages 2.3 goals a game. Dynamic, a great mark and a solid kick, he has pace, reads the game well and is a fan favourite. Although he needs to improve defensively and win more of his own ball, he is expected to be a beneficiary of Mitch Clark’s recruitment. Had off-season surgery to repair his injured wrist.

Player honours: NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2009.

Brownlow Medal: 2010 votes 2; career votes 2.
