Melbourne’s emerging young leader put together another strong campaign in 2025, playing 22 games and adding 10 goals as he moved beyond the 100-game milestone against Essendon. The rugged 183cm midfielder moved forward in 2025 and continued to showcase his trademark physicality and burst from the contest. Having steadied his output after a quieter 2024, the 25-year-old will look to build on his 2025 consistency and further elevate his influence in 2026, continuing to set the standard for the club’s next generation.
