Celebrated his coming of age with premiership success at both ends of the season. The Cats showed faith in the big, strapping forward and he rewarded them with 34 goals in 24 games. Kicked two important goals in the preliminary final against Collingwood and nailed a difficult shot in the final quarter of the Grand Final to kick-start Geelong’s bid to overhaul St Kilda. Took 31 contested marks – second only to Cameron Mooney’s 37 at Geelong – and has so much upside as he enters his fourth season at AFL level.
Could we get him next year if Geelong wants pick two and such?
