“He’s everyone’s favourite, isn’t he!
“Got a lot of personality. To sum him up, he came into the Club in his first week and he was putting on his music in the change-rooms, which is usually left to a veteran to do. But he was comfortable in doing it, and we let him go.
“He’s just such a bubbly personality to have around the Club and I love the way he plays his footy, as everyone does.
“That hit on Jack Viney, I could hear it from the coaches’ box.
“He’s a good mark, great kick. I think as time goes on he’ll build his tank and be able to bash and crash through the midfield.
“He can play really anywhere. He’s got the silky skills forward, but now, off the half-back line, running straight lines, he’s pretty good to watch.”
