Comment: An extremely consistent performer for the Tigers throughout the first decade of the 2000s. Was skilful, durable, versatile and possessed a clever football brain. Had the capacity to rack up big disposal numbers, and he used the ball proficiently on his trusty left boot. Back-to-back Jack Dyer Medals in 2004-05 underlined his high level of performance within the line-up.
