Outlook

Talented midfielder who was the Cats’ first pick in the 2010 NAB AFL Draft (he was taken with a selection gained after losing Gary Ablett). The Warrnambool youngster was sidelined for his first year by a hip injury, but after a big pre-season he made his debut against Fremantle in round one and played 14 games in all. Started in the backline before finding a niche as a defensive forward. Big things are expected from him in the future.
