Outlook
Confirmed his status as a club great last year when he won Geelong’s best and fairest in a premiership year for the second time. It was the cream on the cake for this ice-cool defender, who claimed his third premiership medal and won All-Australian selection for the fourth successive year. The stats back up his season: he led the Cats in kicks (330), marks (144) and loose-ball gets (57). Great overhead and his versatility in defence is a bonus.
