Outlook
Giant ruckman who is taking a while to develop, but the Cats believe he will make the grade. Played two games in 2010 and made just one appearance last season, his fourth on the Cats’ list. Had 22 hit-outs in his lone game against Adelaide in round 14 last year and his VFL form was solid. With Mark Blake and Brad Ottens retired, this is his big chance.
