Outlook
Returned to his best in 2011 after a wretched run with a knee problem the previous season. Slotted straight back into the midfield and in various defensive roles and finished second in the best and fairest while claiming his third premiership medal. Led the Cats in handballs (262) and his experience in the Grand Final was important after returning from a groin injury late in the season.
