Outlook
It was a tough season for the smart on-baller who was given time off in the first half of the year to deal with personal issues. Returned to the VFL line-up and broke through to play one game at AFL level, but was squeezed out as Geelong’s finals preparation stepped up. Has been in the system a few years and will be looking for more opportunities in the midfield.
