​

AFL Draft Tracker: Powerful key forward with the ability to also play in defence. Possesses excellent leg speed and power, this is evident in his ability to get first hands on the ball in aerial contests by out jumping his opposition. He provides very good defensive pressure and is effective in his disposal by both hand and foot, 7 goals vs East Perth at Colts level his best haul. Played 4 games for WA in this year’s NAB AFL U/18 Championships.​
