Norm Smith Medallist
Inb4 bulldogs board
He never gets a mention by neutrals but I genuinely think he is one of the best inside mids in the comp.
After Round 6 when Beveridge discovered he should actually be played in the guts and not forward, he has played some absolute MONSTROUS games where he was BOG by a long margin or tied for BOG:
Round 7: 35 touches (15 contested), 8 tackles, 5 clearances, 134 SC points
Round 8: 36 touches (22 contested), 8 tackles, 10 clearances, 136 SC points
Round 10: 41 touches (20 contested), 10 tackles, 6 clearances, 173 SC points
Round 17: 39 touches (24 contested), 15 tackles, 9 clearances, 202 SC points
Round 18: 38 touches (20 contested), 5 tackles, 9 clearances, 127 SC points
Round 21: 39 touches (20 contested), 3 tackles, 6 clearances, 153 SC points
Round 22: 31 touches (13 contested), 10 tackles, 8 clearances, 169 SC points
AND Its not like he was bad in other games either, where he was getting around 26-32 touches, heaps of contested footy and scoring about 100-110 SC points (yes, yes I know SC is not everything, but it has become a somewhat reliable indicator of performances most of the time).
Right now, on form throughout the second half of the year, he has slightly eclipsed the Bont who are both ahead of a pretty stacked midfield (Macrae, Hunter, Mclean, Lipinski, Duryea, Smith who are all in ripping form).
Very good, punishing tackler as well:
