Bio: Developing ruckman who can influence play around the ground. Sounds skills by hand and foot with good vision and awareness. SA U18 representative in 2009 playing four matches for his state. His 3.10secs for 20m was a strong performance for a young tall.
In his own words
What type of player are you?
I am a ruckman that also plays an onballer role as well. I don't limit myself to just ruckwork, but try to win possessions around the ground. I am hard-working and try to draw my teammates into the game.
Which AFL player do you feel you resemble, and why?
I feel I resemble players like Mitch Clark and Matthew Kreuzer, ruckmen who are good in the ruck but are then able to present up around the ground and gain possessions.
What are your strengths as a footballer?
I feel I am good below my knees at picking up and maintaining control over the ball. I also feel I have good hands in taking a mark, and giving a quick handball. I also feel my leadership skills are good.
What parts of your game would you like to improve?
I would like to improve my aggression, particularly in the ruck when jumping against my opponent. I also feel my positioning off the football could also use some work.
Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
I originally barracked for North Melbourne when Wayne Carey played, however I now barrack for Richmond - i like the players they have on their list, and enjoy the way they play.
Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
My parents and brother have been the biggest influence for me. My parents have always followed and supported my football everywhere I've been. My brother I looked up to and aspired to play like him.

Probably because we intend to play Clarke as a forward more.
Lyon loves his talls being above 197-199cm+. St Kilda had Kosi, Gardiner, King, Stanley, McEvoy (and a few more I'm probably forgetting) all on the list at one stage. We have Sandi, Griffin, Clarke, Kepler, Hannath, and Moller.
He likes his talls to be tall, his inside mids to be 190cm height and hard at it, and his smalls to have a tonne of pace.
Because he says he plays like Mitch Clarke and Bondy is still upset he missed out last year.
My thoughts exactly, I think he'll request a trade at the end of 2013 unless he somehow plays 20+ games.

very happy with this selection. Looks like a natural footballer too (please tell me this is so) and not another basketball convert that has to be taught where to run. Hope he becomes our Mitch Clarke except we have him his whole career, don't have to pay overs, and he's not a knob.

Have to agree I'm afraid. We now have five ruckmen in our side. Moller will be developing for a while obviously, but there are now three ruckmen competing for one spot.
As for a Kep replacement... maybe. But Kep is a forward before he's a ruck. None of the other fellas are.
Hannath sounds like an alternative/insurance against Zac leaving to me.

Sandi is a year or two from retiring.
Moller wont be playing afl for 2-3 years.
He fills that void we will have in between.
