Who did you play your junior football with?
I played with Tea Tree Gully from Under 8’s to Under 15’s.
What level did you play at Norwood
I played with the Under 17’s at Norwood last year and was lucky enough to play the last three games in the league team.
What was the experience of playing league football in the SANFL like?
It was very hard, but good. I enjoyed the experience. The bodies were much bigger and stronger and the pace was quicker than that in the Under 17’s. Although I only played three games, I learnt a fair bit during those games.
Who was your childhood hero?
Tony Lockett and Wayne Carey
When were you first contacted by the club, who contacted you, and what was said?
I spoke to James Fantasia at the Draft Camp, but it was only very quickly. Not too much was said about the Club drafting me so I didn’t listen to the Draft, but I was very excited when I heard I had been drafted by Adelaide and to be able to stay in Adelaide and not move interstate.
What has been the best part of pre-season training so far?
I really enjoy the weight training.
What has been the worst part?
Coming last in the runs.
How big a step up has the training regime been from what you have previously been used to?
It is a huge difference. We would do more in one session here than we sometimes did in a week at Norwood. It took some getting used to – all the training – but I am enjoying the experience.
The most “interesting” teammate you’ve met so far?
Rowan Andrews
Goals for 2005?
I am aiming to play a full year with the league team at Norwood and play consistently. My fitness is an area that I need to work on so I would like to improve in this area.
Outside of training hours, what have you been doing in your spare time?
I try to catch up with my mates who have their own jobs or spend time with my family.
