He played mostly in defence but also appeared in the forward line, where he had trained all off season, to good effect.

His best game of the year was possibly the Elimination Final against Carlton, in which he kicked 3 goals as a dangerous small forward.

He was dropped along with Jesse White the next week however as Ben McGlynn and Daniel Bradshaw were brought back from injury.
