One of the game’s most influential players, the dominant ruckman had the most hit-outs in the competition in 2010 (732) and was enjoying an outstanding year until a toe injury struck in round nine. The tallest player in the AFL was rushed back after a month on the sidelines, but re-injured the toe and missed a further five matches. Has developed a genuine presence around the ground, often taking contested marks. Always poses enormous problems for opposition ruckmen.
