Family definitely got me to the Swifts. I have been playing here since 2014 and played right through all the juniors.

Some of my family was playing here back then so I thought I'd come and play here as well.

Q. Who do you see as your toughest opponent and why?

Noradjuha-Quantong in under-17s were probably the hardest to play against. We just got smoked by them in 2017, all three times we played them, but then we got them in the grand final which was great.

Q. What makes you get out of bed on those days where it's not likely to reach 10 degrees and hasn't stopped raining in days?

I actually play pretty good in the wet, so I like it and it is good when the ball is on the ground. And those kind of days are just part of footy and that's what makes it great to play.

Q. Who do you rate the most around the club?

Scott Carey is the best player at the Swifts, he is a fantastic player and Angus Murray is the best bloke around the club. He is always helping out other players and supporting the team.

Q. What is the greatest piece of advice you have received as a player?

Paul Boag was one of the best caches I have had. I had him for about five years and he played similar to how I do, and so he gave me lots of good advice over the journey.
