In his own words
“Everyone at the club and all the players has been fantastic in terms of helping me settle in. Coming to a club where there is a rich history and a lot of great players have come through the club has made it a great club. I am loving my time here.” Kurt Aylett – Post match Round 8, 2014
Skippy’s Take
“He is a great character to have around the group because he is very self driven and self motivated. He had a fantastic start to the season where he was rewarded with some AFL games and his big focus was to move from a back line player into the midfield. He worked with the midfielders all year and we saw him improve his stoppage craft, his running patterns and his general midfield knowledge. Overall it was a positive year, obviously he would have liked to have played a few more games at AFL level but if you look back on the year he showed significant improvement.” Hayden Skipworth – VFL and Development Coach
