The six-time All Australian continues to perform at an elite level. After an injury-ravaged 2013, he kicked 46 goals in 2014 including a bag of four in a virtuoso performance in a qualifying final loss to the Sydney Swans. He is still very good one on one, reading the ball well and protecting the drop when well positioned. His running capacity is still very good although he doesn't work through the midfield like he used to. His leadership qualities were again vindicated when teammates voted him captain for the ninth straight year.
