In the media
“Michael has also developed substantially in the last two years. We featured him as a full forward last year at Colts level where he developed into a dangerous goal-kicker. This year we gave him a bit of freedom playing him as a roaming forward player; and he really took to the challenge. Because of his basketball background he has the ability to learn and adapt to various roles; and this has made him a very versatile player.” – Subiaco Colts coach Steven Armstrong on lionsdistrict.com.au
