    His DE is 73.4%, pretty decent.
    Averages 3.1 tackles this year which is more than a few of our better regarded players (e.g. Bailey Smith or Lachie Hunter, I checked against our so-called better ball users who run through the wing).

    He's a lot more uncontested this year though. Didn't realise he was over 33, could be his last year.

    Whilst his DE seems fine, it doesn't tell the full story, see here:

    The one that surprised me was Mitch Duncan. Didn't realise he was already 30.

    Teenager by Geelong standards.

    Hanging around with older people always makes you seem younger, same principal applies to hanging with ugly people.

    Being reasonably small and getting constantly smashed would have to take its toll also.

    I haven't watched much of him at Geelong but he was fearless and reckless with his body at the Dogs.
