... on a great career despite being maligned by many over the years

Gary Ablett Jnr and Chris Judd regard him as one of the toughest run-with taggers they have played against which is pretty solid endorsement.

I was surprised to recall that he was first drafted way back in 1999. I think he may have been delisted and then brought back but can't remember for sure.

He always gave his all taking on the unglamourous roles year after year. 150 committed AFL games.

Agreed! Will not be surprised if he gets another season at another AFL club.
