Hard to get an interstate recruit that lives up to their profile AND sticks around for a long time. Both North and the competition in general will miss him.

One of my favourite players to commentate during my 10 years broadcasting the competition.

I know it was only against the NEAFL but I remember when he kicked 7 in a state game.

Quality player and a quality person, been lucky enough to interview him a few times.

Agree. 13 years is a good effort. For about the last five years I was thinking he was bound to have moved on with so many players coming and going from the SANFL these days, and then he'd bob up on the telly and kick a handful of goals.
