He was drafted in the 1997 AFL Draft at pick number 66 overall, From Pinnaroo, South Australia. He made his AFL debut in 1998 against Carlton at Princes Park.

In that season, he averaged 18 disposals a game and was used in a variety of backline and midfield roles. Well known for his gut-running and attack on the ball.
