Back Pocket specialist. Very hard to beat. Automatic selection each week. Aggressive player and Bulldog through and through. Was possibly the leagues most struck player during his playing days and often turned up at the tribunal as the aggrieved party. This was likely due to his use of the squirrel grip that he managed to often hide from the umpires, but not the fans.

Sometimes used as a tagger. Got the coaching job in 1990 and for a while had moderate success. In 1994 coaching to a turn for the worst and he was replaced by Alan Joyce mid-season. After that he became a successful television commentator..
