George BURBURY

2014 Digest:   Elevated to the senior list despite injuries interrupting large chunks of the forward’s 2013 season. Tragedy struck in the NAB opener when he broke his jaw in a sickening collision with Nick Maxwell and will miss the opening rounds of the season.

2014 NAB Cup:   One of the standouts over summer until broke jaw in NAB opener. Should be back by Round 2/3.
