Dream Team Profile

2013 Digest:   Former Lion was dropped twice early last year but responded by playing the last 13 games of the season. Type of player who can let himself down with decisions and skill execution and will need to be at the top of his game to retain a place in the side. Can’t afford to be off during the NAB Cup.

2013 NAB Cup:   Do we read anything into the fact he was dropped for last weekend’s hit-out vs. Suns?
