2015 Digest:   Key defender was retained for another year to give the team a veteran presence down back. Best case scenario is the youngsters step up but if injury, or form, dictate a change then the former Saint is on hand to provide it.

2015 NAB Cup:   Veteran defender is having to bide his time in the NEAFL as coach goes with younger option.
