After a horror year with injury in 2010, Knights battled form and fitness issues again in 2011. The 25-year-old impressed when shifted onto the ball in the latter part of the season, amassing 33 possessions and four tackles against Geelong in round 21. Although below his damaging best, Knights still averaged 18 disposals and kicked 10 goals in 16 matches. The attacking left-footer will be hoping to return to his career-best form of three years ago under new coach Brenton Sanderson.

David Noble: “Chris is another one who had a frustrating year in the sense that he probably didn't reach the standards he would've liked, and then towards the end of the season he had a few injuries that ruled him out. He wasn't able to finish the year and get the momentum you can sometimes take into the next pre-season. He'll train his backside off over pre-season and prepare himself to have a better year in 2012. We liked what we saw when we moved him up onto the wing and he could actually impact in the midfield if he can get himself in there. He adds a slightly different dimension as a left-footer and attacking player. Sometimes having those guys in your midfield mix can help break up certain types of games for you.”
