Do you have any pre-game superstitions?
No, I don’t worry about any of that sort of stuff.

It used to be Seinfeld, but it’s probably ‘How I Met Your Mother’ at the moment.

What’s the last book that you read?
It’s called ‘Occy: the rise, fall and rise of (surfer) Mark Occhilupo’. Its good reading. He’s got a couple of real funny stories.

What’s the worst injury you’ve had in your career?
I’d probably say the knee injury (medial strain) I suffered earlier this year. Otherwise, I’ve been pretty free of injuries. I’ve managed to get through without any broken bones so far.

What’s the ringtone on your mobile phone?
I used to have one by [the band] Cut Copy, but it’s just a standard Nokia tone now.

What kind of student were you at school?
You mean when I was there?! I was pretty relaxed. I put a little bit of effort into it and I really enjoyed school, but I was more there for the friends and to have a bit of fun.

What’s your favourite pastime away from footy?
I like to go surfing. I’m not too bad…I’m slowly getting better and I’ve had a bit of help from Rob Shirley and Nathan Bock. They took me out surfing on the Yorke Peninsula after we did the community camp over there. We found some good waves and it’s a nice spot.

What’s your favourite item of clothing?
I can’t go past a new pair of jocks…you can’t beat it.

What’s your earliest football memory?
I was playing under 10s back in Victoria and I kicked my first goal. I don’t remember the goal so much, but more so my dad who was the goal umpire. He was meant to be signalling the goal, but instead he was jumping around with his arms in the air. He was pretty stoked for me.

What’s your middle name?
Brandon

Who is your best mate at the club?
It’s a tough one. Most of the young blokes spend a lot of time together and I spend even more with Shauny Mac [McKernan] because we live together. I also lived with Jarrhan Jacky for a month when I first got over there, which was good fun.

Can you tell us about your family back home in Victoria?
I have an older brother who is 22, a younger sister who is 17 and my mum and dad as well. My brother, Dylan, plays local footy for Upwey-Tecoma in the seniors at the moment and my sister, Shae, plays quite a bit of volleyball. She’s up in Queensland at the moment for the national championships.
