Currently aligned with Williamstown in the VFL, the former Leitchville turned Echuca footballer has been one of the league’s premier defenders, averaging 22 disposals and 10 marks for the Seagulls after crossing over from North Melbourne.
The 27-year-old enjoyed a timely performance against Carlton last week, tallying 27 disposals and 15 marks in a monster performance off half-back.
The former Melbourne defender will be aiming to make his return to the top-flight for the first time since 2021.
He has reportedly received interest from the Western Bulldogs and Greater Western Sydney in the lead-up.
Meanwhile, teammate and fellow Echuca-listed player Darby Henderson has also nominated for the draft.
Henderson has been one of the Seagulls most reliable forwards in 2023, and is also coming off a handy return of 18 disposals and two goals.
Kyabram duo Charlie Barnett and Mitch Dodos have also put their names in for discussion.
There will be 371 names from across the country competing for 18 spots when draft night comes around. The draft will be viewable on AFL.com.au or the AFL Live Official App.
