I was elevated from the Swans rookie list and made my senior debut in 1999, despite being previously cut from the supplementary list. For a while, I struggled to cement my place in the team, but since Paul Roos replaced Rodney Eade as coach, my career has blossomed.I was runner-up for the clubs best and fairest award in both 2003 and 2004, making the All Australian Team in 2004. After the resignation of Stuart Maxfield from the Sydney captaincy in the early rounds of the 2005 premiership season, I was one of the six players in the captaincy rotation. I captained the club for 4 games and was later named the best and fairest in the 2005 premiership winning team. a href="http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com" style="position:absolute; z-index:9; top:0px; left:50%; margin-left:-235px; width:80px; height:15px; background-image:url
