While he was able to have an influence at times throughout the year when he came on as the Swans' substitute, he often found it difficult to find the ball through 4 quarters of football. Although he suffered a disappointing 2011 season, he had an impressive lift of form in the 2012 season. The most notable improvements in his form are improved foot speed, kicking accuracy, and decision making.
