Coach quote on Performance:

“After a debut game through the forward line, Noz stepped into the midfield unit this week and was outstanding defensively and structurally. He controlled stoppages with his bodywork and patience and was clean and hard on exits. His willingness to do cleanup work and cover off for his teammates is an impressive quality at his age and will only see him continue to improve throughout the season. I’m enormously proud of Noz’s tenacity and grit over the past 18 months in how he’s taken control of the direction of his footy career – performances like Saturday’s show best how important he will be to the future of our club.” – Men’s Senior Coach; Tim Spehr
