Kicked the first goal in the last quarter of the late season clash, trapping Jack Viney in a holding the ball tackle.

Laid an inside 50 tackle later in the quarter which led to a goal and he had several involvements in the last two minutes which allowed the Magpies to get stoppage after stoppage in their forward 50 and deny the Dees an opportunity to steal it late.
