In his own words
What type of player are you?
A running half-back who can read the play to shut down my opponent as well as have an impact going forward.

Making sure all my possessions are to the benefit of my teammates. General body strength to assist my tackling.

West Coast, as my father played for them.

My father, Michael Brennan, as he has taught me the finer aspects of the game.
