He had a clash with Jim Edmond that hurt his career as well as himself. As a key position player at Hawthorn, he competed for positions with champion stalwarts such as Peter Knights, Dermott Brereton and Chris Mew, often playing as a utility.
He moved to the St Kilda Football Club, where he played from 1991-1994, playing 66 games and booting 32 goals, interchanging between centre half back and half forward where he had a reasonable degree of success.
