It took a career-saving trade to St Kilda to repair his reputation - and gave the Saints a classy ruck-forward option during the AFL Grand Final years of 2009-2010. He joins us to talk about his rollercoaster career, and life outside footy, which now includes real estate and owning a Group 1 Blue Diamond winning racehorse called Streisand!
