In his own words
What type of player are you?
I am a hard-working key position player that can play at either end (back/forward). My strongest point is my contested marking and I am consistent with multiple leads, and I rely on my fitness to beat/outlast opponents.
Which AFL player do you feel you resemble and why?
As a player I think I resemble Michael Hurley as he is well known to be versatile, playing at both ends with good fitness.
What are your strengths as a footballer?
Marking, fitness, work rate, physicality, goal sense and strength.
What parts of your game would you like to improve?
Kicking, speed, core stability, ground balls
Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
I support the Western Bulldogs as they run in my bloodlines. My grandfather, Harvey Stevens, played in the Bulldogs only premiership in 1954. Like myself, my whole family has always supported the mighty Dogs!
Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
My brother Daniel Talia. I have always been able to train with him and he has always helped me out and given me programs that he received to work on deficiencies in his game. I have always tried to resemble his work rate and attitude when it comes to football.
