GET to know a bit more about our second pick in this year’s rookie draft, Kade Stewart.
What are your strengths as a player?
As an inside midfielder, doing the hard work. That’s what I’ve been born and bred to do.
Where can you improve?
My endurance and my size are probably the main ones.
Who did you support growing up?
I had a soft spot for the Western Bulldogs, I moved to them about four years ago. I supported the Eagles before then, but jumped off the bandwagon for no real reason.
Who was your favourite AFL player growing up?
Probably Luke Hodge – and not because I’m at Hawthorn! He’s a left-footer (like myself), really hard at it and the way he goes about his footy is great to watch.
Who’s your favourite non-AFL sportsperson?
I’m a fan of LeBron James.
Any pre-game rituals?
I just like to get my hands on the ball and get a feel for it. I like to stay pretty level headed.
Favourite band or artist?
Nickelback.
Favourite TV Show?
The Big Bang Theory’s pretty good, and I really loved Sea Patrol.
Who would play you in a movie?
Crocodile Dundee.
Hobbies outside of footy?
I play a bit of golf, cricket and basketball.
What’s your signature dish if you’re trying to impress someone?
Some sausages and steak with a nice Caesar salad, some couscous, mashed potatoes and vegies.
Favourite holiday destination?
America would be unbelievable to go to, Los Angeles and Orlando would be really good.

Goals for 2016?
