Getting to know: Zac Webster (Rookie)
What kind of player are you: I’m a quick small half forward who likes to get around the packs and get front and centre to the big boys and try and snag a couple of goals.
What are your strengths: My main ones are probably my speed and competitiveness. I like to get in there and get the footy.
What can you work on: Probably my tackling and my composure when I’ve got it.
Team supported growing up: North Melbourne, my whole family did but then my brother got drafted to St Kilda so we were half and half.
