- Despite not struggling to find the ball, Anthony was dropped after Round 7 to work on the defensive side of his game.
- On his return six weeks later, Anthony showcased a newfound determination to be an asset on both sides of the ball. His tackling pressure and defensive running was just as good as his improved efficiency with the ball in hand.
- With his spot secure in the team for the rest of the season, Anthony strung together 12 consecutive games. It was his highest streak since arriving in 2009.
Background
- Recruited from East Fremantle in the WAFL as a mature-age pickup
- Has the ability to collect large amounts of possessions
- Battled injuries in his first few seasons
Season by Season
Season by Season
- With injuries behind him, Anthony picked up where he left off by accumulating a lot of the ball.
- However as the season wore on, Anthony struggled to have an impact when he did have the ball in his hands.
- After spending more time forward during the middle parts of the year, he was dropped following the Round 16 loss to Collingwood and was unable to break back into the senior side for the rest of the season.
- After playing the last 10 games of 2009, Anthony started out well in 2010 playing the first seven games.
- Averaging more than 23 possessions a game and chipping in with handy goals, Anthony became a vital part of the North midfield.
- Against Collingwood he dislocated his shoulder and was booked in for a shoulder reconstruction, ending his season.
