  • Bastinac exploded out of the blocks with a remarkable 44 possession game against GWS in Round 2. He was the third youngest player to reach 40 possessions and tied Brent Harvey for the most possessions by a North player.
  • He added goal kicking to his armoury. After 10 goals in his first two seasons combined, he kicked 12 in 2012, including a bag of four against Geelong in Round 3.
  • The midfielder re-signed for a further two years in May, fending off interest from GWS. He reached double-figure kicks or handballs in all but one game, and collected 20 possessions or more in 14 of his 23 games for the season.

Background

  • Recruited from Dandenong
  • Clean foot skills off both sides
  • Outstanding endurance as well as a knack for winning the ball in close

 

Season by Season

Season by Season

  • After playing every game in his debut season, Bastinac suffered a knee injury in a training mishap in January. The lateral meniscal tear in his right knee kept him out of action for the first half of the year.
  • He quickly picked up where he left off by collecting 25 disposals in his first game back and played the last 12 games of the season. His 29 possessions against Brisbane in Round 18 was a career high and also saw him collect his first Brownlow votes.
  • At the end of the season he switched from number 28 to number 3, taking the jumper left vacant by Brady Rawlings.

 

  • Bastinac made his debut in Round 1 against Port Adelaide and played every game in his first season.
  • He averaged close to 20 possessions while kicking seven goals.
  • After shutting down Daniel Kerr in Round 3 he earned a NAB Rising Star nomination. He finished fifth in the year-end voting, behind Daniel Hannebery, Tom Scully, Tom Rockliff and Jack Trengove.
