Argus was the sole representative from the entire NSW side to be nominated for the All Australian team, an achievement leaving the talented youngster shocked.
“It really surprised me actually, but I was really happy to find out that I had been picked,” he said.
“I think I went pretty good I mean I must have done something good I guess.”
As a whole, the NSW side put in one of its better performances to date to finish third after defeating Queensland in the bronze medal game.
The only matches the side lost were to the powerhouses of Victoria and South Australia.
“I think as a team we played really well,” he said.
“Being NSW we don’t normally get up that much really I think normally we would finish fourth as a high point really, but we went really well in this carnival.
“The boys did really well.”
Argus is a part of the Greater Western Sydney Giants Academy and he hope to make the opportunity will help him make the big step after school.
“The dream would be to get into footy,” he said. “If it happens it happens I guess.”
Blake thanked the Griffith community and the Swans for their support.
