Playing style
Behich defends from depth rather than aggression, using intelligent reading of play and lateral movement to cut off advancing threats. He operates as a traditional fullback, content to shepherd possession wide and recycle the ball rather than drive forward with pace. His game is fundamentally about staying compact and making the simple pass.
View style breakdown →World Cup 2026 outlook
A veteran presence in Australian football whose best years are behind him, Behich remains a squad-level option for depth rather than a driving force. His significance now lies in mentorship and availability as a dependable rotation piece rather than as a starting focal point.
