Re: Matthew Fuller

He's a great pick up for us. Happy with this one.

Re: Matthew Fuller

Looks like he has the potential to become our Shannon Hurn and a fan favourite. Fills an age group need as well.

Could play from round one if his fitness level is up to AFL standard.

Do you think it would be a surprise if he started in Round 1.

He's been playing senior football. He's a chance.

Re: Matthew Fuller

Looks like a good guy for out kick outs which have been pretty ordinary.

Picked him in the reckoning of being available round 1

Re: Matthew Fuller

There seems to be a clear intent from the list management people to have a list of well-seasoned players who have several years within the club but not bordering on retirement, ready to win a flag in 4-5 years time. Dickson, Campbell, Young, Stevens and now Fuller. It may well have been Ben Brown if not Fuller.

Don't mind this selection, don't mind this at all.

Our drafting in 2-3 years time will need to be spot on to fill the gap that this drafting strategy will leave.

The irony is that we're trying to fill the gap from our drafting errors of 4-6 years ago, by bringing in more mature players now.

I don't see a real problem with it, we've still added a lot of kids over the past few years and all we are doing is adding in players who we think can add to us over the next 5-8 years but also provide a more immediate impact to make us more competitive in the shorter term.

I think it's a good strategy - why now improve the list quickly - no reason we can't shoot up the ladder a bit quicker than most suspect and be having a serious crack sooner rather than later.
