Matt Fuller

What are people's thoughts about picking him up come draft time?

Going by the article he is a long and accurate kick, got a good size body on him and could play a role in our back line. We need as many good kicks out of it as possible, given the current standard.

I'm all for drafting him at 40, if no decent player drops down the order.

Seems like what Roos and Melbourne want. Proven player, right age and has some skill.

yes... shhhhhh. Fuller and Dumont were my ones to watch from the SANFL GF.

Nathan Gorden also will be on an AFL list in 2014

I went to school with fuller and played a bit against him in the hfl. His stand out is his work ethic, he was an average player as a teenager, decent but nothing spectacular but he has worked so hard at his game and fitness. From what I've heard on here about cross- same mindset.

I remember as a 16 year old when I was living in the hills seeing him running along beside the road in the freezing cold during off season.

He's become a good player for norwood in defence purely on hard work and determination. He has talent but he definitely isn't the kind of guy that relies on it.

Would love to see him at melbourne despite his size, lol he was tiny at school and hasn't put many kilos on since but he has great core strength.

Yeah it's usually fairly warm in the adelaide hills but I guess it was just one of those crappy afternoons. Cold enough that I wouldn't of been jogging around in running shorts that's for sure but lol then again I played in pants as a kid

FOOTY TRAGIC does a phantom draft with a difference. Here's his take on Fuller:-

“#43 – MATT FULLER

Height: 180cm, Weight: 84kg, DOB: 1/6/1990

Recruited from: Norwood

In a not so dissimilar way to Dean Terlich, who got drafted to Melbourne after a great season for Norwood and finals series in particular, Matt Fuller looks to follow suit.

Fuller’s one of quite a few mature age players I expect to land at an AFL club on draft night.

Fuller is a half-back flanker with a very good left-foot kick on him. I think he is a more complete defender than Terlich with extra composure and skill. He reads the play really well and is good at zoning off for the intercept mark. With his big build, despite his height, he is often winning or at least breaking even in the one on one contest.

He loves to run and create from the backline and has been an 80m player for Norwood for much of the season. He is a really long kick and many Legs supporters will never forget his goal in the Grand Final. Fuller is very capable on both sides. He is not afraid to go on to the right boot, even from kick-ins.

He wasn’t invited to the Combine or State Screening which is an indication of interest from clubs, but his coach Nathan Bassett seems pretty confident that he’ll be on an AFL list next year.

I’d expect him to start at many lowly teams next season. He’d slot right in on to the back-flank and contribute immediately.”

Well all i've seen from him was the highlight reel on the AFL website and it was one kick, a good kick, but i can't go off by one kick.

If Roos sees him fit, why not?

Fuller is a gun.
