Matthew Sully

Matthew Sully - 195cms 89kgs - solid key position FB/CHB.

Had a great year for Geelong Cats VFL Team He would be perfect backup and future FB (allowing Frawley to play more attacking rebound role).

Is he better than Gillies? Was he delisted? Do you think he is better than Nicholson? If he is and we are looking for a player like him, do you think he would go in the PSD or 1st pick in the Rookie draft, before we could get him in the rookie draft?

This is the only real info I could find on Sully, and seeing as we missed out on Giles (Carlton taking him at Pick 39!) he may well be worth a punt if still there at Pick 2 in the Rookie Draft.

Matthew Sully (VIC KPD)

Height: 195cm, Weight: 89kg, DOB: 15/10/1992

Recruited from: Geelong (VFL)

Style:

Player comparison: Kyle Hartigan

Range: 35-rookie

Profile: Good 1v1 defender who plays a strong shutdown role in the back half. He will consistently win his contests getting in the spoil every time or take the mark and has some real body on body strength. Hell get the job done every week and he has stepped his game up again this year and is ready to take the next step. AFL ready despite his still relatively young age and can step in for a team immediately as a stopper down back.

If he's already gone, I think out next two best options for a Key defenders post are Fraser Fort and Alex Spencer as listed below. I actually like the sound of Spencer, and he's from Sandringham Dragons which seems to be our flavour of the month at the moment.

Fraser Fort (VIC KPD)

Height: 196cm, Weight: 84kg, DOB: 04/10/1995

Recruited from: Geelong Falcons

Style:

Player comparison:

Range: 30-rookie

Profile: Fort is one of the better key defenders in the TAC. Hes more your shutdown defender with some real athleticism with his pace and leap both above average. He has in the past also shown that he can play forward to a solid standard and present as a marking target but in a star studded Geelong Falcons team with McCartin and Goddard who both look like top 5 selections next year both as key forwards there is a pretty good reason why he hasnt played forward as much this season. I see Fort settling as more of a defender with others more talented as forwards but hell need to continue to expand his game. Hes generally strong overhead and plays well down both ends of the field.

Alex Spencer (VIC KPD)

Height: 193cm, Weight: 83kg, DOB: 19/04/1995

Recruited from: Sandringham Dragons

Style:

Player comparison:

Range: 30 - undrafted

Profile: Spencer is an athletic key defender with some versatility to his game. He has a strong 1v1 game and is a strong contested mark. Behind the play he reads the ball well and has a natural feel for when he can go and take an intercept mark. He also has the ability to play either a shutdown or rebounding role as required. He also isnt afraid to take the game on with his run and carry or use it by foot as one of the better kicks at his size. He just doesnt come with any flash to his game as a relatively unexciting key defender.

We do need at least one more tall key defender.

[spirit of norm smith 16,615]

Yes, Matthew Sully is more worthy of a spot on our list ahead of Byrnes, Nicho, Bail and a few others.

[CBDees 3,167]

21yo and a solid frame, Sully seems ready to play. We need back-up KPDs going forward so as we not exposed as we were last year by lack of depth in our forwardline, something that hopefully will be less of a problem next year with Hogan coming in, Clark coming back, plus Dawes and Fitzy.

[Ron Burgundy 8,587]

We have Pedersen.

[Carrot Top 947]

Not a fan of the name for some reason.
