Excited to see how he goes

JONTY FAULL
Position: Tall forward
Size: 195cm
Clubs: GWV Rebels/Redan
AFL player comparison: Charlie Curnow
There’s something special about this tall Rebel, who’s strong overhead and competitive, yet agile and clean below his knees for a player of his size. Faull bounced back brilliantly after a long lay-off to start the season with a back injury, kicking five goals from three games for Vic Country at national champs level. He was then a dominant force at Coates Talent League level, finishing the season with an impressive 27.16 — including nine goals across two finals for the Rebels — while averaging 13.0 disposals, 4.5 marks and 102 ranking points from 11 matches.

Think we went real early here with Armstrong and Shanahan on board but proven to be positive as we got Armstrong later and Shanahan still on board if we want him.

Not surprised , him & Lalor have been our two primary targets for months. :shh

Do you think he would have still been on the board with 1 of our picks in the 20s?

No. Armstrong had the numbers but Faull has the aggression clubs want from a KPF that rest that were left after Tauru lack in this draft with the possible exception of Gerryn who's more of a ruck - club obviously agreed. :shh

Kid knows where the goals are. Looks promising

Tigers welcome Jonty Faull

Richmond has selected GWV Rebels tall forward, Jonty Faull with its fourth selection, No. 14 overall at tonight’s Telstra AFL Draft.
Faull, a tall forward who is agile and strong overhead helped propel the Rebels into the Coates Talent League Grand Final with bags of four and five goals in the Qualifying and Preliminary Finals this year.
He finished the campaign with 27 goals from 11 games and an average of 13 disposals and 4.5 marks per game.
Faull also booted 20 majors and averaged 13 touches across 12 matches last year as a bottom-aged key position player.
The 195cm product from Ballarat Football League club, Redan, also impressed with his aerial ability when playing representative football for Vic Country.
Faull booted five goals from the three National Championships matches and four score involvements per game.
Richmond Recruiting Officer, Sam Cousens said that Faull was a competitive key forward who attacked contests with vigour, adding that he followed up with strong intent at ground level.
“Jonty is a blue-collar footballer who thrives in physical contests,” he said.
“He had an injury interrupted start to the season but did not miss a beat when he resumed playing, and he was able to hit the scoreboard in all his games for Vic Country, including three against the Allies.
“We are excited to add Jonty to our list and we welcome him and his family to Tigerland.”

They must really rate him ahead of the other kps then as they had Armstrong, Shanahan and the Whitlocks all available at their first pick and opted to take Dattoli. All bar Armstrong were available at their next pick too and they went with a bolter in Bowman. Find it hard to believe they would have taken Faull when they passed on all the other kps with their first 2 picks.

Sounds like Faull was higher rated by afl clubs than various mocks/phantoms/rankings

Faull a unique tall forward
Jonty Faull’s combative playing style is what sets him apart as a young key forward and enhances his prospects of succeeding at the game’s highest level.
That’s leading junior football coach David Loader’s assessment of Richmond’s fourth pick (No. 14 overall) in the AFL national draft.
Loader, who coached Faull at Coates Talent League club Greater Western Victoria Rebels, is a big fan of the way the talented, tall teenager goes about his football up forward.
“Jonty’s a contested-ball key forward who plays with real energy and with real aggression,” Loader said.
“There’s quite a few talls around, but none that really play like Jonty does.
“He’s a stand-and-deliver forward with great athletic traits.”
Faull acknowledged that he thrives on the cut-and-thrust of the on-field battle.
“Certainly, my competitiveness is my big strength,” Faull said on RSN.
“I’m just willing to go for the ball.
“I don’t really care who’s in my way or who’s around it.
“I’ll just go in and dive hard at it. Even if it’s in the air as well.
“I just crash packs and what not.”

Yze's tiger cub watch - Jonty Faull
“We’re holding him back a little bit because the kid is a competitor. He wants to hit bodies and that’s the reason why he went so high (in the national draft) . . . other teams rated him really high. He’s in a good spot, almost full training now. He’ll most likely be available Round 3 or 4 of the AFL program. We need to get him into the program, start feeling bodies. As I said, if there’s a pack there, he’ll try and crash every single one of them. He’s a great kid, and he’s a sponge as well . . .”

lol his sister sounded so annoyed at first :lol

Speaking to the media on Saturday, Yze gave an insight into the key forward’s game and what fans can expect to see from him against the Dockers.
“He’s a competitive kid. He loves the contest, can kick a goal from anywhere within 60 and he is a great teammate,” Yze said.
“He warranted his selection, we are not rushing him in, he would have been in the team even if Harry didn’t hurt himself at training.
“He is ready to play, he’ll compete and hopefully hits the scoreboard. He is a beauty.”

All Faull mainly needs to do today is what he has done so far in the ressies - repeatedly present, contest and at least bring the ball to ground. That's why he got his promotion and debut today. All the best to him.

Off to a win then. Good contest allowing MRJ to gather and goal.

Tough initiation on Alex Pearce but he will only get better
-
Tough day for the kid but would have learnt a lot, helluva lot
-
Plenty to learn before any sort of judgement, good for the run. Would have loved him to nail that shot at goal but apart from that good to have a run.

Jonty Faull and his competitiveness. He’s going to be an anchor for us in that forward line for a long time. To have Lynch show him how it’s done so well is only going to be beneficial #gotiges #talkingtigers

Thought Faull's attack on the ball and competitiveness was excellent. Had a real dip. Such a shame about Armstrong, I'm really looking forward to these two playing together.
-
He didn’t hit the scoreboard but my god I loved Jonty Faull’s work today. Couple of strong grabs, and those he didn’t take, he crumbed himself and gave off the handball.

He was excellent. Really good presenting and hands.
