Player Watch #39 Jack Buller

[Grand Uncle Horace]

No guarantees WAFL form will translate to AFL, but I’m at least confident he’ll be able to give it a damn good shake through the VFL.

Agreed that we’ll all be happy if he kicks on as an AFL standard player!

A lot of pretty astute West Coast fans (who follow the WAFL closely) over here are pretty disappointed that they didn’t free up a second spot to accommodate him.

The happiest player in our VFL team will be Hugo who gets double teamed as an undersized kpf

True.

But this time we haven’t gone for project players.

Or 68kg half back flankers (with all due respect to Malachy Carruthers).

Hugo will hopefully get a crack this year and Lachlan is developing nicely.

Tonight? Bugger. Am so pissed off I'm sick again. This is the 3rd game I've missed due to illness.

kicked 5 all those years ago.

Also, surely his nickname is "Mount"?

 

[WillHayward]

Aaaannnnnddd he's good

 

[caesar88]

Enjoy your debut son

2019 was worth it for my favourite ever board nickname of Grassy.

 

[momentbymoment]

Jesus keep a lid on it.

This bloke was the LAST pick in a midseason draft. Overlooked for 4 years. He's not going to come in and kick bags a game.

Went ok for his first game.
In fact, he probably helped the Reserves get their first win.

Fancy that.

I hope Buller has not yet peaked, and is not a downhill skier, and can help us scale the ladder

When is your one man comedy show? I wish to buy front row seats!

 

[Dubai Quacker]

If Buller debuts & Armatey is OK - I’m off to buy one of these.

First interview with Jack by the club's media team after he played in his first VFL game for us: It was so awesome to get a win first up - Buller.

Wow! Congratulations Jack!

 

[BarneyBent]

Said it earlier, should have debuted last week! Hope he gets some decent service.

 

[alex4445]

Wow that was fast.

Looked so confident and self assured in the VFL on the weekend hopefully he can take that step up and become a legitimate long term option.
