[Dan87]

Awesome. Welcome to the Bloods Jack

Go roll up the sleeves and monster em

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Sensational selection!

I’ve seen Jack play for Claremont in the WAFL.

Brutal power and athleticism.

Love seeing another Claremont boy join the Swans!

 

[caesar88]

Jack Buller just sounds like the name of a country footballer whose racked up about 12 suspensions over the journey

Go well son!

 

[Punts]

Good pick ups

 

[Cadsky]

Love that he has already played representative footy with Logan. Would absolutely love for those two to be key pillars in our forward line for the next 10 years.

 

[Shaq_01]

We finally have a potential monster power forward who is athletic also.

We have not had one since Barry Hall days.

Good Luck to Jack

Hopefully he grabs the opportunity and works really hard and becomes as dominant as Barry H was at his peak.

I love the mix of forwards we have now

Each unique skills

Jack hitting the pack:

Said suspensions became known as Bullers Day Off.

 

[SwansProudly]

"Jack has always been around the scene being in the WAFL program and AFL Academy in 2018 but he has got himself really fit and taken his football to a higher level. Don Pyke has strong connections in the WAFL and with Claremont and we heard he was in very good form. He can also go into the ruck, he competes really hard - that was one of the key things we liked about him as a key forward and a ruckman."

Arnold and Buller join Swans in Mid-Season Draft

The Sydney Swans have welcomed two key position players in the 2023 Mid-Season Draft on Wednesday night.

From May 11:

Penny drops for WAFL mid-season hope after draft year 'unravelled'

Overlooked in his draft year, Jack Buller set to work on his fitness and is now a leading contender for this year's Mid-Season Draft

www.afl.com.au

 

[caesar88]

Good on him for recognising his shortcomings and what was needed to be better.

It's tempting to have low expectations of these mid-season draftees.

Honestly the lowest of bars for Buller to pass would just be a serviceable depth forward who can provide some much-needed forward structure in our VFL team. Anything more than that would be a bonus.

The dream? He ends up like Nick Larkey

reckons Buller was his toughest match-up in the WAFL.

High praise from someone who’d certainly know.

"Needs to be on an AFL list": Claremont's Jack Buller backed to stand tall in the top flight

An Eagles champion believes the powerful forward "has every skill to be a good AFL player" as the Mid-Season Draft nears.

Good on him for recognising his shortcomings and what was needed to be better.

I think Taylor Walker was rated higher than that but he went under the NSW Scholarships Scheme.

 

[SeanM]

He might be a chance of getting an AFL game later in the season once he settles in. We seem to prefer 3 talls in the forward line, so there is an opportunity.

Might also help our VFL structure to have at least one big key forward. Could be good for the development of guys like Hall-Kahan, Magor and Konstanty to be able to crumb off a tall forward in the reserves.

 

[Superstar swan]

Think there will be definitely opportunities for him very soon. With logan, Reid and amartey out for the long term, buddy will no doubt miss games plus he's a genuine fwd/2nd ruck option.

He will be playing in the seniors very soon

 

[Jeffers]

The Big Bull coming to an SCG near you

 

[Jeffers]

 

[SeanM]

I actually forgot how much of a short term need, a ruck/forward was for the mid season draft.

Unless Amartey gets back on schedule. It seems like it is Franklin/McLean with possibly McAndrew as a 2nd ruck or using someone like Francis forward.

Although I don't know if they would throw Buller straight in without a few weeks of training with the team and VFL games. But it is probably easier to come in as the 3rd tall and play a role rather than straight into defence as one of the main KPDs.

 

[wills2g]

worth taking punts on best perfoming players in the 2s that they can make AFL

looks physically ready

Amartey will return straight after the break. Logan not so unfortunately. I can see him, Amartey and McLean monstering defences.

This …
We may have accidentally solved our forward line for years to come.

Amartey. McLean. Logan. Buller.
