Marc Bullen

I(The #1 Fan of Marc Bullen) is asking for your opinions on him?

I think he is a great young player. He really played well on the weekend. He is only young and has a great career ahead of him. He will be the next champ for the bombers!

I've been a member of the Marc Bullen bandwagon for 2 years now, and its great to see him finally getting a crack at AFL level.

He has a real crack using his pace, he has a real ball winning ability and great sense of where his teammates are in traffic. The only criticism is his foot disposal, but that will come with more training and the such.

I just wish he'd get more game time as he is a good player, but with the way Teddy Richards, Cory McGrath, Shane Harvey and the like are getting screwed down at Windy Hill he should consider himself pretty lucky!

yeh hes going ok. Has been pretty consistent since retaining his senior spot, although i do agree with mongrelpunt that he has been lucky whereas others vent. Personally i would prefer to see either shane harvey, jobe watson or winderlich in the side ahead of him but if he is the one keeping cory mcgrath out of the side great!

No I am the #1 fan of Bullen

Seriously though - he should be being played as we need to know if he is up to it. I personally think he is the new smokin joe - bit smaller but if you watch the Ess vMelb game again - watch how clean his hands were in the wet.

In 3 years time, we should have him, Winder, Walsh, Jobe and Harvs (if his head has shrunk) which to me look a pretty awesome onball unit - this is not including the established players such as JJ, MJ, Rioli and Razzamatazz (who will be our no.1 midfileder in 1-2 years).

Very impressive - i think he'll end up more like JJ than Joey though. Not that i'd care

Must get Most Improved, joke if he doesn`t.

Not that I don't like Bully or anything, don't get me wrong, but I like Teddy more. Teddy has arguably jostled out Paul Barnard who used to be a walk-up start in the last few years!

Barnard is a f@cking log - anyone could knock him out. Mind you have been impressed with Richards as I didn't think much of him. But Bullen has finally been given a chance and has taken it by the scruff of the neck - gets under peoples guard just how much skill the boy has.

I'm very impressed by him (in more ways than one...mmm ). He's got a lot of potential, and I can't wait to see him get some more games under his belt. Love to see him get the ball, he does it so brilliantly for a kid. (How old is he?)
