Full back has traditionally been a purely defensive role, with the aim of stopping the full forward from getting the ball and scoring. As the game has evolved and become quicker the full back often starts the chain of possession up the ground. The defensive aspect of the position remains important with the ability to accelerate and change direction quickly. Spoiling the ball is also of utmost importance. The full back is often the player that kicks the ball back into play after a point has been kicked. Read More ...

Matt Boland couldn’t find a regular VFL spot and hadn’t played finals for some time when he made the decision to come west to join Subiaco in 2014, and the full-forward has been a driving force behind the Lions now seemingly being guaranteed of a top two finish.

That meant that when Subiaco came calling for him to join the WAFL, he was only too happy to take up the challenge and he has delivered in spades so far kicking 47 goals in his 16 matches this season in a Lions team currently only 0.02 of a per cent behind the league-leading East Perth on the ladder.
