What Was Jonty Faull Starting to Show Richmond in Early 2026?
Updated: Aug 30
The full RTSSG member feature, The Rise of Jonty Faull Sparks Hope at Punt Road, is the source for this Public question.
Early in 2026, Jonty Faull produced passages that gave Richmond supporters a clearer look at what the young key forward might eventually become.
The useful question is not whether one performance was exciting. It is which parts of it could survive repetition.
Was the strongest evidence in his marking, leading, contest work, movement, pressure, positioning or the way he connected with other forwards? Which traits were already AFL-level, and which still depended on the game unfolding in his favour?
How much should Richmond ask of a young tall while the team around him is also learning how it wants to move the ball?
The full feature separates the glimpse from the projection and asks what Faull would need to repeat before hope becomes evidence.
