Faull has claims on being the hardest working and most competitive key forward in the crop. The mobile tall not only fulfils his duty of splitting and winning aerial duels, but also follows up keenly at ground level. The vigour and intensity with which he attacks balls in dispute is terrific, proving his impact goes further than just marking and kicking goals.

What aids Faull in his ability to make second efforts is his mobility. At 195cm, he fares best when able to create separation on the lead and outwork his opponent up the ground. While hampered by a back injury in preseason, Faull had sought to build up his tank and it allows him to not only showcase his dexterity, but also good footy IQ and running patterns.

Another facet of. Faull's competitiveness is how he has been able to bounce back against a range of difficult opponents. The likes of Zac McInnes (Geelong) and Liam Callaghan (Oakleigh) kept him well contained in their first meetings, before the GWV spearhead took them for four and five goals respectively in their second meetings - both in finals, no less.

Such performances were indicative of his big game ability and a willingness to quickly make the right adjustments to his craft. Faull stays in the hunt for four quarters and is rarely beaten one-on-one, often drawing free kicks or bringing the ball to ground, but can still look to clunk contested marks more consistently.

Arguably his best contested marking performance came in the Coates Talent League Grand Final, where four of his five grabs came in a contest, matched up against Adrian Cole. Prior to that point, he showed there was improvement to be made in how he leapt at the ball, and taking it with one grab in his hands. Pack marks are another weapon he can add to his arsenal.

Another area for improvement lies in Faull's field kicking. While being able to get his hands on the ball up the field and move with it is a nice bonus, he can tent to rush his though process when quickly wheeling around to kick into attack. With a bit more composure, his disposal around the ground can be as damaging as it is inside 50. Though, he gets good carry.

Faull's set shot goalkicking is quite reliable, and firms as his main avenue to goal. He has a knack for scoring in every game, having been kept goalless just twice this season. He started the campaign with five consecutive efforts of multiple goals and his best haul of five was achieved twice. He was accurate too, posting 27.16 in the Coates Talent League.
