Based on a few pics Fullarton has definitely bulked up since last year.
I do agree but was at a training session before Chrissie and the boys were all running around shirtless and he still looks pretty slight.
Not Hippy slight, but slight.

Charlie stiff. Did have a hot and cold year, but is still the best small forward in the comp - perhaps marginally ahead of Papley but light years ahead of Butler & the next tier.

Liam Ryan says hello.

2019 - Charlie 57 goals (24 games), Ryan 30 (24 games)
2020 - Charlie 31 (19 games), Ryan 26 (18)

But its not all about goals? Yeah I'd argue Charlie provides more pressure than Ryan (significantly). Ryan is a more spectacular and probably better mark, probably has better field kicking, and did some nice things further up the ground this year. But I'm still taking Cameron, Papley then light-years.
 

The Brisbane Lions are excited to announce fan favourite Oscar McInerney has agreed to a new deal with the Club. The three-year contract extension ensures McInerney will be a Lion until at least the end of 2024. The 26-year-old said he was thrilled to commit his future to the Lions.

“I love playing here,’’ he said. “I’m so grateful to Brisbane for giving me my chance at an AFL club and it is because of the help of my coaches and teammates that I’ve been able to improve enough to get a game. “Everyone here wants to get better and that creates an environment I’m really comfortable in. “I am just so happy that I will get to continue coming to work with my mates every day and working together towards our goals.’’

The players have spoken: The Big O is the Players Player of the Year for 2020! The 204cm, 112kg ruckman is coming off his best season as a Lion finishing fourth in the Club Champion voting and collecting the Players’ Player and the Shaun Hart Trademark Player of the Year awards.

McInerney’s journey to becoming an AFL player is a testament to his determination. In one-year McInerney went from playing for the Casey Demons VFL development, supporting his dream to play AFL football with a part time job delivering Christmas Trees team, to securing a spot on the Lions’ Rookie list in late 2016. The following year he won a NEAFL premiership and received the Neville Fallon Award as the Reserves Best and Fairest. He made his AFL debut in 2018 and by 2019 was an influential member of the side that went on to play the Club’s first finals campaign in a decade.

Lions Senior Coach Chris Fagan said the signing would generate a buzz around the Club.

“This is great news for our footy club,’’ he said. “Oscar is a very humble guy and he probably doesn’t realise what he means to us, not just as a great footballer and teammate, but also as a person. “You wouldn’t find a more professional, hardworking player than the Big O and because of that constant drive to improve he has elevated himself to be one of the best ruckmen in the league. “His teammates love playing with him and they draw inspiration from the way he trains and the standards he sets himself.’’
