Output in context · Central Coast Mariners finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.6, Paull carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the A-League (top 32%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Central Coast Mariners finished 9th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
