    I had never heard of Tom Fullarton until now.

    Sounds like he could be a handy back-up ruckman for Max Gawn.

     

    Great to see another player nominating the Melbourne Demons as their preference.

     

     

    Nice to be a destination Club! 😉

    I believe they’ve since tightened recruiting rules and they now test for over-possessive mother at the draft combine

    That’s because he is still trying to remember his password to get into his phone.

    Fullarton certainly fills a significant need for the club and presumably will cost very little.

    Hopefully he is prepared to play as a battering ram in the ruck and up forward, as this seems to be how we want to play.

    Since others have mentioned it, it is one thing to resign Schache, it is another entirely to have done it any time prior to the end of the trade period, let alone during the footy season. You have to assume they are expecting Brown to move on, although I wouldn't blame him for collecting another year's salary.

    I think you'll be disappointed if you're hoping for "battering ram".

    Good list fit. First thought is a future 3rd, let’s not waste time haggling an easy kill trade when there’s bigger fish to fry. Get it done Monday and welcome him to a great opportunity.

    Agreed.  Sounds fair.  Dees are usually good at negotiating and not dragging out arguing over loose change

    Agreed, future 3rd seems fair.  My guess is brisbane ask for our 2nd this year and we settle on our end of second free agency compo for JJ

    seems like a good punt, moves pretty well for 200cm. If its simply the case of being too far down he pecking order, I saw Its good for a late pick.

    He kicked 30.22 in the VFL this year as a ruck/forward.  He is a big bodied ruck/forward that could relieve Maxy in the 6-7 minutes a quarter but also be capable ahead of the big sticks. Means we’d let JVR be a permanent forward and potentially cover if Petty was delayed in his return.

    Lions will be looking for future picks for the younger Ashcroft next year.

    The kid doesn’t have to be brilliant from day 1..  hes currently some ability..with more potential... he's still early in his career for a big lad.

    I think there's a lot of upside to this. Nothings carved in stone. Not costing the earth.

    no chance we are giving a second rounder for a bloke that played zero games this year despite McStay leaving and will very likely play zero games in 2024

    Future second should do it, with a Coke and minimum chips coming back with Tom.

    We would have been scouting him at all his VFL games.  I'm quietly excited about this.  Maybe not a big impact in 2024 but he's only young for a giant

    Done a little sleuth on Brisbane bigfooty and they don’t care about losing him. Think he’s a bit soft like Schache, though apparently he is not scared of his own shadow like Schache. Future 4th and see how he goes in a new environment.

    If JVR, Petty and Smith can hold down the AFL forward spots, our VFL will be stacked with talls

    He's coming to us...will endure a "Melbourne" preseason.... and one from hell if Goody keeps his word.

    Might be a very energised Tom come season 24.

    I think ( more hope really ) we're going to see a very different front end and clearance team

    He's a Fwd/ Ruck, from all reports. Seems like he averaged about 5 hit outs a game in the VFL (according to Twitter)

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
