Our twin towers in the forward line a la Daniher and Hipwood: Fullerton and Schache wreaking havoc for opposing defenders.

    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

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
