    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

    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)

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
