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! 😉

    His partner is from VIC so it's a non-issue.

    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)

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
