Looks like a nice young man with an excellent head of hair....are you suggesting him as a back up for Fritta?

    Good to have another Tom on board.

    Should be a handy ruck/forward with a basketball background.  Should challenge Gawn next year.

    Regardless, he's a demon now so let's see if he can crack into our 22 at some stage next year.

    Pretty much this.

    I understand your point, but this is a free hit. We aren’t using this pick in the draft anyways so who cares.

    Yeah.  Didn't cost much.  Worth a punt

    Melbourne's media department is seriously amateur. 

    They posted an Instagram story of a screenshot of their browser... without cropping out the browser.

    No, they made it deliberately look like a browser 😂

    It's a whole graphic theme they're doing for trade week... pretending to sit at Lamb's desk

    I didn't say it was good 😂

    My fave detail is that the stats bars don't make sense but they're in red and blue

    Please tell me who our backup ruck is if Gawn gets injured? Schache?

    Surprised that anyone watched enough Brisbane VFL to have a strong opinion.

    I like that he kicked some bags. Good athlete. Disposal numbers seem really solid given he didn’t get to ruck much with the Lions so often picking 2 other rucks in their VFL side. 

    I look at the growth in Joel Smith this year as someone with stuff all forward experience but with run and jump in his legs. If Fullarton can provide something similar he can contribute.

    Welcome to this madhouse, Tom.

    You are now a Demon - you will get my full support though I have no idea myself how good a player you are.  Someone in our usually spot on recruiting department thinks you are worth a list spot.  That will do me at lest for now.

    I will remain open minded and hope others will too.

    Thanks mono I also promise that I will firstly thank Tom for choosing MFC as his destination club and also will encourage him to take a leaf out of Michael Hibberd’s legacy of always trying to find a way. Great size, athletic, former captain of the Australian U16 basketball team, kicked 6 goals against Bombers VFL team this year, there is a lot to like about the kid. Give it your best best shot Tom and you just might surprise a lot of people.!!!

    He’s got a great opportunity with his ability to ruck to play in the team. 

    He looks a likely sort and I do prefer this notion of recruiting 24 year old 2m player and not teenagers.

    Yep, at that size he is at least 1-2 years away from peaking

    A very warm welcome, Tom Fullarton, to MFC ☺️

    With summer just around the corner, I’m sure you’ll feel right at home here. I’m aware of your impressive basketball background, and I can’t wait to see you in action for the Dees on the footy field. As a talented young man, I have no doubt you have a bright future ahead of you!

    Relative information:

    Tom Fullarton   24yo, 2.00m tall, 92 kg. A shooting guard. He was the captain of the Australia 2016 under-17 basketball world cup squad.

    Luke Jeckson   22yo, 2.00m tall, 100 kg. A center or a power forward. He was a member of the Australia 2018 under-17 basketball world cup squad.

    Christian Petracca   27yo, 1.86m tall, 96 kg. A small forward(?). He was a member of the Australia 2012 under-17 basketball world cup squad.

    Lol his disposals numbers and the amount of goals kicked at VFL level is identical to Josh Schache's year in his 2022 VFL season.

    Having watched enough VFL of Brisbane this year and some of his previous AFL games it's no wonder Brisbane fans are happy to show pack his bags for him.

    so why give the shack another year absolute waste of time

    All the negative comments here are surprising. It’s not like a club could use a mid-40s pick to get an All Australian ruck man or anything.

     

    Regardless, welcome to the jungle, Tom!

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
