    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.

     

    How about you put your personal gripes with Deespencer on hold for a while and stop using Tom as collateral damage in your petty feud.  We get you don’t like Tom as a player, for most of us you only need to say it once.

    Welcome Tom, as a Demon you have our support (other than a few posters who don’t understand the concept of support) and best wishes and I wish you great success while you are with us.

    I'll confess that I haven't seen much of Fullarton, but criticism of his selection is premature. 

    Grundy and Jackson combined for 21 goals in 39 games over the past 2 years as ruck/forwards for us. That's pathetic.

    We know that Max is at his best when he spends a majority of his playing time in the ruck. If Fullarton can pinch hit in the ruck and contribute 15-20 goals as a forward, then it's a win for us. And I'm sure JVR's goal output will improve without the ruck duties.

    I can't see anything negative with this trade. If it doesn't work, we are no worse off.

    Exactly what is he hitting in 1-2 years RP?

    Hitting the team sheet for games in a row

    Reading that he’s a tall forward who was a basketball guard instantly reminds me of jack watts. Does anyone know what his range is like? Can he hit shots from beyond the arc? 
     

    Very happy with the addition. Fits the list profile well. Hope he grows into his niche and amasses a good career at the dees. 
     

    As an aside, if Tom does present well enough, does JVR go higher up the ground in ‘24 and beyond? I like him closer to goal and pack marking/splitting but maybe having that presence will improve our forward connection.

    Welcome aboard Tom.  He’s got the profile that the Dees need as a forward with ability to pinch hit for 6-7 minutes in the ruck (Gawn relief).
    Kind of a free hit for a pick we weren’t going to use, though  I thought Lions would like a future 3rd round to help with points for Levi Ashcroft next year.

    Schache is not a ruck backup. And yes I know I know why did he play the sub role blah blah blah. 
    He is a forward backup.

    Tom is 97kg, so about the same weight as LJ, hopefully TMac will get him onto some great steaks in the pre-season and get him up to 100kg’s.

    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.

     

    So, when whoever  that guy is from Collingwood retires, BT will be able to find another to say every few minutes "and he has a basketball background"

    TMcD and BBB can open an omnivore restaurant together - may need seperate kitchens though.

    Dunno about Tom, but I know some Demonlanders have a lot of C in them. 😏

    We shall soon find out d3165, however you would expect that an athlete who has played in a high performance environment would have a fair degree of grit, determination and will to win that other ingredient isn’t evenly shared around but hopefully he has some in him.!!

    For a ruckman to get an average 15 posessions a game even at VFL level indicates he has a bit of go about him   Maybe not just a Mark and Hitout type.

    Looks like a pretty awesome and tall Casey fwd line in 2024.

    Do you seriously consider all 4 would ever be on the park at the same time? there will always be one or two with mummy like strapping riding bikes on the boundary at training.

    1A, 1F, 2Ls, 1M, 1N, 2Os, 1R, 2Ts and a U, but no C.

    And even if he deed-polls 'James' into his apparently vacant middle name spot (see above), still none.

    As a 2-metre midget, he played guard, I believe. That's a position needing a bit of the third letter?

    p.s. Welcome, Tom!

    I agree that we should pursue someone like Hayes or Lycett. I doubt that the club sees Fullarton as a successor to Max. hence the 2 year deal.

    Maybe 2 and not 1 or 3 will let us asses his true value.  
    Would love it if dazzle and other naysayers had egg on their faces. 
    He is one of our now - support him.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
