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.

 

No one’s ever said Schache isn’t a good VFL footballer tho! He just lacks the contested ability and athleticism to bring it to AFL level.

I’m not expecting much from Fullarton but he’s younger, been in the afl/elite junior system far less than Schache and a better athlete. It makes sense that he has more improvement in him.

The last time I saw Fullarton play was the semi final against us last year and I thought for a young ruck/forward he had some promise with more development. Not saying there’s a huge chance he becomes a player but I’m willing to at least see how he goes given it’s been a year (and another preseason with us) since he last played.

    He'll surprise. Never underestimate the lure of wanting to prove others wrong. On that basis alone, I'm happy to back the kid in.

    With the extra size up forward on our list, is it Tmac who plays back in Casey or Schache? Or both?

    …. or maybe neither?

    I wish the reserves grade had survived so we could play people in position. Are teams allowed to send a player anywhere under Casey to get more minutes? Can’t see how we get appropriate match time into Verrall and Farris white if fullarton plays for Casey and needs his minutes too.

    Oh  i'm sure our forward line coach will teach him well, have we got one yet?

    Good question.  I seem to remember one of our listed rookie rucks played amateurs or local for a while a few years back as there was a glut at Casey.  Casey guys could probably help more with this question.

    This guy is a cheap option who can play key forward and score and assist in the ruck. That’s what we were seeking.

    Good luck Tom.

    From the start of trade period. Tim Lamb showing good restraint with a reporter asking him why they think Fullarton will be different than Grundy. Around 7min mark. Other random tid bits in the video that are old news now and prior to most of the club meetings.

    Yes, Farris White played for another team a number of times (can't remember who). So did Bradtke

    Geez, what a warm welcome. 

     

    Classic Demonland

     

    Fullarton has had a sniff in a tight, talented forward line at AFL level - and has gone on to hone his skills to learn more about the AFL level, one level down. With the right development, opportunities may well rise given our dire need for more tall forwards. This may well be his big break - I would expect him to think so and thus, bite the bullet wholeheartedly. Ya never know if ya don't get a go and ya never know if ya don't have a go. The boys have just got to work him into the lattice that is the MFC.

    If I hear that again I'm applying to join the bloody Harlem Globetrotters. Scott is undoubtedly the second best known basketballer in Australia.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
