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.

    I heard Scott Pendlebury had a basketball background.

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

    Melbourne's media department is seriously amateur. 

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

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
