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.

    I was wondering who it was and thought I would have to wait for BT to remind me.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
