Must surely be frustrating for Fullarton after a tough year. The difference perhaps though is that, in my view, Fullarton was taken as a forward/ruck option where Campbell seems to be more 'pure' ruck. Different roles maybe? Campbell also seems more likely the true Gawn backup in case of injury.

Of course in saying that, seeing Fullarton toil away for Casey for some genuinely good returns while Petty was allowed months to find form at senior level was surely as frustrating to him as it was to a lot of us supporters. So even with the different roles argument, the selection is still truly baffling.

Being given the flick from one organisation, like Campbell, desperate to get back into the game, believing you are still relevant must be frustrating. Don't you think?

Mate Fullarton’s appalling. The players have all been gobsmacked at his level in training. There’s a reason he didn’t get picked, no matter how injured or out of form others were. 

Hopefully got a rocket in his exit interview, but not holding my breath that it'll do anything. The moment to step up was 12 months ago.

Perhaps so, but I think that's probably more reflective of a career that's well settled in now and he understands the level of his place on a clubs' list. The Fullarton situation seems more unfair in my eyes.

Derksen is another potential cult hero that the MFC media team can get around, @Jaded No More...

I wasn't aware of the playing group opinion, where did you hear that may I ask? I was only aware of his contributions at Casey, where I watched a few games in person, but more so on the live stream. From the outside it certainly seemed at various stages he was more deserving of a spot, on form, than Petty. We do seem to have a habit of picking the team based on training form though don't we?

On a player's family facebook account?

I certainly hope not! We've only just (hopefully) got Shaun Smith away from such things.

Interesting a number of lions posters have been wishing Fullerton was still there so he could play now that Big O is down.

At odd with what l read at the start of the year that he was flying before doing an injury ...

No smoke without fire, there's been more than enough out there to suggest Fullarton  isn't working out.

That is interesting....he's probably wishing the same thing now that O is injured.

Who knows but it's not the stuff you want to hear. Especially about someone the club put faith in to fill a role like this.

Good news is the value of our Future draft picks are sky rocketing!

Are you meaning Petty? I'm not completely following you. Apologies.

That beats anyone at Casey in a similar position this year.

Fullarton looked good in preseason.

He was abysmal in the ruck all year, he now has a chance to play as a permanent forward which is a simpler role.

There’s nothing from the club about Derksen’s role yet but I suspect his value will be as a swing man rather than purely forward.

If Fullarton can demonstrate he has the tank and hard leading style, plus be more than a total zero in aerial contests he can claim the CHF role. I’m not feeling sorry for him that he has to compete with a guy who’s never cracked an afl game.

Tom Campbell looks locked in to come over as Ruck depth. Will be good for Verrall to learn from him.

Derksen is another lock.

Parfitt?
