Fullarton was clearly recruited as a ruck-forward as evidenced above. Unless you can show something to the contrary, apart from opinion, that he was recruited as a primary ruckman?

 

Didn't say he was a primary ruck but definitely as back up for Gawn. Evidence is in the wording 'Ruck Forward'. Primarily,  as opposed to primary, a ruck is his intended role. He has been beaten by most VFL rucks this season.

nope, he was recruited as a forward who could ruck a bit

the same role jvr is now playing

he's simply nowhere near good enough to ruck at afl level

Agree to disagree but his not good at either. Trent Ormond Allen was a more physical ruckman. Fullarton is a ruck rover at best. We desperately need to go into the market in the off season.

So because the club used the term “Ruck Forward”, you conclude that ruck is his intended role?

 

That’s one of the most illogical points I’ve read on here in a while.

 

You would think if someone’s intended role was a ruckman, it would be listed as such.

 
22 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

equal clearance leader

20 possessions

1 goal 1

He would have delivered more as a half forward.
Most of his possessions were from being a loose player - the opposition was also loose.  
Contested marks anyone?
No point in having someone in the centre that avoids body contact and dump kicks it.

What's baffling is why you continue to keep picking at this scab. 

We get it.  You don't agree with the decision to draft Kentfield. 

No need to make the same post over and over again in multiple threads.

i don't think that's in question

but what's the sell? "come and play in the vfl"? not exactly going to be getting someone more capable than fullarton

if finlayson is pushed out of the pear, i'd consider him a more likely prospect

I find it so hilarious that you are a poster that basically only comments on a single issue and that, of all the possible issues to get heated about, drafting a developing young key forward with a nothing pick in the mid season draft is the issue you’ve chosen.

The world is a weird place.

You're very slow. Some suggest he was recruited as a forward/ ruck. It was the opposite.  Desperate for another ruck, not forward. If we believe your hypothesis for a second the club lost its mind. Who do you suggest was going to fill in for missing Max? Actually, forget it. Bores now. Why would you debate such an illogical person as myself anyway?

There’s no debating our list is devoid of a genuine experienced mature ruckman. I could talk about that for days.

 

But you are clearly ill informed on Fullarton. And haven’t shown anything to prove “a ruck is his intended role”….

Practicing his sales pitch on Pickett at Jefferson Ford run out.

Guaranteed sale apparently.

so mid season draft is all nothing picks is it now?

You are correct when we ran out of tall forwards in ‘22 & ‘23 with disastrous results Fullarton was bought in to hopefully provide some coverage as well as doing the JVR chop out ruck role. However, JVR is a far superior chop out but it’s robbing Peter to pay Paul as he’s not kicking goals and neither is Petty. The fact that the coaches refuse to play Fullarton means he is a bust, so we definitely need to pick up a ruckman in this years draft.

Haha yes well played 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

 

I probably should’ve said - backup ruckman 😅

Bailey Laurie looked a class above today. I could see him pushing into the senior midfield next year. He is looking a lot stronger. He has made big improvements to his game, especially his repeat efforts.

Is that what you trying to say? Then totes agree. 
 

Fullarton goes alright around the ground don’t you think? He has good agility and uses this strength against bigger and stronger ruckman. Not sure he will make the grade at this stage. Good luck to the kid. 
 

🤔

With Woewodin seemingly injured should come in next week and given a 'Sparrow type' run of games. Confidence needs building at AFL level.

Yep agreed. I think there’s upside to pursuing with Fullarton. Noting his age and hasn’t played a heap of football (given his basketball talents).

Bowey & Sparrow have been very poor of late

They should give him a game next week, maybe rest Moniz-Wakefled.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
