Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award.

True BBP we will never know if they never play him, he played 19 games with Lions and starred in their Reserves so can only hope that he shows us that he can play.

My belief was that he was originally signed as a forward with possible short stints in the ruck. The delivery into the forward line at Casey was very average, not helped by a long injury list and an extended time in ruck where he struggled at times against heavier opposition. I would like to see him more as a forward this season. Maybe they played him in the ruck more last season as a learning experience. I am still hopeful he will have something to offer.

I think choosing to play an undercooked Petty as first ruck over a fit Fullerton sadly shows where he's at.

Both player and club ought to be extremely disappointed with one another that he wasn't called up for the Essendon and Freo games when Gawn was out.

Probably sums up where he sits in the depth chat.

Only Casey watchers could have any idea if he would have been even in consideration for the Max replacement.  I suspect he wasn't seeing that he wasn't selected.

Hopefully he will be fit and driven to show us all that he wasn't a wasted list space - over to you, Tom

He did what was reported as an 8 week hamstring at the end of January.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/1074000/melbourne-demons-recruit-tom-fullarton-to-miss-start-of-season-due-to-hamstring-injury

He made it back for round 1 of VFL which wasn't until 22 March, the same day as our 3rd match of the season.

 

Not saying he will set the world on fire next year, but it's always hard to make an impact after that type of injury.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
