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.

Date of Birth: 23 February 1999
Height: 198cm

Games CDFC: 14
Goals CDFL: 13

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
