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

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
