    Fullarton is playing well. Instrumental in 2 goals. A better player than Jefferson and JVR.

    He can ruck also, who said he couldn't?

    He's more than competent in the ruck.

    He's playing his role without setting the world on fire, but that's all we want a chop out for Gawn and to contest.

    A good serviceable game from Fullarton today. Forward pay looked solid enough, and his ruck work was better than I anticipated. A lot better than what JVR and Fritsch have been offering.

    Gave a good chop out and unlike JVR he actually leads forward towards the ball carrier.

    He gets another week for me.

    Thanks so much for posting this mate. Got a bit emotional seeing the Wiz speak the way he did about the club.

    Average game but helped Max in the ruck

    that shot for goal was horrible but he’ll probably get another game as no one knocking at the door

    Had a couple of shots at goal that he should have converted. Lead well all day, put pressure on at times and when he went into the ruck he was effective. I think he should get at least another week, played a role and played it well.

    First game at AFL level in 3 years.. i can absolutely excuse the first game jitters.

    JVR shanked an absolute certainty in the lunch time game earlier on just a fyi.

    Fullarton is considerably more agile than the Lumbering Van Rooyen.

    That alone makes our Forward line more functional.

    He also, IMO, gives Max a better chop out.

    Thought he did well as the back up ruck, although O-Mac isn’t exactly Sean Darcy.

    I’d keep him in

    Gee, it doesn't take long for people to turn. Not long so JVR was a saviour. Now he's trash.

    Well, he isn't; imv he needs to be played as a mobile CHF and we will see the best of him.

    JVR at 21yo is a future quality tall fwd

    He will take time but has way more talent than a Fullarton

    Look at Fogarty, he is finally coming good at almost 26. JVR will definitely make it once he learns the trade

    Ditto. Okay performance. He’s back for the next game. His ruck and general forward craft looked better than JVR and it helped Gawn.

    Tom played his role to a nicety, all things considered

    Playing the proper 2nd ruck allowed us to save Max's legs for the last quarter

    And Tom led well on occasions when forward. At some stage, JVR will return but not necessarily at the expense of Fullarton

    We should give Tom a block of 4 games in order to make a better evaluation (from a MC point of view)

    Oscar and an underdone Darcy probably the easiest back up ruck combination in the league but he was better than expected there (some of his Casey efforts in the ruck have been diabolically bad).

    Definitely gets at least 1 more week. Agree that his leading at the ball (and height that draws free kicks) both offer more than JVR. Although I feel for JVR because Melk and Petty are our best tall forwards to play alongside. Whoever we picked in that role had way more of a chance than some of our earlier combinations

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
