    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.

    Pity he doesn't kick it like JVR.

    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

    Got to give him a month.

    Give the lad some confidence.

    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

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
