    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

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
