    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
