Thought Rivers and Lever were far more deserving of the medal. Max had a good game but under immense pressure I thought these two were the ones that really kept us in the game after Richmond were coming hard with their forward entries. We know individual awards really is a midfield award and stats wise Max had a good game but in terms of influential on thr game I really thought Lever and Rivers were my two standards with May a close third.

Awful game. Play like that next week and we'll get smoked. Throw the highlights tape in the bin and move on.

Lol.. club are genuinely taking the [censored] if they think they're top 4 team based on the last two performance. Rabble of a performance

A watch on Melbourne & how it looks to strengthen its front half in October.

Would you?

Great report once again @kev martin 👏

Wow.. maybe he comes in for Benny Brown??

Laurie to be brought in as the extra mid rotation it seems.

Daniel Turner training is interesting. Good to see Kozzie training. No Tholstrup?

I like it. I don't see what the big issue is, people have been screaming for a huge home base and yet when we put a proposal forward its still not good enough. Obviously still a few hoops to jump through but if we can pull this off then what an exciting period for the footy club for the future.

Looks like you and the 3 other laughing galahs haven't heard the term bog ordinary it seems...? Embarrassingly the jokes on them.

Mate he got slaughtered in the ruck in the VFL game against the doggies by a first year player in Lachie Smith who was drafted last year. Brissy fans were jumping for joy when he left. Don't blame them, there is a reason why he hasn't played an AFL game since 2022. As you say, he doesn't play like a big 200cm player should be. He's more of a taller forward flank who gets put bodied fairly easily. Don't give me the Brisbane had too many talls excuse because Darcy bloody Fort was even getting a game for them. But apparently I have to wait until he plays an AFL game for the Demons before I can judge him again 🤣 Yes because that has absolutely worked for the likes of Luke Dunstan, Josh Schache, Majak Daw, Brayden Pruess etc When you bring in NQR's from other clubs that struggle to get a game there, then you going to get exactly what you're paying for. Fullarton is in the same bracket as these players. I will always support any player that pulls on the red and blue on game day even if that's Fullarton on Wednesday. Regardless of what opinions i may have you park that aside on game day because all i want is a win. But I will call it as I see it and his track record at AFL level has been absolutely ordinary, so I will base my opinion on that performances alone until he shows something worth changing my view. He's miraculously not going to be this whole brand new player the moment he pulls on the red and blue jumper. He's been on an AFL list for 6 years now and shown very little. It's the reality. Um because my opinion was based on who my preferred option would be between the two based on what I've seen at VFL level, and how it could benefitour team structure. Varrell has the natural ruck craft and follow up work at ground level. Personally I'd debut Varrell for Ben Brown which would mean JVR gets to focus on being a full time forward. I know very well that this will most likely not be the cad anyway and if they are to bring in a tall player to help chop out in the ruck then yes it will be Fullarton.

And boy aren’t you just just fountain of boring tripe that constantly pipes in whenever someone has a different opinion to you that doesn't float in the same boat as you do. I balanced out my opinion by stating that I thought Will Verrall was much more of a deserved selection purely because he has been far more consistent at VFL level then Fullarton has, which again, is been outlined in the VFL player by player reviews. Clearly I don't think Verrall plays anyway, but based on form and from the VFL games I've seen I'd play Verrall ahead of any other tall target we have. And for your information, Fullarton has played at AFL level and has been absolutely BOG ordinary.

So would I and as you say, has been for more consistent then Verrall as per the VFL player by player confirms.

If people think Schache is soft who lacks physical presence then they're going to get a rude shock watching Fullarton play..

@picket fence

No

Surely we can request permission to open a list spot and put Joel Smith on the inactive spot? I noticed you mentioned Joe Pike from the Falcons. Certainly a developing ruckman who's got genuine upside and has been dominating in the Coates League. Big imposing lad who's gets around the ground well and wins the footy. Not only that, he gets in and gets his hands dirty by laying tackles and doing the one percenters. Certainly a Jason Taylor type pick.

Yes you are correct actually

The Clare Pettyfor appointment already stamping its influence.

Participant award write up for KFW it seems. If Whitford is going to do these weekly write ups then at least provide some real honesty amongst it. You can't expect fans to take him seriously if he's writing stuff like that on that performance already off the back of him averaging 1.0 disposals, 0.3 marks, 0.0 hitouts and 0.0 tackles in 3 VFL games he's played this year. Just call it as you see it. On a different note, we're now seeing the full effect of the Clare Pettyfor appointment. Our media stuff of recent has improved since her appointment.

Amazing some on here see are saying he's 'soft' and 'Jack Watts' mk 2 purely because they've seen the way he's built and style or play. You can tell not many have actually taken the time to watch him play. He kicked 39 goals last year just in the home and away season. Put that form into our side and he would have top our leading goal kicking. We'd be absolutely silly not to be asking the question at least.

You got it wrong. Just admit it. You said he was too short for KPF which I outlined he's the same height as Curnow. You're now trying to justify your argument by going completely off track. Just own it.

Unbelievable... He's the same height as Charlie Curnow 🤣
