Oh yeah not like we weren't given a bullshit pick for frawley, a coach and CEO by the AFL and not punished for tanking... No no little old Melbourne's had to earn everything

How do you reckon Fullarton feels after the FH's press conference?Why former Demon believes Goodwin “should be embarrassed” after Freo defeat
The Demons went without a specialised ruckman.www.sen.com.au
Ox is a bit unhinged at times but glad he is calling out some of our selection issues.
I hope he feels embarrassed, if he can't win hitouts at VFL level then **** him.How do you reckon Fullarton feels after the FH's press conference?

Not sure who to blame for that one. Clearly they have no faith in the guy as a player, so why did they trade him in in the first place?
He's finally said something interesting in his press conference! Have to agree with him too. Verrall isn't ready(although surely he would have been better than Petty), and Fullerton is just shit. The club f*d up trading in Grundy. Should have got Meek or someone similar not expecting to be #1 ruck immediately and who was still capable of filling in when needed. Fullerton was never the answer. Bizarre signing in reality. Because he's a poor ruck and isn't a very good forward either.Yeah that's the part that interests me. Hints that Goody and Tim Lamb aren't on the same page...
Don't think he slagged off anyone did he?So the coach decided to slag off a bloke not even playing when there were a dozen blokes that did play who were far more worthy of copping a spray . w***er coach more like it .

I don’t think much of Fullerton, but to say he can’t win hit outs at VFL level was also not true . Anyway it’s about time Goodwin was put under the microscope by the media for his selections.Don't think he slagged off anyone did he?
I don't think the media really care because the club selections have been truly bizarre at times for a number of years. It's more to do with list management IMO. We didn't bother replacing Grundy with a ruckman and basically went into the season with Gawn and Verrall as our rucks brigade. Bizarre really.I don’t think much of Fullerton, but to say he can’t win hit outs at VFL level was also not true . Anyway it’s about time Goodwin was put under the microscope by the media for his selections.
Seems like we did the same thing with Grundy. Is it that we're totally recruiting the wrong players, or that the coaches can't do their job properly?It's pretty simple, you trade someone in with what they could be in mind. If their form isn't any good in the VFL or they haven't worked on the things you need them to work on, they don't deserve a game.
Fullarton clearly wasn't in good enough form at VFL or training to warrant a position in the team. They obviously brought him over thinking he could step up in that situation, but he wasn't in a position to.
Unless they are Oliver then they get all the excuses in the world to display poor form and not work on anythingIt's pretty simple, you trade someone in with what they could be in mind.

Yeah I didn't get that either, why name him as an emergency if you dont think hes up to it. lolAnd finally , if the coach doesn’t rate Fullerton, then why the hell drag him over to Perth to sit in the stands ? Actually I don’t care anymore while Goodwin is the coach .

Because we thought he was better.. how hard is that to workoutFair enough but that doesn’t explain the decision to take another forward plodder in Kentfield over Brynn Teakle a 203cm 23 year old with AFL ruck experience in the midyear draft.
What was the point of taking Kentfield when even Jefferson and Schache can’t get a run in the firsts.

Yeah nah that bloke not even good enough to get a game for north is a superstar though what a massive miss!Looks heaps better with his 5 disposals in the VFL while our firsts got smashed by not having a ruckman.
No one in their right mind can understand why Josh Schacheand Tom Fullarton were brought to the club. see the roar.PLAYERCARDSTART19Josh Schache

Drafting backup rucks so we can trot one out when we dont have Gawn for meaningless games in 2024 > Drafting the guy who we think could turn into something more valuable in the future and might be taken in the National draft.Micho the living definition of those hindsight Melbourne draft articles. 100% if we had drafted teakle hed be sooking why we took another ruck when we already had Verrall and Fullerton and talking about the super prospect Kentfield at North
