Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin has defended his decision not to pick ruck option Tom Fullarton for his team’s embarrassing 50-point loss to Fremantle on Sunday. With Max Gawn still sidelined by an ankle injury, Goodwin opted against handing former Lions big man Fullarton his Demons debut for the match-up against Fremantle ruck duo Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson.
“Tom’s really working hard on his craft and he’s got things to work on his game, but he’s not going to win hitouts. “He hasn’t been able to do that at VFL level. “So we went with a player and a group that we thought could compete as strong as anything at ground level but also give us something around the ground. “And to their credit, bits and pieces throughout the day they were able to do that. “But the hit-out game wasn’t something we were going to win no matter who we picked.
