Tom Fullarton was brought back in to the Brisbane side after injury to Eric Hipwood a month or so ago, and the Lions have visibly struggled to connect through half forward as a result. Fullarton's role is third tall forward, and with Daniel McStay starting a bit deeper than he used to it's Fullarton who really should be the one stepping up to fill Hipwood's shoes. He is still early in his career and does not have the tank of a Hipwood, or the best in the league at this role in Tom T. Lynch of Adelaide. The Lions should have Lynch's manager on the phone already for an off-season trade.

Tom's glass half empty
Primarily positioned as a key forward, Tom Fullarton continued to develop his craft in the NEAFL during 2019. He kicked a goal per outing, including four majors against Aspley in round 3. Fullarton will seek to add meat to the frame in 2020 while biding his time in the twos. Unlikely to ever warrant fantasy interest.
Glass mostly empty for Fullarton
Recruited to play NEAFL halfway through last season from the Brisbane Bullets NBL side, Tom Fullarton played three games for two goals. Fullarton's contract was for this year as well with the club making noises about him requiring a lot more work to get up to the fitness levels of AFL players. Ignore.
