Someone on Bigfooty said a source has told him that Tomlinson will be a Dee? Not sure who his source would be  

If true, wonder if it could fit in with a DL's  post of Tomlinson to us, compo pick end of first round to GWS and then that compo pick plus picks 12 and 14 from GWS for our pick 3.

King appears to be out of the equation from GC for next year. If we lose pick 2, then 3 might be used in a deal.

    We have been all over him since mid year. Not willing to publish contact source on here but I can categorically tell you we are on.

    Is he actually any good?

    I’m not convinced. Big lump, but he floats around up the ground and isn’t a great contested mark or physical threat. He’s got a bit of the “looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane” imo.

    A bit of the “Paul Johnson”s about him? I think he’s a little better than that.

    Will play the roaming tall role ala Hogan/Lynch(Ade). He’s an elite runner, so will be perfect leading up the ground as a linkman.

    Hoping we get him via free agency.

    He has been dropped for the final against the Dogs. Obviously on the outer as he won’t be there next year!

    He's a bit of an enigma - definitely an untapped talent with all the makings of a very good player.  To this stage, he has been comfortably 'good'.  I've been keen for us to go after him as a free agent as he would add some much needed class and run to our side. 

    The concern is that in 8 seasons, he's never really cemented a position on the ground.  He's played forward, back and wing with some success, but has lacked the consistency and ball-winning ability to be considered a top player.  Reminds me a little bit of Jack Watts in that regard.

    I will not reveal anything to anyone,  because people will ask for my source , and if I reveal it I could get killed, so I’m better off saying nothing.

    I think you will find that he hasn’t locked down a position purely because he is flexible. Can play forward, back on the wing etc. considering most people called GWS the Ferrari, he has only missed 3 games in 3 years which says to me he is pretty good.

    Would love Tomlinson on the opposing wing to Langdon. Running machine with good skills and we'd get him for free

    He does move beautifully and kicks with a natural style rather well.

    Geez i hate it when people say they have a source but refuse to pass on any information.

    You should have just kept to yourself that you are keeping something to yourself.

    Or did you?

    Im confused........................................

    He's been dropped because he's not good enough.

    We were never interested in Tomlinson in the past for good reason.

    He's wasn't what we needed and you know what, he's still not what we need.

    He's a vanilla footballer who doesn't find enough of the ball...nice athlete, average footballer.

    I sure hope we have more than Tomlinson (I hope we don't have him at all) up our sleeves otherwise we're f....,

    Damnit Man! You've ruined everything!  Our entire trade period has just fallen in a heap because you couldn't keep your mouth shut.  This is a Deesaster!

    I agree rjay, I've always thought the best trick in footy was getting the ball.  He doesn't.

    • 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.
