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.

Source?

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.

Perhaps you've said too much already DeeZee!

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.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
