WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ADAM TOMLINSON

[dazzledavey36 54,947]

Jack Newnes make sense. And I truly hope that @Dee tention isn't making this up for [censored] and giggles.

Newness would add experience body but also high leadership qualities. Was inducted into leadership group at 21 years old.

This has Alan Richardson influence written all over it if true.

i refuse to believe boak or edwards will leave their clubs

if we were to get elliott and tomlinson that'd be good; of this list newnes or possibly masten (or dickson?) would be next cabs off the ranks but...underwhelming

Tomlinson will be a good get for us.

Why?

We've got enough players who can't find a position and can't find the ball.

Why get another one?

That’s the only player I can come up with the clue given.

Who will he replace, and how will it make us a better side?

I'll have a crack at this. As a wingman (specifically), he could replace just about anyone that's played (and failed) there this year. This includes Lewis, Jones, Brayshaw, Hunt, Baker, Stretch, ANB, JKH, TMac.

I'm not saying we're getting a gun, not by any stretch. But we get him for nothing and as long as we don't pay too much for him or give him a contract into his 30's we're getting at worst an upgrade on our dwindling depth. He would have to be on peanuts at GWS with that star-studded list.

We could also use his versatility to play forward or back. Hell, he couldn't have been worse than Hibberd in the backline if fed the ball and used as a distributor.

The added run appeals.

Langdon on one wing and him on the other would be orright!

[Mickey 4,684]

Basil--Jamie Oliver--Jamie Elliot?

[Ethan Tremblay 30,861]

Basil > Margherita Pizza > Italian > Paul Puopolo 

[DemonLad5 1,642]

A handy point

Carlton and St Kilda respectively have come hard for Tomlinson while he's been contracted the last 3 seasons

Both were willing to deal picks 8-12 from memory. He's a good player

Looks good in a Dees jumper.

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Ellis yolman is handy player.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in the red and blue next year.

Is he still uncontracted?

Except me.  My jumper mysteriously keeps shrinking and getting tighter every season.
