Because their club knows they are leaving and have isolated them as a result?

Don't know...

I'm just looking forward to seeing what excitement the draft offers

    Yet, all this talk of top up players is not overly exciting

    Can we be more inventive? Find another Clarrie?

    I'm hoping we can do both. We need to be reasonably busy this offseason IMO, not over the top or 'scattergun', but more than just the one trade and one high pick. Bringing in a mix of trades, draftees and free agents will hopefully improve our list, especially our depth which got found out a bit this year.

    Couldnt agree more, it doesnt have to be wild and erratic signings just because, but be calculated, be a bit bold and use our position wisely. There is a great opportunity to find best 22 players and also upgrade depth which is just so important, i would argue you need 5/6 players who walk into the team if needed and can impact..

    did we have any this year?

    On face value, Tomlinson looks like a great fit - but, my alarm bells are thus: dropped for the first time in four years for Deledio??

    Is Tomlinson not considered the future?

    Just wary, thas' all....

    I think what would get the FD excited about Tomlinson is his running ability, he is a committed 2 way runner, and a hard worker, something we lacked this year.

    Im not sure why they went with an ageing Deledio and clearly one who was very vulnerable to injury, they are lucky they got away with it.

    It seems the reasons for Tomlinson’s absence last weekend weren’t necessarily form-related. 

    He’ll likely play against the Lions this weekend anyway, so we can all pay attention to him.

    This was my first thought when I read he was dropped, he played all 22 games, played well in round 23, and wasn’t injured.

    Yeah so from what I can gather, there’s speculation that GWS will have to turf a player at season’s end to accomodate a re-contracted Whitfield, and that player is Tomlinson. 

    Might’ve been a little ugly over there when word got out. So they played Deledio in his place and he got injured, so they’ll likely have to put AT back on the field (pending Deledio’s scans). 

    Awkward!

    But take what I say with a grain of salt. A lot of the time I really have no idea what I’m talking about. I’m just riffin’ here.

    Favourites to land him according to the Age.

    Not sure how I feel about it. He's certainly a better wing option than just having no one. But he doesn't bring pace or great skills and more than anything he's just very nice.

    Chaired off Deledio so that might put to rest any rumours of ill will. Probably one of the smarter and more professional guys around. Might end up in our leadership group. Might end up at Casey.

    Trusty Tom Browne seems to think we are the favourite. Interesting to hear Roosy on the couch think he's not what we need. 

    Roosy said he was surprised because he thought we should be targeting outside run.

    He may be right, but without the hindsight of knowing all the offseason moves it's pure speculation.

    Tom Brown cops a fair stick but he called this weeks ago before anyone.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
