Missed a set shot from 35 at a crucial time. He’s going to fit right in.

    Thought he was pretty good today. Worked hard, and was always there or thereabouts. Also battled well against Grundy in the ruck when Mumford was off.

    I know the wing has been mentioned, but to me he seems better suited to a high half forward role, and rucking when the ball is forward.

    Every kick I've seen this quarter has been shocking (3 of them)

    Had good work rate and battles on. Solid versatile type. 

    But missed the shot and had a few turnovers.  Best position??  Mobile ruck???? Backup ruck??? CHB ?? Wing - no way !!!!!!

    Better than Frosty.  Not on watching him in the last 2 weeks.

    He also looks like a big unit to which is another positive.

    Played his role really well today. Outstanding workrate. Kicking was hit and miss. He'll be a good pickup, without being outstanding.

    A couple of his kicks were ok but he was let down by team mates not attacking the ball. He would've hit Cameron on the [censored] but he eased up and tried to chest mark it.

    I'm more worried that he's just going to struggle to crash in for the ball and jump up and tackle, chase etc at his size on the wing than I am about his disposal.

    Put up a very honest effort in the ruck.

    As long as he's a utility getting paid towards the bottom of the 22 I'm happy to have him. If we're expecting more we're going to be disappointed.

    Exactly.

    Stays on the park too, hasn't missed a game for four year through injury i don't think.

    Not sure he'll be an upgrade - besides, what if he wins a Granny medal and decides to stay?

     

    I don’t think that’s the issue; it’s GWS finding room in the salary cap to keep him.

    We won't. We'll get rid of Frosty and then play Tomlinson anywhere but defence.

    Feels like they will use him in a similar role to Pederson who we have sorely missed since his retirement

    Yesterdays final and the one against the Lions showed he shouldnt be playing down in defence. Looked much better in and around the ball when competing against Grundy or back of the stoppage when along the wing.

    Genuinely seems like he can play any position on the park. Was soundly beaten by Grundy’s hitout game in the ruck but laid some crucial tackles and made some good clearances around contests. Pederson’s flexibility was a massive help to the team

    Not many blokes leave after playing in a GF. Wonder if Giants will resign him now.

    Workrate will be a big plus and good for others in the playing group to see.

    I thought he was good today in the conditions which didn't allow for quality disposal.

    I'm seeing a fair bit of flexibility in him, Pedersens replacement, hard working link up player

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
