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.

    Journeyman footballer who will fit nicely into our style of play.

    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

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
