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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
