Could he play the Aaron Vandenberg role?    Hard to see AVB playing again, though maybe the new fitness boss Darren Burgess can revive him.

    Cant help it...he's  just slightly  more than another NQR hopeful. 

    Would fit in perfectly  well with current  mfc.

    And  that's why I  don't want him.

    I think an ‘NQR hopeful’ is a bit harsh BB. He’s played 24 games this season for GWS and is a good chance to play on the weekend in a Granny. Perhaps the argument will be that GWS can afford to carry him whereas we can’t, regardless I still think at AFL level you wouldn’t play 24 games in a season if you were NQR.

    You're right, we should be going after Fyfe, Dangerfield, Kelly x2 etc. If we don't land any of these it's a(nother) complete failure by the MFC

    It's a ridiculous comment, really. Just a bit of MFCSS from Bubs.

    I've been thinking about this one a bit and he'd be very handy rotating from wing to high half forward, his height makes him a serious threat, playing on guys like Gaff if they aren't accountable he could become a serious offensive weapon drifting forward. 

    Not fast enough on what I've seen to mind Gaffp

    I think he will be a good pick up. He is not a star but if he can replace someone in our starting 22 then what harm could it do. I believe we need to keep turning the list over till we get it right.

    He’s a valuable player simply because he’s versitile, strong, mature and consistent. 

    Having players like that mean you can shift them from role to role as injuries take their toll on various parts of the ground while maintaining team balance and cohesion. 

    One issue (flaw) with several of our mids is they struggle to impact outside the midfield, so limit our flexibility to move them about. 

    Tomlinson will be good for us.

    Sounds like ANB who likeTomlinson is also quick and flexible. 

    I hope Tomlinson offers a lot more than an ANB upgrade especially as we are keeping ANB.

    Is he better than the Wagner's? Stretch? JKH? ANB? Frost? OMac?

    If so it's a no brainer.

    Well ‘our boy’ is named on the bench.  D’landers can voice their opinions ad nauseam of his performance post the GF.  Whether GWS win or lose, his experience will be valuable to his next employer.

    I was being facetious.  The ANB like attributes listed for Tomlinson made him sound very vanilla.

    I agree he is much better than all those mentioned.

    I don't watch enough gws games to have an informed opinion about Tomlinson. I'll back in our recruiting team to make the right call. 

    But some of the comparisons and ratings on this thread are laughable. He has played almost every game for the giants for the last four years. In that time they have played finals every year, made 3 prelims and now a GF. And he has played all of them. 

    Wh aa t does that say about his ability? Or maybe people think he us a coaches favorite or has photos

    The same posters who bag Tomlinson and our decision to bring him in also whinge about us playing ANB, the brothers Wagner and OMac. The club can’t win.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
