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.

    Have paid attention to this guy since the interest in him started.

    Like every other Giants player put there, is being overawed by the occasion.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
