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. 

when they keep drafting spuds and then replace them with spuds, no, they can't win. Tomlinson is garbage. And has been all finals. We need the complete opposite of him.

The Giants were no chance today, all just a media beat up it was going to be close.

 Easy comment to make now.

His first half confirms he is a very ordinary player and GWS football management won’t spend a minute trying to retain him because they’ll be happy to free up his salary.  The golden rule should be that if their Club doesn’t fight to retain them, walk away.

Completely wrong way to look at it when many of us would not have recruited the NQRs you mentioned in the first place.

Taking Tomlinson and paying him the rumoured salary would be so Melbourne

Because we do not have a good culture or mature coaching we always go the mediocre, safeish option. Tigers backed their culture with Pickett.

We are not the most enticing club to come to right now. Tomlinson is about the best we can do right now. 

How do you sell a team that finishes 2nd bottom, has no real place to call home, survives on the coat tails of the past and doesn't have any fight off the field let alone on it.

This thread was always going to go this way once the Tigers were 5 goals up.

 

 

Yep no surprises there.  Death, taxes and nuffies.

From what i have seen over the past few weeks, he definitely won't be in our best 10 players' and yet it seems we are going to be paying him a fortune.

God i hope we are able to bring in Ben King to give us at least something decent out of this wretched year.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    POSTGAME: Practice Match vs Fremantle

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
