I think this is a mistake. Frost will prove himself to be better than Tomlinson and Tomlinson will struggle just like he has at GWS.

What does getting Tomlinson have anything to do with Frost???

He's making way for Frost. I'd rather sign Frost than pick up an over priced second ruckman.

Versatility is what he brings. I think he’ll be called upon as a key forward or key back.  I think he could actually make a very good CHF with his endurance, strength, marking and he’s a very good kick.

Unbelievable!!!. How did you come to the conclusion that Frost is going for Tomlinson. You must be in love with Frost! I would like to keep Frost but this is a hard/ruthless game and sometimes players need to go. As far as I am concerned Tomlinson will be a big asset for us.

I'm talking about salary cap. Frost is forced out due to Langdon and Tomlinson. I'd keep Langdon but not Tomlinson.

No. Frost is told to look elsewhere because we don't want him anymore. Capiche?

We have the cap space if we wanted to pay Frost the $$$ he was asking. The money which was going towards Elliott could now be offered to Frost but quite simply he’s asking for overs

Actually, Frost hasn't been told to look elsewhere.  He's been told that if he wants more money that we've offered he will need to find it elsewhere.

Our team just got that little bit better.

No draft picks involved, and not massive coin.

Hasnt played a game for us yet, but im gonna go out on a limb and call it a win in advance.

Welcome to MFC Basil Tomlinson

Welcome aboard Adam, good to have a two way runner on board whose marking will assist with connection in transition and whose back up ruckwork has him as a Pedersen upgrade in terms of endurance

Do you know this for a fact? We don't want him on the list. It's as clear as daylight.

Anyway, I personally think this is a very good pick up. Perfect age at 26 years of old so will hopefully start to see the best of what he has to offer.

A few need to reserve judgement, I remember Jake Melksham copped it worse when we picked him up and he has been a very handy team player for our club.

Another thing no one has mentioned is that he was pick 10 in the 2011 national draft. So it's another 1st rounder that we have added to our list? Besides GWS and GC is this the most of any other team?

You might be correct. We are about to add another, potentially 2 if we split.

No excuses now with the talent on board. Have a good year with injury and I can easily see us climbing up the ladder suddenly again.

Gee fancy a top side like GWS letting  Tomlinson  'struggle'  through 144 games and 4 final series for them?

Melksham is a prime example of why you always need to hold fire in these situations.  We need to allow the players we bring in to fit into our system and play a few games before we tee off on them.  The club will never get it right all the time (no club does), but we need to actually see the bigger picture before we criticise the decision.

Interesting chat on Trade Radio this morning. Tomlinson was saying that it was Goody’s pitch to him that really impressed him when deciding on the Dees as his club of choice amongst the Saints and Dogs (cant wait for all the synics here to claim its 100% about the $$$). Also said he feels his best positions are within the midfield which from where I took it was on-ball, as well as on and center half back. However in an interview yesterday said that the club’s idea was to play him on the wing and in the forward line. Will be intersting to see where he fits in, although I’d like to see him sit in one position to find some stability and only move him if there’s a desperate need to fill a hole on gameday.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
