Tom Brown just said we are offically linked to him as is St Kilda and Bulldogs.

- Also said its Hawthorn and the Dees are 2 clubs linked to Brad Hill.

-Ed langdon also linked to the Dees.

Looks like we'll be busy come trade time! I like it!

 

Hawthorn linked to him is very bad news. Wouldn't surprise me if Clarko has done the scumbag Croad move and sent Hill away for 2 years in order to get one of the picks required for that O'Meara trade at the time, before welcoming him back.

Stats aren’t too great but gets a game for gws so must be decent. 

If he is quick with a huge tank he will be looked at. But I am not sure of his kicking skills. Anyone?

[Dee tention 611]

If we have Pick 3. I think we trade it for Hill and Langdon. Pull the trigger on that one...

And we definitely go for Tomlinson to play back with ‘May Day’ and ‘Lever to Beaver’. Versatile player! He would be a great get.

I want Frost to stay.

Had his best year with us and can get better.

Saved a stack of goals this year and if he can eliminate a couple of mistakes a game, he is a very valuable player for us.

His speed is the thing for me, he mitigates one of our big weaknesses down there in leg speed, i think the more games that he, may and Lever play together the better Frost will get.

No way he is leaving North for the Kangas.

Now that Coniglio is signed up I'm sure Tomlinson will be on the way out (just not enough $), given he's a free agent and won't need a trade he's well worth a look. I do think the giants play him out of position, I'd be trying to turn him into a Tom Lynch from Adelaide, a far roam high half froward (not really a 3rd tall and not really a wingman). Plus he has the potential to back up in the ruck as well, not for huge stretches of the game but to give Max a little rest.

I'd do that... but it sounds like Hill is a fair way down the track with the Saints, who are throwing large amounts of cash at him to get him to sign.  I can understand that with Jack Steven potentially going down to Geelong, but it also means it prices us out of the market.

Langdon will have to do, but I'm happy with that.

Stuff Ralph, Morris, Robbo, Edmund etc, you are the best news breaker by a mile.

Yea i agree swly.

Goodwin wont survive with this squad he needs to make moves

 

That is an interesting and very possible circumstance with such strengths in the recruitment qualities.

Go nuts for free agents imo

good idea but the better ones come at a price.

If we can land Langdon and Tomlinson plus use pick 3 and 20 on young players I for one will be very happy with the outcome of this trading period.

I see no reason to trade for Langdon which will send Freo into apoplexy but we need to play tough if we are going to get out of this eternal rut the club seems to find itself in.

If we need salary cap space I would consider trading Brayshaw butI live in hope we can see that late 2018 form again...boy was he good !!

[Lord Travis 10,141]

Big yes from me. We’ve had a crack at him before, so clearly rate him. 

We never pick up free agents, only lose them. Instead we trade and harm our picks. Time to start loading up on free agents.

Tomlinson is durable, has good running power, is tall and versatile. I’d offer him 600k and play him as a lead up tall forward.

Especially when you’re crap. 

[GetJonnoPatton 15]

Tomlinson is overrated. Doesn’t solve the outside class issue, nor the key forward issue.

No thanks.

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,150]

Tomlinson is a walk-up start to our best 22.

I am happy to go after any available player that makes our team better.

yep...hasn't worked well for North.

Hopefully they believe the 2019 was an aberration line. ?

Especially when they don't cost 2 first rounders or a top pick in likely the best draft ever, and aren't borderline obese and unprofessional/haven't done an ACL already.

No no and no. Both coming of career best seasons I can see this blowing up in our face. Different team different structures.

Would love Tomlinson on the opposing wing to Langdon. Running machine with good skills and we'd get him for free

And with his height and marking he offers an alternate kick in option. Max on one flank, tomlinson the other with a kpf in the guts. Opens the whole ground up. Port ripped us a new one a few years back with the same setup.

[DemonLad5 1,637]

Someone on Bigfooty said a source has told him that Tomlinson will be a Dee? Not sure who his source would be
