Yes its not a flashy signing. It might be a bit Vanilla but its of lower risk.

- Has been durable, playing the last 80 games for GWS (bar the one on the weekend)

- Will be able to run out games with his elite endurance (something a lot of our players have not done well)

- His size gives us a marking option further up the ground so our forwards aren't stuck on the wings as often

- Loves to run and spread, a catalyst for something GWS do so well and something we desperately need

- Has played finals four years in a row. Was close to best on ground in the prelim against Richmond in 2017

- He can pinch hit in the ruck so our forwards don't have to and has played both back and fwd if needed. True utility

 

If the rumors are true I for one am very keen to see this guy cementing a spot in our side on the wing and playing consistent footy for us. He's a solid mark and has decent inside/rebound 50 numbers across his career. He played in a very deep side for his position at GWS and he could really add what this side is in need of.

If there is a better free agent out there that we are not already chasing, please let me know.

Otherwise, Just do it.

The fact that he has been good enough to retain his place for 80 out of a possible 81 games in a team as strong as the giants, including a number of finals, makes him a class above a large number on our current list.

Surely it’s a no-brainer.

interesting comment..

no idea which is better but I suspect salary cap and term of contract wise you may not be too far off the mark.

After paying overs salary wise for Tom Mac and Brayshaw last year we're not as flush as some may think. Then again no club is.

Hawks , Geelong and Richmond have an inbuilt benefit because they are seen as real premiership chances and players will take say 10% less to be there.I expect the same goes for WA born players playing for WC.


A big body who can move around the ground and also give us options up forward/in the ruck - a handy inclusion! Not a big name signup, but we can't bring in just stars (we can't afford them, and be honest, given our head mess of a club, why would anyone want to join us if they're looking for glory!?)

Will be pleased if this eventuates.

Frost replacement?

Slight jump of the gun. Frosts management today being quoted saying MFC stating he is a 'required player' at Melbourne and contract talks have been positive. I imagine its more about fitting him in financially more than anything.

To answer your question IF Frost were to leave then no Tomlinson would not be his replacement. Plays his best football through the middle of the ground on a wing. He has helped out in other positions down back, forward and ruck but plays best in space with his elite running.

I doubt it, he was tried in defence and it was arguably his worst position.

Are you actually joking? Or is this a serious suggestion that if you had to choose, you'd take Frost?

There's some amazing nonsense on this thread.

Let's assume bringing him in doesn't kill our salary cap space (which, given he's almost a direct swap for Lewis and Garlett, it couldn't possibly). 

Is he better than any of ANB, either of the Wagners, JKH, Lockhart, Dunkley or some of the other fringe players regularly getting games with us?

Of course he is. It's an utter no-brainer. If he's a walk up start at GWS, he sure as he is a walk up start for us.

Really not sure about Tomlinson after watching him tonight, doesn’t do enough.

He was dropped last week after how many summers? 

 

Perhaps he told GWS he was leaving the nest

Tomlinson doesnt set the world on fire, but he's a servicable player. It's easy to cherry pick games

Hasnt played in 2 weeks. Wouldnt judge him on one performance. Played 20 games this year ina stacked team, would think that says enough regardless of tonight.

Also, only played 56% of game time - injured?

Played 20 games in a team riddled with injury.

I would think it says nothing either way...

Tonight he was ineffective and a bit of a lump.  Probably get a closer look next week.

This must be a joke.  Not anywhere near Frost.   Tomlinson was poor to average tonight.  Would want to show something v Pies next week

Don't forget to look at the state of our own backyard before worrying too much about the state of next door's roses...

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
