Missed a set shot from 35 at a crucial time. He’s going to fit right in.

[Demon Disciple 12,063]

Thought he played well as the game went on. His versatility will be valuable.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,679]

He will be a handy edition, was a magnet to the ball in the 3rd.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Thought he was pretty good today. Worked hard, and was always there or thereabouts. Also battled well against Grundy in the ruck when Mumford was off.

I know the wing has been mentioned, but to me he seems better suited to a high half forward role, and rucking when the ball is forward.

Every kick I've seen this quarter has been shocking (3 of them)

Had good work rate and battles on. Solid versatile type. 

But missed the shot and had a few turnovers.  Best position??  Mobile ruck???? Backup ruck??? CHB ?? Wing - no way !!!!!!

Better than Frosty.  Not on watching him in the last 2 weeks.

workrate is outstanding

his disposal will fit right in with the majority of his teammates

He also looks like a big unit to which is another positive.

Journeyman footballer who will fit nicely into our style of play.

How can he be a 'journeyman' if he has only ever played for one club?

[godees 858]

Played his role really well today. Outstanding workrate. Kicking was hit and miss. He'll be a good pickup, without being outstanding.

[DeeSpencer 25,438]

A couple of his kicks were ok but he was let down by team mates not attacking the ball. He would've hit Cameron on the [censored] but he eased up and tried to chest mark it.

I'm more worried that he's just going to struggle to crash in for the ball and jump up and tackle, chase etc at his size on the wing than I am about his disposal.

Put up a very honest effort in the ruck.

As long as he's a utility getting paid towards the bottom of the 22 I'm happy to have him. If we're expecting more we're going to be disappointed.

Exactly.

Stays on the park too, hasn't missed a game for four year through injury i don't think.

well, there it is, ladies and germs - tomlinson will not play a game in 2020

[jumbo returns 6,737]

Not sure he'll be an upgrade - besides, what if he wins a Granny medal and decides to stay?

I don’t think that’s the issue; it’s GWS finding room in the salary cap to keep him.

Gee I hope we dont get rid of Frost only just to use Tomlinson in defence. 

Agree!!

We won't. We'll get rid of Frosty and then play Tomlinson anywhere but defence.

[Garbo 1,517]

Feels like they will use him in a similar role to Pederson who we have sorely missed since his retirement

Yesterdays final and the one against the Lions showed he shouldnt be playing down in defence. Looked much better in and around the ball when competing against Grundy or back of the stoppage when along the wing.

Genuinely seems like he can play any position on the park. Was soundly beaten by Grundy’s hitout game in the ruck but laid some crucial tackles and made some good clearances around contests. Pederson’s flexibility was a massive help to the team

Not many blokes leave after playing in a GF. Wonder if Giants will resign him now.

Workrate will be a big plus and good for others in the playing group to see.

I thought he was good today in the conditions which didn't allow for quality disposal.

I'm seeing a fair bit of flexibility in him, Pedersens replacement, hard working link up player
