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

Agree, handy 3rd forward or back that can also play through the wing. 

CHB would suit him IMO.

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

    Will he play though? He came in this week and 3 will have to go out if Greene, Whitfield and Coniglio play.

    Less injury prone and an upgrade on players we’ve already and probably going to delist. Additionally, we don’t have to trade for him.

    Well if they win, they'll take displace us as the most recent team to win a grand final from 6th (in 1900).

    26 years old and a restricted free agent.  Drafted in 2011 so 8 years on the GWS list by trading time.

    Approximately half our list isn't up to it (or unproven) and if our only cost is salary cap space then we acquire him if he wants to come to us. 

    We can get 5-6 years of football out of the bloke and we get to add another decent player to the list.  Do it times 3 if other restricted free agents are available.  Why stop at one?  Our list needs an injection of talent. 

    Think of Tomlinson as replacing a player who we're going to delist anyway.  It's a no-brainer really.

    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.

    And that's the issue. He will be paid very well.

    It Tomlinson lands here, Preuss must be traded.

     

    Preuss and Melbourne would both be crazy if Preuss is in the red and blue next year anyway.  Good solid no.1 ruckman for Geelong or GWS, but a liability forward.

    Plus from my understanding, he enjoys training with Maxy. I think our press release around him last year was a bit of a faux pas in that we've actually got him to not only be a back up if Maxy goes down but to also eventually take over in a couple of years when Maxy's output may decline and Preuss is in his prime.

    Agree.

    Most sides have 2-3 ruckman on the list.

    We have 2 and a developing 3rd. By the time Bradtke is ready, if he gets there,  Max will be in his 30's.

    Tomlinson is not a ruckman, he is a swingman.

    And Hamling only slipped into the side after injuries to others, much like Tomlinson.

    Happy with that.....even better if we delisted O-Mac in the process

    O-Mac TGR.  Tomlinson as a swingman can handle that role (couldn't be any worse) with aplomb in comparison if we get desperate through injury.

    Pruess is still handy in thr ruck if Max is having a break for a week or so.  A great 'managed' go to for Max especially late into a long season.

    Tomlinson played a total of 80 out of 81 games before finals. Not sure someone could have slipped into the side if they've been there for all of 3 seasons...

    I didn’t mean it in a negative way, I’m a fan. But he was out of the 22 until injuries arrived. Moreso mentioning it as a reason why he would be looking at his options and whether staying would be in his best interests, flag or otherwise.

    Tomlinson is better than our bottom 6-8 in the best 22 we have at the moment i think, therefor,e if you can make that group stronger you do it.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
