Could he play the Aaron Vandenberg role?    Hard to see AVB playing again, though maybe the new fitness boss Darren Burgess can revive him.

Cant help it...he's  just slightly  more than another NQR hopeful. 

Would fit in perfectly  well with current  mfc.

And  that's why I  don't want him.

I think an ‘NQR hopeful’ is a bit harsh BB. He’s played 24 games this season for GWS and is a good chance to play on the weekend in a Granny. Perhaps the argument will be that GWS can afford to carry him whereas we can’t, regardless I still think at AFL level you wouldn’t play 24 games in a season if you were NQR.

You're right, we should be going after Fyfe, Dangerfield, Kelly x2 etc. If we don't land any of these it's a(nother) complete failure by the MFC

It's a ridiculous comment, really. Just a bit of MFCSS from Bubs.

I've been thinking about this one a bit and he'd be very handy rotating from wing to high half forward, his height makes him a serious threat, playing on guys like Gaff if they aren't accountable he could become a serious offensive weapon drifting forward. 

Not fast enough on what I've seen to mind Gaffp

He’s a valuable player simply because he’s versitile, strong, mature and consistent. 

Having players like that mean you can shift them from role to role as injuries take their toll on various parts of the ground while maintaining team balance and cohesion. 

One issue (flaw) with several of our mids is they struggle to impact outside the midfield, so limit our flexibility to move them about. 

Tomlinson will be good for us.

Sounds like ANB who likeTomlinson is also quick and flexible. 

I hope Tomlinson offers a lot more than an ANB upgrade especially as we are keeping ANB.

Is he better than the Wagner's? Stretch? JKH? ANB? Frost? OMac?

If so it's a no brainer.

Well ‘our boy’ is named on the bench.  D’landers can voice their opinions ad nauseam of his performance post the GF.  Whether GWS win or lose, his experience will be valuable to his next employer.

I was being facetious.  The ANB like attributes listed for Tomlinson made him sound very vanilla.

I agree he is much better than all those mentioned.

I don't watch enough gws games to have an informed opinion about Tomlinson. I'll back in our recruiting team to make the right call. 

But some of the comparisons and ratings on this thread are laughable. He has played almost every game for the giants for the last four years. In that time they have played finals every year, made 3 prelims and now a GF. And he has played all of them. 

Wh aa t does that say about his ability? Or maybe people think he us a coaches favorite or has photos

The same posters who bag Tomlinson and our decision to bring him in also whinge about us playing ANB, the brothers Wagner and OMac. The club can’t win.

Have paid attention to this guy since the interest in him started. 

Haven’t seen anything that makes me want him.

Himmelberg available?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
