Sam Murray is being looked at to address our outside run. I’m not sure what role we’re looking at for Tomlinson but highly doubt it’s the wing.

Backline to replace Frost.

Very much into Murray as you've mentioned too.

Mahoney said in a interview he is being brought in to play wing, which imo is his best position 

Tomlinson has been told he's being brought in to play wing...

Whether that ends up being the case who knows but that's the position we've targeted him for.

Howe was brought in to C/Wood to play forward and...things change.

That's what Mahoney has said publicly, sure, but I've heard different so I'm not locking that in.

Wait and see hey.

Not sure what position we'll play him but you can bet your bottom dollar he will be playing relief ruckman for Max instead of Weid and TMac. Take that to the bank.

One wonders whether Preuss is then doomed to life at Casey and he still has two years to go on his contract.

Despite the fact that I wanted them to trial the two ruckman I always thought Preuss was brought in as an insurance policy on the chance Max went down with an injury. 

 With a full complement to play with I don’t think the FD factors Preuss into the team. With Tomlinson joining this virtually guarantees Preuss will be biding his time at Casey.

Tomlinson was a key forward at under 18s with elite endurance  

194cms 96 kg 

No one should say he is being brought in for outside run.  He’s a key position player.  

I think people are confounding the need for pace, when you play on the wing, vs outside run from stoppages.

Best wingman this year (not the AFL AA version)... bloody Mitch Robinson...

Someone already posted it early this year.. this article is a fascinating read on how to play wing in 2019, and what the expected requirements are...

https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/mitch-robinson-why-allaustralian-panel-made-a-mockery-of-players-by-not-selecting-genuine-wingmen/news-story/9e0d4e49d1770d54788d0a2174461cef

Some key points from Mitch on how he viewed traditional wingman...

I think some current posters, still hold this view.

Before this year, my perspective on what attributes are required for a winger would be what most of the AFL community probably thinks, that they:

— Hate the contested football

— Are extremely fit

— Probably weigh about 70 to 80kg

— Are a great ball-user and can run the 3km time trial in less than 10 minutes

Thanks for listening mate. I appreciate not having to listen to that tripe myself.

I wonder how long the contract is

3 years i hope

Edited by Sir Why You Little


I loved the big bodied VDB playing the wing, hunting and hurting opposition player, so like this move of Tomlinson, who while not as quick as VDB has endurance and presence.

Welcome aboard!!!

Richmond got end of 2nd comp pick (#39) for Ellis and he is reportedly on $600k pa for 5 years.  So Tomlinson would have to be in the same range to get the same comp pick #40


Happy with this.

Best 15 easily so an upgrade on a few other blokes and he can play multiple roles.

Makes the team better immediately.

Welcome aboard Adam, thanks for signing with us, you will find that we are a Great Club to be at, and just a tip,  stay off Demonland if you put in a poor effort..................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 years.

I would prefer 3, keep ‘em hungry

but we do have to pay overs to get deals done at this stage

A versatile, top 15 player that costs nothing other than salary. That's a tick from me!

  • 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.
