WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ADAM TOMLINSON

I haven't been a Tomlinson fan post his ACL, but you could see that his presence allows for Lever and May to fly for contested marks.

But more importantly, our list profile would start to look dire if we lost Hibberd, Melksham, Grundy, Dunstan, Tomlinson, BBB, T Mac all in one hit. 

I totally understand why the club deem Tomlinson as a required player.

It's like how we got Oscar Allen for Jayden Hunt last year ...

Maybe the penny has dropped at MFC

Hope to see Tomlinson as regular starting KPD especially if Petty's somewhat successful experimental swingman thing turns into a regular event

I'm not Tommo's biggest fan. Reckon his form has been patchy this season. Pushed TDK in the back for carltons 2nd goal. Lost him for the first goal. Trailed behind his man most of the night. Slow and immobile. I understand we need the 3rd tall to free up Lever but can disco play this role instead?

If that’s a push in the back I give up on football. 

Agree 100% - one of several times when the Blues conned the maggots.

On what planet would we trade Petty for McAdam? One is out of contract and 28 years old. One is contracted for TWO MORE YEARS and is a 23 year old key position star. 

I suggest Tomlinson staying is more to do with Petty playing forward permanently and us needing another experienced big bodied defender. We would get absolute peanuts for Tomlinson which is a crying shame. He has a role to play. 

He also played some ruck at GWS which might be handy now Grundy is gone

Schache is the obvious option in the short term for that until Verral comes on (If he does).

That's the reason i figured he was re-signed.  Security in the short term for Max and occasional chop out late in a game if played as sub.

At least that's what i thought until Friday night.
