Jack Newnes make sense. And I truly hope that @Dee tention isn't making this up for [censored] and giggles.

Newness would add experience body but also high leadership qualities. Was inducted into leadership group at 21 years old.

This has Alan Richardson influence written all over it if true.

i refuse to believe boak or edwards will leave their clubs

if we were to get elliott and tomlinson that'd be good; of this list newnes or possibly masten (or dickson?) would be next cabs off the ranks but...underwhelming

Tomlinson will be a good get for us.

Why?

We've got enough players who can't find a position and can't find the ball.

Why get another one?

That’s the only player I can come up with the clue given.

Who will he replace, and how will it make us a better side?

I'll have a crack at this. As a wingman (specifically), he could replace just about anyone that's played (and failed) there this year. This includes Lewis, Jones, Brayshaw, Hunt, Baker, Stretch, ANB, JKH, TMac.

I'm not saying we're getting a gun, not by any stretch. But we get him for nothing and as long as we don't pay too much for him or give him a contract into his 30's we're getting at worst an upgrade on our dwindling depth. He would have to be on peanuts at GWS with that star-studded list.

We could also use his versatility to play forward or back. Hell, he couldn't have been worse than Hibberd in the backline if fed the ball and used as a distributor.

The added run appeals.

Langdon on one wing and him on the other would be orright!

A handy point

Carlton and St Kilda respectively have come hard for Tomlinson while he's been contracted the last 3 seasons

Both were willing to deal picks 8-12 from memory. He's a good player

Ellis yolman is handy player.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in the red and blue next year.

Is he still uncontracted?

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
