Tomlinson was having a very good season in the role of the team’s third defensive tall when disaster struck in the form of an ACL injury at Blundstone Arena in Round 7. He should be back early in 2022.

    2022 is going to be very interesting for a number of players as we try to squeeze 30 top players into 23 spots. A great problem to have but I would hate to be on the selection committee. Good luck Adam it is great to have players of your quality in the group.💕❤️💙

    Was playing his best footy ever before his injury. Deserved to play in a Gf. Hope hes on the mend and gets a grand final birth in 2022.

    Will never forget the vision of Adam sitting on the bench, inconsolable. Crying the way a player cries when they know it’s a definite season-ending injury. It was truly heartbreaking. I look forward to seeing him pick up right where he left off, ie, in great form. 🤞🏼

    Was great til injured can't see who he replaces next year unless there is an injury

    I'd think he'd be competing for the half back role that Hibberd played in the GF, along with Hunt, Smith and Bowey.

    Per ACL, Tommlinson's fitness was elite.  I remember that first practice match or two he played for us when he first joined and was on an opposite wing to Lingers and the amount of distance they covered over the game was around the same, which is saying something.  Got to find a way to utilize that run if it's still there.

    People need to remember we had a charmed run with injuries this year.

    It's great we have depth because  we can't expect the low injury numbers to go on ad infinitum.

    Tommo is a flexible player and can play multiple positions. Looking forward to his return

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
