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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
