Someone will give a pick between 12 and 20 for him.

Not suggesting he'd be a straight swap  for De Koning, but the blues might be good fit for Tomo.

They need some key defenders and realistically Tomo is going to struggle to get into our back six.

The blues looked like they are tying to implement the goal keeper system we use and given Tomo has played in our defensive system, and in the gola keeper role too, he'd help the blues implement that system. 

As I posted earlier. Good to see we think alike.

ah maybe, but you know what someone is worth is not always what someone will pay

De koning would be a perfect fit ... am always happy to pay overs in that scenario ... while l would also like Grundy, he is a good fit not a perfect fit due to his advanced years and likely want to play more ruck minutes ... we can then invest more of the left over trade picks and coin for LJ into a forward line issues

Every player under 25yo in the top 25 of that list would easily nett at least a first rounder.

That would be a steal. But I reckon he ends up playing with his brother . Geelong just gets things done. 

they grew up as blues fans iirc

He looks very good for sure but i would rather try to make a big splash on a King brother, Mckay etc. Someone with proven ability. Henry more a fall back option

Yeh thats fine.  But they aren't available.  Henry is.  And at half the price.  I'd Love  King a FF or a McKay,  but it's not gonna happen.

Don't think you could play all three of them without a second genuine tall/resting ruck set up. whilst henry and fritta are good overhead if you put bodywork into them they lose their explosiveness and the reason they are so dangerous as forwards is because they get matchups that favour them in terms of size/height

Oliver can Play as a second Tall.  Played FF in the games he has played for Coll and showed he can do it.  And only at 20.  190cm  is a good height and as he gets bigger he can become a beast.  He is built very different to Fritsch and will be alot bigger.  Can see him becoming a Mihocek type.

Weitering 196cm, Young 201cm and Marchbank 193cm would be their preferred kpd's. Add in McGovern at 191cm.

Ploughman 193 is their backup. Kemp 193 is the other who should get some game time.

I just can't see it personally. Tomlinson would go to the Blues and be at the same spot in the pecking order that he is with us.

Bulldogs would be the choice for him in my opinion.

Brayden Ham from the Bombers is reportedly looking at his options. With "vic rivals interested".

https://www.afl.com.au/news/832727/roos-open-to-offers-on-no-1-pick-out-of-favour-bomber-seeks-trade

We have had interest previously. Wouldn't be surprised if we are asking the question again.

I would be very surprised.

He's not that good and I'd much prefer we put time into our back up wingers in Woewodin and Howes.

Hang on. You want Oliver Henry because the Kings and McKay aren't available? Nevermimd the fact he's not a KPF. What a bizarre post.

Personally think that's being overly generous - a very big NO

We showed interest in Ham before his move to Essendon didn't we? And he chose them and now can't get a game. See ya later.

I'd say we will be pretty keen to replace Majak with ready made ruck depth.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
