    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

    A TDK tape of the 1989 Panasonic cup?

    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.

    I agree, dazzler.  Ham is struggling to get a game with Essendon.  I don't see how he'd be of any help to us.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
