Schache?

Why would we give up a fringe tall for another fringe tall? Other than the contract amount. Schache isn't good enough at AFL level whereas Tomlinson is.

    An agility test must have been part of his fitness test. If we can't get Tomlinson off our books, can't see us doing anything major other than getting Grundy. No chance of absorbing the Bowes contract.

    Dogs probably wanted us to tip in some cash, negating the whole point, he’s on 300k more than a rookie pick who would replace him so not the difference in landing another player if we can defer for 2 years

    Bulldogs defence is atrocious. Strange they couldn't take Tomlinson. Would not be surprised if we had offered to sweeten the pie with a salary subsidy of 100k but still no taker... yet

    Tomlinson has 2 years to go at a media reported 500K a year. That is too much for a backup mainly playing VFL so the club would be keen to move him on and he'd be looking for options to play at AFL level.

    To me he is more a 3rd tall than a key position player. Odd though that he was not tried in Tommy Mac role at some point in 2022.

    The football media led by The Age is reporting two years to 2024.

    BUT

    The following show his contract is to 2023:

    • AFL Press Release at the time he transferred from GWS.
    • Footywire which is usually accurate.
    • The Contracts thread prepared by yours truly is almost never wrong 😉

    However, if anyone can find something more reliable than the football media great but until then its best to stick with one year to the end of 2023.

    I reckon one media person has said to 2024 and they have all jumped on the bandwagon!

    I’d think the Dogs know their defence needs improvement but wanted us also to absorb some of the contract.  They’ll need $$$ for Lobb but send potential  Dunkley $$$ away.

    They are also bringing in Liam Jones for nothing

    Yeah Tommo to the Dogs is nothing. Probably a smokescreen for something else.

    Maybe not. It might mean the Naughton deal was never a chance.

    Cordy signed with Saints, could open the door for Thommo?

    I actually think it closes the door on Thommo. Doubt that the Dogs will pursue him, and can't see too much interest from other clubs. 

    Either way, Tomlinson would be a salary dump by us, and we'd need to pay part of his salary and not expect anything in return.

    Cal Twomey said Tomlinson has 2 years to go on his contract and Deledio didn't correct him so I think that sounds the case - @Lucifers Hero

    They're actually in the hands of another club wanting Tomlinson, I'm sure we'd do the deal to free the cap.

    Delidio has never struck me as the most intelligent bloke. It's actually in your hands Brett if you come up with a suitor for him

    He is playing football during the season; if just happens to be vfl football when we have our full array of tall defenders available

    Unfortunately for Adam, no other club sees him as an afl level player anymore

    Thanks,

    AFL press releases on trades are usually accurate. 

    What I think has happened is that the club and Tomlinson have quietly renegotiated his contract giving him an extra year to the 4 originally and spreading the $ a bit more.  We did that last year with Lever, Gawn and a few others.

    In a way it makes Tomlinson slightly more attractive if the $ are less in the last two years not so much if we back ended it...

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
