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...

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
