    Brilliant strategy of trading in 2 players who are coming off long term injuries. If Bruce is only on our books for 1 year, then a straight swap for Tomlinson is ok. But if we extend his contract then we've lost the plot. 

    Bring back Josh Mahoney.

    Pinch hitter with presumably salary benefits if it’s a Tomlinson swap. 
    Giant no deal if there is a salary impost back to Bulldogs.

    Contrary to others this could be a master stroke. He like Tommo needs time and training to get over the ACL. Upside if he does snd good kick to Tommo with the ups and downs of Bevo.

    If Bruce doesn't go well up forward  could play CHB maybe.  
     

    Interesting to see if any payment for 2 years of Tommo contact of $500,000. 

    Something out of nothing !!

    Fills a need at Casey with Mitch Brown retiring. 

    That is what I was thinking if fit he could fill a role for us, seemed to kick a few goals for Saints and Dogs, 197cm, 97kg averages 1.5 goals perfect replacement for Mitch and has a bit of mongrel in him.

    Didn't hear it myself, but pretty sure it came from a caller and Cal Twomey said something along the lines of 'have heard it, haven't been able to confirm it'.

    Of course Josh Bruce could be on a  'pathfinder' mission for Naughton.

    I have it on good authority that on top of the medical he was asked to answer a multiple choice question.

    I'm pleased to inform D'landers that my sauce (whose identity i am unfortunately not at liberty to reveal) gave me exclusive access to the question asked which i present for your reading pleasure below...

     

    ...."You are playing a KF role starting deep in the goal square.  However, Big Maxy has decided to push forward and drop into the hole at the top of the square.  You recognise the situation (ie; too many talls/opponents).  You are also under instruction to make space for Max to be able to either make a short lead or if he has a mis-match, for him to stay home in the square for a relatively easy contested 1 v 1 mark from a dumped bomb out of the middle.

    Do you"...

    A)  Lead hard to the left pocket/flank (along with 1 or 2 others, including Max!) knowing you have about a 1 in 5 chance of converting should you out mark a pack of 5 to 7 players?

    B)  Lead straight up the guts drawing your opponent to about 30 meters, feign as if doubling back but instead push off your opponent putting in a hard but short lead for a hit up option knowing you have a very high likelihood of converting from about 45 out either directly in front or on a slight angle?

    C)  Lead hard to the right pocket/flank (along with 1 or 2 others, including Max!) knowing you have about a 1 in 5 chance of converting should you out mark a pack of 5 to 7 players?

    Apparently he chose the only correct options (A & C) and they are finalising the trade papers as we speak.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
