I reckon the notion that it’s a significant experiment is grossly overstated. How is it so different to the Gawn/Jackson combo?  

The media have hyped the hell out of it. Mostly because they are both AA and neither is a notable forward. I agree, it is not going to be the most significant factor. Based on what I saw against Richmond it is going to be out ball movement. I do think trying to take the 45 kick will open it up for us to use Gawn and Grundy more effectively as outlets.

    Tomlinson won’t be the difference if we win or lose, he’s one part of a team defence. 
    Go Demons!!!

    If we let Bulldogs in with a few easy goals i dont think our forwards minus Fritsch can kick a winning score.

    Geelong kicked over 100 p and still lost comfortably in the end.

    Are you suggesting if we let in a few easy goals it will be due to Tomlinson?

    Due to 'Melbourne Air' I cant smell anything.  Sinuses are totally blocked.  Feeels like a pencil rubber up each nostril.

    I can still yell Go Dees.

    Dontchya know, DZ… If a meteor collided with Earth tonight it would be due to Tomlinson. 

    Great now I have to take a bulldog supporter with me and a cocky 14 year old boy at that fml

    I remember a lot of h8 for Lever as when he was returning from his knee.....lot of knockers. I dont think ppl understand the confidence side of injury rehab. Can take a while.

    Disagree. We've all seen what Pickett can do when he's at his best. And 2021 showed that Brown and Tmac can be very damaging when they're both fit.

    This is so true, WWS! This is oftentimes more important than the physical healing. The power of confidence is immeasurable. So it’s also why we all need to get behind Tommo. Give him all the love he deserves and NEEDS.

    I've got the same issue. A lot of the time I can't smell anything.

    Apart from the sweet smell of victory of course!

    I think we can cover Viney and Fritsch and I'm not sure Salem is best 22 after last years performances but May is a massive loss. Have no faith in Tomlinson hoping to be proven wrong and happy to give an apology after the game if he does his job.

    Before Tomlinson went down the knee on 2021 he was playing CHB with aplomb!

    We know he’s only in the team due to injuries but let’s give the support tonight because trying to contain Naughton is going to take a Herculean effort.

    The weather is wild. It’s like 9000 degrees with a gale force wind. Good luck kicking goals 🫠

    Well if it's windy the Dogs might have issues with all the set shots they'll be expected to take on our 'no name' backline.

    • 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?
