Agree. DD36. He has good skills and poise. 
Just need the footy department and coach to show more faith and support. He allows Lever to be a 3rd tall and intercept defender which makes us look better each week.  
 

Ps. Still cannot believe umps got conned by the DeKoning swan dive in the first quarter!?!?! Matthew Lloyd would be proud of that fake. 

The Blues were flopping about all game - it’s a bad look and I don’t like it when our players do it.

Well it worked - they got the Joel Smith mark reversed

Good decision for 2024. I hope by the back half of the season, May is playing the Tomlinson lockdown role and someone like O'Sullivan is playing the second tall (Petty role) that frees up Lever and May to intercept. 

It gives us options with Turner too, depending on who we're playing. We probably need a lock strong lockdown option for a player like Dusty (ie a Hibbo replacement), so it doesn't all fall on McVee.

We have Tomlinson either in the best 22, or able to immediately step in and perform.

We have Daniel Turner who dominates VFL but may need another preseason to step right in.

We then have Jed Adams and Kye Turner developing in the VFL.  
I’ve heard very little about how these two have looked this year… anyone able to comment?

 

Jed shows good promise, had a good 2nd half of the year. Kye has had an injury interrupted year so there's no indication of what he can do.

They were argy bargy from the get go.

We dont have nearly enough mongrel .

We get dudded every single time.

No prizes for being nice


Tomlinson is needed if May goes down. Otherwise see him getting similar opportunities to this year.

No penalties for the golden child

Harrison Petty Coleman, put the house on it*

*Chances are, you're about to lose.

I like Tomlinson and am 100% convinced that both May and Lever do better when there's a third dedicated tall defender available.

Hibberd's retirement and Petty's apparent progress as a forward both suggest there will be more space available for a rugged defender.

10 1%ers, just one turnover, a solid contributor in the semi-final, and actually a remarkably consistent solid citizen when you consider how sporadic his inclusion has been.

Would be very happy to see him on the field for us in 2024 building some continuity and unity of mind with the defensive group, and see the results.


Petty has a fairly serious foot injury and his return is far from guaranteed. Tomlinson is an obvious choice for the backline just in case.

Why would he want to be a “break glass in case of emergency” player?

If he can get a regular game at another club, and a rival coach thinks he can add value, I’d be asking for a trade too.

Goody had you in and out the team this year, it’s a short career, so do what’s best for you Tommo!!

He clearly can't get a regular game at another club. We shopped him around last year and nobody was keen.

He still has a year left on a fairly generous contract, which other clubs obviously don't want to pick up.

Of course if  another club wanted to give him 24 games a year, and were willing to offer us something other than a 4th round pick for him, we would oblige. We have never stood in the way of players going for more opportunities.

I think we all saw this year that our backline operates best when we play 3 talls. Petty is the obvious tall forward we desperately need, not to mention that his injury is a complex one that might take a long time to heal.

Tomlinson has a role to play, and unless we trade in another big bodied tall defender, I believe he will get a lot more  games than people think. We played him in a  do or die final. If we had a fully fit list, who would have played instead of him? Petty? I doubt it. If Petty wasn't injured he would have played instead of Tmac. 

He is a must to stay unless we trade a replacement in.

Personally, we know he can play back. l get him doing ruck craft so he can replace or relieve Max in a break glass situation. Was rucking at GWS


Still wouldn't be shocked to see him elsewhere next year as it seems Goody just has him pegged as a back up. Personally I thought they might throw T-Mc back at Casey next year to be the back up and allow Jefferson more opportunities to develop.

I'm hoping we see Disco Turner in the 22 next year as our 3rd tall defender.

Can’t have 2 of the slowest players in the league in one team - Jordon and Tomlinson

You have a source that you won’t name or you’re just speculating?

JJ’’s all but gone so that’s irrelevant.

Id be happy to move on Tommo but the key defenders available are limited, can see more over the last week why they’d keep him.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
