Since moving from the GWS Giants as a free agent at the end of 2019, Tomlinson gone through many highs and lows. He established himself in the Demons’ powerful defence early in 2021 but missed out on playing in the flag winning side that year due to an ACL. On return, he has been in and out of the senior team although he often seems to act as it’s lucky charm when played down back with fellow talls Steven May and Jake Lever.

that acl seems to have robbed him of a lot of mobility - he's not quite at chris lamb level turning circles, but he's unfortunately not that far off it

the amount of instruction he needs to be given from lever and may also tends to indicate that he might be a fantastic athlete but he's not a 'smart' footballer, and our entire gameplan is built around our backline and them making good decisions with and without the ball

To be fair, Lever and May bark instructions at everyone. 😂 Ricky in particular looks ill at ease if he’s not tearing someone a new one.

Lever = next MFC captain.

Adam is to good for VFL but needs to show he is next in line for his old spot will have stiff competition from Daniel Turner. Provides great depth as well.

Criminally underused by Goodwin.

Even gets dropped after a career best performance.

Yep and MUST play more in 2024

I think the 2km time trial is more a measure of endurance (anaerobic capacity) than speed (what is define as "fast" on a footy field).

It is absolutely one of Tomlinson's strengths, and has allowed him to play on the wing at GWS and to play on half forwards who roam up the ground. 

Unfortunately his agility (turning circle and direction change speed) has taken a hit since his ACL, which I think is one of the big things holding him back.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
