DEMON ‘SET TO LEAVE’ AS POSSIBLE DESTINATION PRESENTS

Melbourne key defender Adam Tomlinson is expected to call it quits with the Demons this year amid a lack of chances at senior level, according to SEN reporter Sam Edmund. 

Tomlinson, who played a key role in the club’s 2021 dominance before missing out on its premiership due to injury, holds unrestricted free agent rights this off-season. 

The 31-year-old has played a combined 32 AFL games in the past four seasons, and he hasn’t played more than 13 senior games in a season since 2019. 

Edmund floated a rival Victorian club as a possible landing spot this October. 

“(He is) set to leave Melbourne as an unrestricted free agent,” Edmund told SEN. “(He) wants more opportunity ... Is St Kilda the home as his third club?”

With in-demand defender Josh Battle widely anticipated to depart Moorabbin for Hawthorn this off-season, adding Tomlinson as further depth behind All-Australian Cal Wilkie and Dougal Howard could be wise.

 

No surprise. He's been pure depth for us, and even when he performed well, he was straight out of the team.

Unless, Petty or Turner move back to defence, it leaves us short on kpd depth. Adams is still an unknown quantity.

Good luck Adam. Always look upon you as a bone fide Demon. All the best.

 

Always been a big Tomlinson fan and was shocked he wasn't picked up by another club sooner.
Wish him all the best!

 


New contract at 31? Grab it Tommo!

Good luck

I wasnt against him sticking around another year as depth but happy he can get a contract and a starting gig at another club. Been unlucky here at times, all the best fella

Hopefully the club will offer him another 12 month contract that will make it worthwhile.

I think he's after playing more footy. Not happening with us.


He is lucky that Battle is leaving

Just too slow

Wonder if St Kilda do a late pick trade with us so that they don't impact any compensation for Battle.

I doubt it- Tomo is 31 and his new contract will probably not attract any compensation for us at all.

It might not mean compensation to us but it may dilute St Kilda's compensation for Battle. The system is deliberately vague.

The club hasn’t yet offered him a contract, nor have they delisted him.  I wonder if that is because they’re waiting to see if they can land a key forward (which would send Petty back and result in Tommo being surplus to requirements) or if they’re anticipating a trade with StK, helping them avoid diluting Battle compo

great point

they may want to trade as a result


Just now, whatwhat say what said:

great point

It would just be a shuffling of later picks. 

Nothing against Tommo should he looks for more opportunities elsewhere. He played some great footy in the opening couple of months of our premiership year before he went down with his ACL.

Random fact. Even though he only played 40 odd games in 5 years with us, Tommo was a starter in every one of our season opening matches since he joined at the end of 2019.


Always liked Tomo. If not for the ACL he might have been a Premiership Player. He has been stiff in that we have some solid key backs and always performed admirably when filling in and unfairly dropped even after solid games. Cannot begrudge the guy for seeking opportunities elsewhere and I wish him the best of luck.

Thanks for your contributions Adam and good luck wherever your footy career takes you.

 

His ACL derailed his career. Lost his pace and manoeuvrability.

Correct. I believe at the time he got injured he was the leading one on one contested mark in the comp. 

Desperately unlucky not to be a premiership player.

Good luck Tommo

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
