He showed some excellent form in the red and blue, especially before he did his knee in 2021. Could easily have been Tommo winning a premiership alongside Lever and May. Deserves more game time, thanks for everything Tommo!

and confidence maybe?

I think he was definitely on the outside looking in. Seemed Goodwin didn’t rate him.  He was too good for VFL and showed ability as key defender role.  Unfortunately he would be dropped quickly where we had a loss despite his form.  He should look elsewhere.  Suggest Kangas would be his best option. 
Good luck and thanks Tommo

 

Good luck, Tomo. 

Was devastated when he did his knee in 2021. Was killing it that season and deserved to be on the field for that GF.

Surely this means T Mac will be offered another year if Tomo leaves.

Tomlinson was very handy as a back up defender and served the club well.

T Mac gets another year no matter who we bring in. I reckon this year has been his best season ever.


I thought he was poorly treated by MFC. He may not have been a world beater, but the form he showed in ‘21 he at least deserved respect. He certainly didn’t have that from the President. At a NSWDemons event some 2 years ago, where Roffey was a guest speaker, she stated that “you don’t win finals with players like Tomlinson, he won’t be picked”. Not Roffey’s finest moment, and makes you wonder what else she may have said on other occasions to the demon faithful.

That’s horrible form from the President but I dare say he had the respect from the playing group and coaches.  Unfortunately just not in our best 22 and definitely has lost his edge since doing his knee 

Best of Luck Tommo

such a shame your knee went in ‘21 you were playing superb football before that. Lost that little bit of agility, when you returned 

Always welcome back

If that is true she should get on her bike and leave, now, without a gold watch.  

Absolutely appalling to speak like that about any player to any gathering, even if you do think that.  Keep your nose out of football matters, and just get your one job done, finding us a home.    
 

That is truly one of the most upsetting posts I have read. 😡😡😡😡

Just a really nice guy, always had time for a chat when we were at our local coffee shop at the same time. Wish him nothing but the best, and he deserved better from us. 


Can only wish this guy well. He was always on a short leash with the FD and was surprisingly dropped a few times after solid games.

Probably deserved more from us than he got.

Good luck to him, I hope he finds a situation that works for him. 

Saints can have him for pick 7, 8 and Max King, otherwise send him to the Pies.

Unfortunately we have zero say in a free agent. 

Definitely best of luck to him (with all the usual caveats).

Felt he was bitterly unlucky with the way the tall defender roster played out. You'd think with Petty rolled forward his chances would have come, but even then, no.

He may yet get a few more seasons out of his body given that his game has never been about pace or agility.

Anyway, the space opens nicely for Sam De Koning to join his brother with us at the end of 2025. You know, alongside the Whitlock twins who will be their longer-term understudies.


Hopeful we would get a third round compensation pick. Am I dreaming?

He was an absolute pillar in our three-pronged premiership-year defensive set-up for the first six or seven rounds while  building belief among our team until doing his knee against North and ultimately being usurped by Petty. Otherwise, I'm fairly certain he would now have a grand final medallion, and it's not forgotten. Tomald's Jesus-like resurrection this year has further cruelled his career. 

I wish him well. I'm sure he'll be able to succeed at a different club but he feels surplus to requirements at the Dees at the moment.

Free agent = free.

The 22 June 2023 event, perhaps, Neil?

Free agency has compensation for the club that loses a player.

I'm doubting he would reach the bench mark for the third round compensation mark.

Thanks, it just seemed 2 years ago. We lost to Geelong that night if I remember correctly

Good luck to thommo.

Remember when we recruited him he was going to play wing 🤦‍♂️

Things change, that's called being flexible, both practically and psychologically.

Goodwin … early sign of his madness?

The Age. October 2019.
 

Adam Tomlinson is looking forward to some consistency in his playing role after being earmarked for a spot on the wing at Melbourne.

The Demons recruit was unveiled at AAMI Park on Tuesday after joining the club as a free agent on a five-year deal on Monday. Melbourne have identified Tomlinson primarily as a wingman. 
Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin spoke about him playing a consistent role, and once games start, being cemented in that spot.

  • 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.

    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.
