Me too regarding O’Brien. I’m hoping he might come good.

The Demons were able to replace Tomlinson with Petty without even noticing it and I think that Petty is only okay in a system that doesn't need stars in order to be effective.

We don't need him especially with Jones likely to be heading our way.
I'd rather have a look to Melican if we need depth.

Jed Anderson is a potential DFA from North.
Any takers?

I actually don't mind him.
Has some grunt. But injured a lot.

You would want to make sure he is very fit. At his best he is a damaging player but he doesn't play enough games from my perspective and for a midfielder/forward he doesn't kick enough goals so I'd pass.

Got some grunt but his body just breaks down at the worst times.

Pass.
Injured, slowish, poor skills - we have enough of those.

Yes I am hoping too Josie. Besides it is more fun being positive.

The property steward loves him because his jumper and shorts are as pristine at the final siren as they were at the opening bounce of every game.

I like Petty and if we was gettable I'd say yes.
Tomlinson would be a tentative yes from me if we didn't already take O'Brien and offer a contract to Cordy.
Pre-ACL Tomlinson would be a yes for sure. Does he play on a wing? At this stage he'd offer us a slow Cheesy Barlow and I'm not sure that is worth $500k of whatever contract we'd take over. He's sure as hell not worth that as a third backman as he doesn't seem the type to intercept mark and that's what we lack.
I'd rather go to draft and hope like hell TOB has a really good pre-season

There is a tactical move towards mobile talls, particularly with Blicavs’ unique strengths and the structural impact he has on the Cats. Without him, the Cats would be a very different team. We also hear that Freo is interested in Jackson playing around the ball but not as a ruck man.
Tomlinson has shown previous success as a tall wing - a position we definitely struggled finding permanent solutions this year - and it is perfectly reasonable for us to talk with him and let our doctors/fitness team have a look. I trust their judgment.
Remember too that Geelong have succeeded in recruiting mature bodied players from other clubs. Incredible really how many of tomorrow’s team started their career elsewhere. Getting a fit Tomlinson for low draft capital is worth the risk (provided of course the docs and high performance team are supportive). Then we still get our early draft picks to use on high-end juniors who we desperate;y need.

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
SEN is reportedly throwing around Jack Madgen as well. Guess it's the silly season where every average at best tall gets connected to us, just like the old days.

I don't even know who that is
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
