Tomlinson makes Tomlinson look like Tomlinson

He’s a spud. I can’t wrap my head around why he continues to be so popular.

I’d rather somebody than nobody, and at least he boosts depth. But he’s far from inspiring

Not sure what your point is with that rant. Regardless, Tomlinson is far better than Clurey.

Be interesting why the club has not announced re signings of the remaining 3. Might be more to do with Sullivan and his camp leaking to media than anything else
 
I read somewhere in this thread he has pace and skills, or maybe it’s was just pace. Either way it’s puts him in front of Macrae.
He has shown more than Macrae at AFL level but it is close, I think he has more pace and more of an outside game which probably shows his skills off as well.

I personally think Macrae won't make it as an inside mid but maybe playing a Lipinski type role. Honestly would love to be wrong, if he turned in to a Rowbottom that would be amazing but probably won't happen.

More info if you are interested in Carroll

Edit: I have a feeling we were linked to Carroll in his draft year

Dont think any other club has yet to announce their re-signings from those left after delistments, so maybe closer to the deadline of the list lodgement next week?

It wasn't until Oct 27 2023, it was announced Begg, Kreuger and Carmy got 1 year extensions

Have we actually been linked to this young fella or just wishful thinking?

I saw a rumour on Twitter (and stated as much in my initial post that it was a rumour) that he did a medical at Collingwood

Let me tell you something about boz lol What he posts, he generally gets told to post from others. Doesn't mean the info is legit, or just made up (usually) so best to take it with a grain of salt. Unless it gets reported in the media.

In a Carroll v Macrae debate the starting point for me is whether they can play a secondary role because neither is good enough to be starting midfield at the top level. Carroll might be able to play elsewhere, but Macrae can’t.

It’d be nice to have our depth on the flanks in 2025 so if the club saw him as an option I’d support it. That said I’d take one out of the state league like Bice.

Hence why the word "rumour" was used

My first post about it was literally "If the rumours of Carroll doing a medical at Collingwood are true..."

Surely they wouldn't expect players to keep getting a contract quiet. Why would you?

I wouldn't be surprised if they're still in limbo as the club look to see whether they can improve depth or find depth that they think has a brighter future.
 
Did they forget about Dean?

I’m with you mate. Haven’t been signed yet. Clubs likely chatting to delisted players prior to making a decision. I’d let long go. He’s a pure inside mid that’s not afl quality. We need depth that can cover multiple roles. That’s why I don’t mind Sullivan as cheap depth

is there room to rookie Long? I'd be giving him another year.

He's pretty handy up forward also. This guy was a genuine level or 2 above VFL. Carlton supporters really liked him. Played about 15 AFL games this year I think but was sub a fair bit. If we can get him as an SSP, it's a no brainer
 
The rumour started on twitter I believe, but there was a Carlton fan on Reddit who said Collingwood and GWS have interest. Unsure where that info came from.
Just did some checking — the rumour of Collingwood being interested in Carroll was BEFORE the tweet about him doing a medical with us. So that makes it 2 separate rumours.

Boz’ tweet was probably rubbish. But that talk coming from a Carlton fan must have some truth to it.

Why do you think Macrae cant play the high half forward Lipinksi role? I understand that was his position when he was bottom age in the U18s

Or maybe a contract has been offered and they are just fine tuning some details in it
