Adam Tomlinson
Adam Tomlinson (born 10 August 1993) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was recruited by Greater Western Sydney with their seventh selection and ninth overall in the 2011 national draft. He made his debut in the sixty-three-point loss against  at ANZ Stadium in Greater Western Sydney's inaugural match in round one.

In his second season, he was the round 17 nominee for the AFL Rising Star where he recorded twenty-three disposals, nine marks, four tackles and a goal in the thirty-nine-point loss against  at Škoda Stadium. He was educated at Trinity Grammar School in Kew, Victoria.
