Inaugural Giants player who spent the first eight years with them before joining Melbourne as a free agent. Played in losses in his first 21 career matches before playing in a win over Melbourne in Round 19, 2013.
Recruited as a wingman, Tomlinson moved into the Demon defence late in 2020. He was in career best form as a backman when he suffered a season ending ACL knee injury in Round 7, 2021. He played the first four games of 2022 in the absence of the injured Jake Lever, but only appeared in four more games for the rest of the season. Played in Casey's 2022 VFL premiership side.
Tomlinson started 2023 in the side, but was dropped after two games. Further recalls in Round 5 and Round 13 were shortlived, but he was recalled for his first final as a Melbourne player in the losing Semi Final. He was linked with a trade at the end of the season but Melbourne declared him a required player, retaining him for the last year of his contract.
After playing in the opening game of 2024, Tomlinson was unable to break back into Melbourne's defence until a Jake Lever injury opened the door for his return in Round 11. He played the last game of the year but was delisted at the end of the season. Played for the North Melbourne VFL team in 2025.
