Adam Tomlinson (born 10 August 1993) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Greater Western Sydney Giants 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.[1] He made his debut in the sixty-three point loss against Sydney at ANZ Stadium in Greater Western Sydney's inaugural match in round one.[2]

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 Essendon at Škoda Stadium.[3] He was educated at Trinity Grammar School in Kew, Victoria.[4]

Tomlinson had to wait until round 19, 2013, to experience his first win in an AFL match, when the Greater Western Sydney Giants defeated Melbourne by 37 points. His 21 match-wait for a maiden win is currently the longest of any current player in the AFL.[5]
