This week wasn't even a contest-- McDonald was the best eligible player by a mile!

Excellent news, and richly deserved.

And, how we needed some good news, after the devastation of last night's news re Mitch!

Might be sent up forward to replace Mitch, and Davis take his backline spot.

Well done to my boy Tom McDonald. Never in doubt!

Now sign him up Melbourne!

It would have made good commercial sense to extend his contract PRIOR to the nomination.It was obvious he had the goods, but now his agents are in a far better bargaining position. (reminds me of Woey with his Brownlow!)

Well deserved, and well picked up by Whispering Jack. There were so many other suggestions in his thread on this, that I began to believe them, and expected Green or someone else to get it. I now realize the Liam Shiel suggestion was a cynical one!

His story is a terrific example of perseverance and dedication to becoming the best footballer he can be. Has real ticker.

Good news, after we've had all the rising stars against us it's great for us to get one back.

Well deserved.

This isn't the first time you have shown a lack of understanding of the time and effort required in managing a list and signing players, especially when you've got heaps of them to get through. It's nowhere near as simple as just signing him a few weeks earlier.

Well MFC must have played MFC as many of the RS this year have come from teams playing the Dees, congrats to Tmac, I will put my hand on my heart and admit I must know diddly squat about football, cause after the Richmond game I was calling for him to go back to the magoos, I am truely amazed at the turn around from that game, now one of my favourites in anew exciting looking backline

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
