2012 Player Review - # 25 Tom McDonald

Demonland
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

It was a very successful season for Tom. He played twenty games after starting in the VFL in Round One, flew to Perth as an emergency, and was a late inclusion - he hasn’t looked back ever since. He played on many quality key forwards and many potential quality key forwards in the competition, and he’s a very important player for the future. Tom has an elite endurance base, and he’ll continue to build his body composition and maintain his high level of endurance.- Jade Rawlings (back line coach) melbournefc.com.au

    He will definitely be the mainstay of our defence in the next couple of years.

    The best improver for the season. Has the potential to be All Australian CHB. Only downside is that he has the poor disposal disease which afflicts alll our backline.

    He will make Ted Richards look like Luke Livingston...

    Tommy will be a 10 year key position defender..

    Superstar in the making. I really hope Neeld gives him a go up forward next season, would love to see him take some good grabs and kick a few sausage rolls.

    Really like his attitude. Seems really focused. Great interview on the MFC website.http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/149681/default.aspx

    Said he wants to focus on building up his strength and body size.

    Can't wait.

    I reckon he is going to be central to our defense for the next decade.

    MacDonald, Frawley, Garland and Watts makes for a very formidable defense structure offering versatility and differing and complimenting strengths.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
