Congrats to Tommy Mac who'll play his 50th game on the big stage this weekend. Although much is said about his disposal, he's easily become one the top defenders going around which is incredible considering he's only 21 and about to play his 50th game. Great one on one player and a key prospect for the future for the Dees. Hopefully we retain him.

    very well spoken young man, doesn't shy away from hard work, obvious leadership potential, has all the tools just needs to work on his kicking.

    Drafted: Round 3, Pick #53 2010 National Draft

    Steal,

    Congrats Tommy, you have been a rock down the back line and have done a phenomenal job on the big name key forwards , all without the help of Frawley

    Man, that's come about very fast. Congrats Tom!

    To me it feels like he's been around forever already.

    I still remember very early in his career he got towelled up by Nick Riewoldt for the first 15 minutes of a game. I wrote him off then and there, but (naturally) he proceeded to destroy Roo for the rest of the night.

    He's a handy player, but does a bit too much aimless running with ball-in-hand for my taste.

    Well done Tommy.

    Not a perfect player, but one of my favourites.

    50 games and 200 more to come.

    good post. Geez only 21? He has huge upside. Reminds me of Steven icke. A little ungainly but super reliable and very driven

    Sums up my own thoughts too, J.

    Yes indeedy. TMac 50? its seems to have gone very quickly. I can't wait to see his next 2 seasons now he's been such a regular member of the team.

    His best is all in front of him. lets hope there's ar least another 200 + to come in the Red&Blue.

    King of the one-percenters and can run all day. Barry Prendagast success story. Would like to see take a few more contested marks and dispose of the ball properly under pressure.

    I had a conversation with Jack Trengove before the Darwin game a couple of years ago. Even then Tom Mac was very highly regarded among the playing group. Trengove was amazed at Tom's running ability both endurance and speed. This guy could become one of our great players.

    Well done, Tom!

    If he keeps shutting down the games best forward he would be in serious contention for All Australian? He seems excited to be at the club so I have no doubt he will sign soon. 10 plus year player for us.

    Well done. A great pick up for such a low draft pick. Plenty of upside too. I think it gets forgotten that he still is a baby in key defender terms.

  • Quote

    The 21-year-old, who was drafted at No.53 in the NAB AFL 2010 Draft, said being drafted was a moment he’ll never forget, but he’s eager to play a key part of Melbourne’s finals prospects in the future.


    “Getting drafted is still probably the highlight. The feeling when your name gets called out is probably one of the best feelings I’ve had in a long time. It’s just an excitement and a rush that I haven’t felt since,” he told Dee TV.


    “I’m looking forward to playing finals and hopefully that trumps it pretty quickly.


    Well it seems he is happy at melbourne so I hope he signs soon.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
