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.

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.

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

Well done Tommy.

Not a perfect player, but one of my favourites.

50 games and 200 more to come.

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.

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
