As much as Tom frustrates the [censored] out of me with his disposal this signing is huge.

His 2nd half of the season is close to the early AA form he showed last year.

Well done Tom.

Same here. In terms of importance to the team, I rate him in the top 5, which would be reflected in his market value. But I don't rate him in the best 8 players at the club. 

His re-signing is hugely important.

I can confirm, I have today been told by a reliable source within the club prior to the match that Tom has indicated he will sign on to stay within the next month. Finer details still to be worked out

Can't believe those who are sitting on the fence with this. He's 22 (?) years old and has already done jobs on some of the best forwards in the game. Is a running machi

Well done Tom.

When we win this year we average above 45 points as a result of intercept turnover, Tom is our best intercept player by a mile, but also a very good defender, literally the only downside is his skills/decision making can be suspect at time, but as others have mentioned, Rance went through a similar phase.

Awesome news -  his turnovers kill me -  but it's the toughest gap to fill in the footy these days and I think he's close to one of the the top 5 key defenders in the comp.

Maybe the 2 year term is so that the Mac boys can leave if we still haven't made finals.

Good news, although two years makes me think Tom is looking for a big big payday in a couple years time. If his form warrants it then good on him.

Great news.

Tom appears to now have a contract now that takes him to FA. I suppose most managers would try and get that situation.

We just have to keep improving, to ensure he and our other good players want to stay. 

One more to go and we can all rest easy.

Great news. re the 2 years Perhaps its insurance if the whole club sinks post roosy .  Or perhaps, as others have said, its pushing for a bigger payday down the track. Hopefully we have them both for years to come. Love that their brothers and holding down the 2 key back posts.

2 years is a sensible contract length for player and club. Good work to all involved.

According to Tom in the Burgs article, he never talked to any other clubs or assessed any other offers.

Can we please stop assuming that a long negotiation equals player leaving now? Not every player is Tom Scully.

    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.

    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.
