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.

    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.

    Might be time to rename the thread.

    Tom and Oscar McDonald are managed by Alex McDonald, the brother of James and Anthony McDonald.

    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
