JKH contracted for 2017.

No disrespect to those nine, but god it's nice to be approaching the offseason with no players in our best 22 out of contract.

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

    Old McDonald had a farm, ee-i-ee-i-o, and on that farm he bred plenty of McDonalds ... :lol:

    Great news. The club has huge raps on Oscar so it will be "watch this space" over the preseason to see how he develops physically, and in terms of footy nouse. Both these boys are capable of thevery best and the very worst but their best is very, very good.

    Excellent.

    Tim Watson thought the Bombers were a chance at getting T  mac LOL

    We will take Hurley as a DFA now, thanks Timmy.

    Great news. Now someone get Oscar twenty pies and five snot blocks. Looking at that picture, he couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding

    OMac's got a good frame on him- will be a big boy in two years.

    Great news!!

    Ideal world 3-4 years for Tom but hopefully there are triggers for an extension.

    Hopefully GNF's info on Hogan is on point and this will be the first offseason I don't have to agonise about our players leaving!

    Well done MFC. Classy year all round.

    Now for the sweetest two words in the English language to come to fruition... mathematical possibility....

    I think you're right. I hope you're right. Would solve some problems when we come up against those big forwards.

    and he looks a lot more than 2cm taller. wonder if he has put on a height spurt this year which has slowed him from filling out. looks a good 6cm in pic

    OMac was wearing his best heels in that pic dc

    Would definitely look to give Pederson at least another year. He's been a handy player for us over the journey and he is decent depth considering our lack of versatile talls.

    Tom, in particular, would have been in high demand outside the MFC, but he chose to remain a Demon.  That, in itself, is a huge tick for our Club, and a sign of where he thinks we are heading.

    Can we please stop assuming that a long negotiation equals player leaving now?

    Nasher, Nasher ...

    I think you know the answer to that.

    The best thing about Tom is that his turnovers are so entertaining. He never makes boring, run of the mill blunders.

    Can't believe how many posters have a crack at Tommy.  He is the glue down back and at 23 is a gun. Great signings!

    Tim Watson is a dithering fool who makes wild statements to mask his own deficiencies and ineptitude.

    and well done Mc Bros, I reckon that's awesome news for the club!

    Great stuff from both of them! OMac was pretty scratchy for a while there (understandable he is still developing) but he has definitely been improving in recent weeks.

    TMac I never really thought he was going to leave, even though he put off the contract talks I think it was to gauge the clubs development before deciding. Hard to argue with how we're going now! If he can get rid of his brain farts he would be an excellent player for us, as it is he is still very important and he's in Red and Blue for another 2 years. 

    Not to ruin the moment but anyone else find TMac's choice of the 2 year deal surprising?

    Good news, but I doubt anyone thought he was actually leaving.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
