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:

Alex played for Whorethorn so i hope there was lots of hilarity in his office this week!

Not every player is Tom Scully. 

Who?


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.

Everyone has regrets ... :lol:


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.

Great news. Has been a very good week for demon fans

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
