Tom McDonald Re-Signs for 4 Years

Featured Replies

Great news!  He was looking for a bit of tenure so this takes him till 30.  Delighted for all.

Reckon this makes us a 'Destination Club' - simply because of all the talent we have re-signed.  Player Managers will be knocking on our door and we will be in the control seat and can say 'no thank you, no room at the inn!'.  Unless it is someone we really want.

I prefer this...

 

 

On a side note, in this article Tom says he is over his foot injury https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/tom-mcdonald-commits-to-melbourne-20180605-p4zjie.html

"...What also has McDonald happy is that he has found comfort with his footy boots, revealing the foot problem which had him in doubt for the clash against the Crows was a result of experimenting with the positioning of the studs on his boots......I got a bit sore with it. Since then, I have felt pretty good with it," he said.

Good to hear he can play relatively pain free.

Just sayin.

Even a broken watch tells the right time twice a day.

All of BP's many failed early draft selections say hi as well.

This is a serious win to get it done so quickly, creates a vibe, not that I ever thought he was going. We would have to be top 4 for destination clubs (Sydney/Geelong/Richmond) if you removed the go home/state factor and just focused on culture/prospects of team success. Adelaide people jump ship pretty regularly, WCE doesn't seem to do particularly well nor Collingwood. Hawthorn has been the benchmark for awhile but their stock price has slipped i reckon.

Delicious 

Bif day for the marketing Dept. AND the recruiting team.

The sales pitch now to Gaff, Wines or anyone else of quality can be:

"... how would you like to kick the ball into a Hogan/TMac forward line..."

 

Sign here!

What a legend. I Expect him to vice captain under Viney for many years

he commitment and dedication and second to none. I rememeber reading about the hours he would travel for each training session as a junior. 

sets a great example - not good at set shot kicking?  ill practice relentlessly until I am good. 

Just checked my phone on lunch break and saw this news. Absolutely wrapped! Huge signing and will be a rock in our forward line for years to come.

Now only Brayshaw is left and we’ve locked away all our stars!

By far the most important part of this is increases the likelihood Omac will extend his contract!

 

:pj:


I really like how the Dees have been having weekly positive news stories like this! Re-signings, new sponsors, it all amounts to a stable off-field environment. Keeps us positively focused on the week ahead! Onya Tommy-Gun! Go Dees!!!

How many smiley faces does one need?  For that post I apologize, I thought the answer was none.  But for some it would seem it's "many".

After Gawn has tapped it to Oliver who hits you with the best clearance handball in the game.

Rounds out the vision nicely.  Good work and highly believable.


Now this is done, Brayshaw and Jetta will follow.

[censored] magnificent.

After having an Oliver mach 4 handball magically appear in your hands.

The Flash. Much better than Clarry sorry.

 

Well done Tommy t.

Thanks for being a club man, and most likely, a one club player.

 

Great news, & this is the way to win in September.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
