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.

    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.

    Max Gawn and Neville Jetta say hi.

    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..."

    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!

    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".

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

    Well done Tommy t.

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

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
