Just the media have missed something.  He's signed until the end of 2022.

So called professionals can't even add up.... haha

    Fantastic news.

    Huge part of us going onwards and upwards.

    Keep him in the forward line with Hoges and we are well on our way.

    Well done Tmac and MFC.

    Genius move in the end. Interesting that Mahoney stated Tom was drafted as a forward/ruck who then had to play back

    Yeah, thats why i suggested it, and OMc was starting to show a bit of something, just starting to show signs of emerging.

    I thought OMc needed to have a bit more responsibility, and the rucks both got injured and Tom's kicking was an issue; at that time.

    Frost was doing OK. Tommy either needed to play forward, because of his kicking issue, or in the future he wouldn't have been able to keep his spot.

    The rest now is history, and a fantastic one;,, and his kicking transformation is amazing.  I heard he worked on it, with one of our coaches, and he has emerged an amazing footballer.

     

    Same re Pedo, I was always optimistic for him, and with a bit of faith and some injuries, and his mindset getting better, he took the opportunity, and he is now a true Demon.

    His efforts for team and club, i think is fantastic.

    He and Hogan are so damaging and complimentary - it is underpinning our flag hopes really. We can get smashed in the middle and still kick a winning score because these two attract a confident transition from our players behind the footy. They know they will get rewarded when they turn the footy over and move it quick.

    Which game was it when we first trialled him in the forward line in the second half of a match, and he suprisingly kicked a few and always looked like a solid lead up target? At the time it seemed kind of odd and gimmicky. Oh how times have changed.

    I don't remember which game it was, but I wanted TMc out of defence, and the rucks got hurt.  Now I want him to venture back down there, just for cameos, with his newfound kicking skills, and confidence.

    And I noticed how our transition thru mid ground improved, with him and Pedo using their size across the middle, which really aided our bringing of the ball thru, and into our F50.

     

    We sort of stumbled into it... and then we stumbled out of it, when Gawn came back too soon, and Pedo was dropped.

    This year seems we have learnt, that the midfield is better with the big guy up around the wing.

    The worst thing about this news is that we get another terrible pun from Matt Burgan and Melbourne Media. "Tommy Gun Locked and Loaded"? You don't need puns for headlines anymore. We're in the 21st century. 

    Other than that, great news.

    Entertaining interview with T Mac on SEN a short time ago.

    • Oscar and the club have started talks on his contract.

    • The boys have a tennis, squash and board games club. Beats drinking beers mid-week IMO.

    • Was asked about the “ Camp” and admitted he was in the middle of it and could see both sides of the argument. Basically said mountain out of molehill.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
