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

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

Rolling, just guessing but are you holding off on buying a digital watch to see if they catch on?

Just sayin.

True, his strike rate was amazing though, wasn't it.

Who in their right mind would want to leave this club anyway?

The place is buzzing and we’re on the cusp of something special 

You would have to be from another planet to want to leave this club.

 

MAGNIFICENT NEWS! Just about our most important player right now. 6 games played for 6 wins this season tells the story.

We got better as soon as he went forward 

he takes grabs and rarely misses

 

Haven't lost since he came back.


Brilliant news.

 

His last contract, he would only sign for two years, he wants success and he wanted to see the direction we were headed in, signing for four years is a massive endorsement of both Goodwin and the direction the club is heading

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.

Who was it posted after the Bulldogs game he was still in trouble with his foot?

just watched tom in his media conference. he speaks very well and intelligently.

he won't be, but i could easily picture him as a captain. maybe the club could use him more in the way jw was used.

 

Now THIS I have no trouble with in regards to the club advertising it.

Tommy Mc would definitely have many a suitor should he begin to equivocate over his contract status. The fact he didn't even look anywhere else is a big tick for the club.

Tommy having signed on for four more years. Doctor Who getting permanently banned. This is turning out to be quite a pleasant day!

Well this is news... when did this great bit of admin happen?

The strong bond between the senior players is obvious and reflected in unselfish, ego-free play. I’d be shocked if we lost any required players over the next 2-3 years.

I remember when he first went forward and i thought, oh dear....clutching at straws here, i didnt think he could kick straight. Wow talk about an elite forward. Just gets better.

Fantastic news, made my day :)

You think they debate for Gawn or King in  the ruck?

Filipovic

I guess having signed,  the next  big question is in what kind of pay bracket did he do it for. hopefully in a deal that gave us some room to target Gaff or Wines.

I heard something on SEN, they said it was an absolute bargain. Was it around the 650-700K mark?

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".

Such amazing news to wake up to in Lisbon this morning. Great result. 

Nev and Omac I assume are regulation signings now. Brayshaw probably will sign soon too. 

Wouldn’t it be awesome to get Jesse to sign an extension before the year is over? A flag might help this.

Now watch him do an ACL on Monday.

Seriously though, I'm pumped with this news. Could easily have fielded offers and watched his price go through the roof. How much would he have been worth on the open market? If his form held out, he would be looking at Million dollar P.A. offers from several clubs I reckon. 

Obviously, our offer was good enough for his commitment for the next 4 years. Im still super confident we will have a big pot of cash to throw at free/restricted agents at years end, and each win pushes down the price good players will accept to come to us. Success breeds success, and right now we are like a supermodels younger sister. Looking more attractive each day.

Thanks for signing Plugger.

Great news! i used to hate this guy in the past as a backman with his poor foot skills and decision making, now I love him as a forward for his straight kicking. I love the turn around! 

It makes me wonder why he wasn't trialled as a forward earlier in his career. He was a forward as a junior, and whether we needed key position defender is irrelevant when he is a lot better as a forward. 

Last week at the dogs game, I noticed Oscar Mcdonald having shots for goal and he was slotting them beautifully with great technique. I wonder whether he could go forward in the same manner. On the other side, I wonder if Weideman could play back. He has the speed  and aerial prowess but he wouldn't need to mark it. Simply bring it to ground. Food for thought. 

That’s interesting ... Perhaps Weideman could be a Lever style intercept defender .. He looks the part actually !

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
