FORWARD CLASS  

Tom McDonald led the competition’s most prolific attack with 53 goals after missing the opening five games with a foot problem. Always a difficult match up for defenders with his strong marking and the huge tank that gets him around the ground where he can also be damaging.

Great year after missing the first 5 games has big shoes to fill if Hogan goes.

Hogan has big shoes to fill if he stays IMO. Tom McDonald to me is in the top 10 best players in the league. A forward who can play ruck, wing, back, midfield (at a pinch), and actually kicks goals not points. Sign him up for 4 years.

Oh wait we already did!

I’d pick TMac over Hogan as a key forward everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. 

Absolute star of the competition. Our second most important player after Gawn.

No idea why I wanted to compare the two...but I had a random thought, would I take Tom, or Taylor Walker...

Thanks footywire

Its crazy to think that if he played every gams, he would have easily kicked over 60 goals this year

Insane for a first year forward.

TMAC very important in fact straightens us up as  the ball comes in looking for him. The most relaxed kicking action for goal.

Tmac hands down in front of T Lynch any day.

Excellent year!!!

 

Very crucial piece in our structure. Was behind the 8 ball but hit the ground running when he came in. Easily top 4 in players of importance.

very lucky to sign him up at an acceptable dollar and avoid the free agent circus.

2019 showed that his 2018 forward showing was certainly no aberration.


One of the very best pack marks in the league. That’s what I really like about Tom (and he can run all day)!

Awsome news from Demonland's resident time traveler.

In all seriousness though, I'm looking forward  (pardon the pun) to what he can produce in 2019, given that he had a pretty interrupted preseason this year with his foot issues.

His goal kicking is generally absolutely supurb.  I had a bit of a dig on Demonland at one point that his goal kicking was off for a few games (cumulating with the Sydney game) there because he wasn't kicking at his usual +80% accuracy.  I was actually giving the guy a complement for his usual superhuman accuracy, but another poster thought I was being serious, took it to heart and thought I was being a bit harsh.  Tommy himself admitted later that week that his goal kicking hadn't been what it could have been, but that he'd identified a few things that he wasn't doing right, but that he'd done some practice that week and thought he had sorted it out.  Low and behold, from that point in the season onwards, his goal kicking was back to it's superlative normal.

His one grab pack marks are also such a treat to watch.  Love big Tommy Mac and really hoping that Oscar turns into a similar build and player in seasons to come.

The best ironing board to ever play the game of Aussie Rules footy. I'm. A. Fan.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
