Tom McDonald's goal was the most concentrated moment of pure unadulterated joy I've ever felt as a Melbourne supporter…but I guess I'm biased.

T-Macs goal makes me feel sick every time I see it. It reminds me of how drunk I got that night. Three days after the game I received a tuxedo jumpsuit in the post, apparently I’d ordered it when drunk.

Love Cam Pedersens crucial touch... Without it, Tmac wouldn't have gotten the ball

Gonna miss the big guy! ❤️?

Pedo was a decient part of that whole win, taking a big grab and kicking a goal with about 10mins to go as well.  

He didn’t play that all that many senior games for the MFC, but he had some big moments in some of the breakthrough games towards the end.  I'll never forget Pedo's role in that win we had against Hawthorn - kicked at least 2 goals at crucial times and had a good hand in a number of others.

It was the perfect antidote for me to recover from that dying seconds loss we had against St Kilda a few years ealier when Leigh Montagna stole defeat from the jaws of victory from us in what would have been another hoodoo breaking game against the Saints, but with that recient history in mind, I couldn't fully celebrate the T Mac goal until the siren had sounded.  I still remember that Montagna goal and how it made me feel at the time, but moments like Tommy Mac's goal and a number of others are starting to heal the emotional wounds of the past decade, though I don't think I can fully recover from a case of late onset MFCSS until we bring home that elusive flag.

Like you Chook, I'm a huge fan of Tommy's, but thankfully he is in good company these days with soo many wearing the red and blue competing for the mantle of my favorite player.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
