T Mac’s 150th

P-man
in Melbourne Demons

Assuming he’s not a late withdrawal, tip of the hat to T Daddy Mac on reaching 150 games - a game for each strand of hair he’s driven me to remove, but provided a lot of entertainment along the way.

Here’s hoping he puts in a good shift, because by god do we need one right now.

All the best Tommy ?

    Do you have some data to back that contention ding? Max's 100th wasn't a happy affair, but we were [censored] for quite a number of years so the milestone games have obviously been a bit skewed. What about since 2015?

    Still, I'm hoping Tomald will play his 150th in Melbourne, for non-sentimental reasons.

    Congratulations to him. He has been one of our shining lights through some dark years.

    I doubt Goody would bother holding Pruess back on Sunday and taking him up if 'T'- Daddy was a goer. 

    Along with the strategy of chunk playing off one wing ? Goody has been rusted on bout Maxy going it alone for some reason since start of season so he aint taking Preuss up as 2nd ruck.

    'T' - Daddy's 150th on his return...whenever that might be.  Hopefully against the 'Aints'.

    Not only did the team not step up for Max's 100th, they did not step up for Viney's 100th a week later.  Very sad when a team can't step up for their vice-cap and co-cap (btw I don't necessarily mean to win but at least put in an honourable showing for 4 qtrs).

    So this team's track record is not good in teamate's milestones (or special events eg Roos' last game).  Nonetheless, I hope they step up tonight and at the very least for Tom to get some mojo back.

    He has stuck with us thru thick and thin so would really like to see him have a memorable game.

    Congrats T-Mac, hopping it's a good one to remember??

    Do you only have one leg? Or do you mean his ankle is so bad that he’ll be hopping?

    I think he should play it against StKilda.

    Nah, no data Skuit, i just have memories of losing most times we had a big milestone to "celebrate", but ofc it was down to the fact that our team was junk. Since 2015 would be very interesting tbh. 100/150 game milestones are the main ones.. (50 games ones arent that important imo)

    With the short break between games... I would rest him,  because that ankle roll is not his only foot issue,  I am sure.  He has been putrid all season.

    Time to rest him, to get his body right, before he plays again...  miss this game, and he has had about 2 weeks to ease and sort his feet.

    Why keep on injecting him when half out team is out.  We will end up with a  merry-go-round  in the injury room.   One in one out...  all season.

    It just occurred to me this crop wouldn't have had all that much practice playing in big milestone games. I recall Watts had a 150th with us before he departed - and a complete stinker if I remember correctly. Maybe Port Adelaide at the MCG after the bye in 2017 where he dropped marks and squibbed from the outset? Melksham and Garlett a couple others. Jones and Lewis.

    • 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.
