Watching this guy in the last quarter, I honestly believe that he is our next bona fide superstar. Quiet for three quarters, then someone or something flicked the switch. His marking became clean and precise, and his delivery by hand was perfect. He will improve his set shot kicking I'm sure, and will boot a few bags in the future. 

 

Yep, just got to fix the kicking, but Jackson and Kossie up forward, entertaining times to come

He was okay. Bordering on good. Hard for any one player to have much influence today. There were a few games last year that showcased what he is capable of more than today.

 

Very reminiscent of a young David Schwarz the way that he moves.  His marking has improved - his kicking will too.

Important player

I couldn't agree more.  Things just seemed to click for him.  Possibly on the back of that big chase and contest for the loose ball on our 50 that ended with him giving away a highly dubious high contact free?  That was awesome to see him just put on the afterburners and charge through. 

Now we just need someone to chat with him about his set shot routine... 

A very young ruckman able to develop while playing a role adequately at the top level is nothing to be scoffed at.  Would be entirely happy if over the course of this season he just became enough of a potential headache that opponents have to take him seriously and make our mix of talls even harder to plan for.

 

Really is teasing us.  He has potential superstar qualities. Still raw. His kicking needs to be developed to fulfill.  Fantastic athletic ability. 

What if Tmac keeps playing like he did today and Jackson keeps improving?

A nice problem to have but I wonder how Weid and Brown fit into the equation.

Was thinking the same

That pack mark was an absolute ripper

Hopefully a few more of those and all the naysayers who reckon he was too expensive at pick 3 will shut up 

Was talking about this with my mates after the game, he is a strong mark, just needs to work on his goal kicking.

Wasn't Johno Brown going to help Weed this year, maybe we could also get him to help LJ with some goal kicking?

If T Mac continues to play like he did today then clearly Jackson or Weid misses out.


Wait and see on the marking. It hasn’t been great so far.

I loved some of his tackling and the way he was full of running in the last.

Plus the way he can land from marking and keep moving is off the charts. 
 

We need to kick it where he can run and jump across a pack more than sit it high like we do for Gawn.

Edited by DeeSpencer

He will explode soon as long as he doesn’t get hurt

huge talent that Choco will love to work with

Yze can teach him how to nail a goal at the G hopefully. His marking in the last quarter was very promising. Will benefit from Brown being in the side.

Tommy will wind up on the wing using his aerobic capacity to cruise up and down the ground all day.  He took some really nice contested marks today as the outlet from defence. 

Already a very handy player with just about as much upside as any player in the competition.


Very promising from Jackson. His kicking was as bad as the rest of the team.

What this kid is pulling off at such a young age is completely flying under the radar. He’s going to be a top level talent for sure. After some lean years at the draft, we def nailed that one with Jackson, Pickett and Rivers.

Looked hesitant and unsure for most of the game. I’m a big fan but he’s far from the finished article. Plenty of improvement left yet.  

 

Pretty good for his 7th game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That piece of play from him was exhilarating! Pity he gave away a free kick, a 50 and missed the goal. But it offered a glimpse of his game changer potential, even if it'll ultimately go down as a clanger.

  • 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.

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
