Imagine the new three year deal may stretch some of his 2022 salary out a little?

its interesting considering he was on the trade table with his best, apparently, behind him.

hopefully took less coin to retain younger players, with the opportunity of future glory the main prize.

 

Was he actually out of contract this year?

Signing on means this will take him to 200 game club. Well done Tommy. Anyone know last play that did that?

Reckon he's taken a slight pay cut?

Reckon he's re-negotiated his wage, and it's all to help us bring in Cerra and maybe others

 

Long term security for Tom and they have most likely reworked his average salary to give us TTP room. Pretty happy with this.


Will he get through the life of the contract? 🤔

The new deal for Tom McDonald comes a year after he was shopped around for a trade.

Most likely the remuneration has been reworked to give the club additional room to move with regard to future trading, possibly with Adam Cerra in mind.

Recently, the club announced a contract extension for Joel Smith and it brought out the best in Smith for a few games.

Good sign for TMac

  • Demonland changed the title to Tom McDonald Re-Signs Until 2024

Great news for Tommy. Really pleased for him and the club.

Spells the end for Weid though, doesn’t it?

Getting a 2 year extension rather than 1, suggests to me they gave him the extra year on the condition it would be on very modest coin which allowed the club even greater flexibility to smooth it over 3 years ... club can't do a thing wrong at the moment ...

I’d say so. It also wouldn’t be right to keep him in the vfl team as depth as there AFL teams crying out for a #2 tall.

Smoothing out the coin! Cerra must be on the way :mahoney2:

I dont think money is the issue with Cerra, its our trade currency.  Not sure how we get it done

I've heard we're trading out Brayshaw, Gawn and a future 1st as per the Age?

Melbournes unsung Mark Maclure.

He owned the Tower at the same time didn't he 

Outside of the obvious salary smoothing this is a great thing to do for the clubs culture…I can’t help but be in awe of the culture this club is continuing to build - this is a great resigning that only enhances the demons culture 

They say culture starts at the top….we all know it started awhile ago but i reckon Kate is doing some incredible things….

Yes, they all have family in Perth. The future 1st has future cousins apparently in Fremantle.

My man!

What a journey Tommy has been on.

CHB in a struggling team
Swing man in a rising team
Main forward target in a Prelim team
Massive contract
Drops of the face of the earth in a struggling team
Injury
Return to form in a dominant team, first as the main man, then as a 2nd banana to Sideshow Bob in a meat and 2 veg arrangement
Now another contract
Premiership?

Here's to a couple more years of the meat and 2 veg show.

 

Good stuff. Even if he is cooked by that last year, it smooths the salary out and sets us up to have a real crack for the next few years.

Jones is the only player on our list to have played 200 games. His 200th was in late-2015.

Bernie Vince played his 200th game for us in 2017, but obviously they weren't all with us. 

I think, prior to Jones, the last MFC player to get to 200 games for the club was Brad Green in 2010.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
