MELBOURNE veteran Tom McDonald has secured another deal for 2025.

McDonald, who turns 32 next week, has been in talks to extend for another season in recent weeks.

The Victorian is now finalising a deal to play on for a 15th season with the Demons

 

Not yet official but seems close. 

Same article also says we’ve not offered Tomlinson an extension yet, and that Hore also has to wait to see if we extend him. 

Good on him, he worked for it. Gives us another year's cover for the younger brigade (whoever they are ...).

 

Absolute no brainer. Tommy just played his most consistent season since arguably 2018. With Tomlinson likely St Kilda bound, Adams still developing and Turner's new role in the forward line we need all the tall defensive depth we can muster.

This will also give him a decent chance at 250 games next year as well which would be a terrific achievement and well deserved.


Good news. Had a great season and is a leader we could absolutely use around the club. 
 

Likely top half dozen in the Bluey this year.  Just reward for a great servant.

TMac extension well deserved 


Seems as if Tomlinson will go and personally I wouldn’t extend Hore, too slow when he gets the ball to make a decision and not good enough against better teams.

Club has offered another 3 tonnes of radox and 124 tubes of voltaren!!!  Definitely just one more year and that’s it. !!!! 

The guys had a good year, give him a break & stop being so miserable 

Good onya TMac

Best comeback since Lazarus!
Was outstanding all year in defence.

 


Wonderful clubman, always gives 100%.

Really surprised me this season, determined young fella is Tmac. Totally good decision. Tomlinson needs a reset, so often he has a great return game into the side, and you think why did we drop him previously, and then the follow up game he doesn't deliver enough and becomes a bit of a liability. Really yoyo's on form. Tmac has been consistent when injury free. So I get the club's decision.

Well done TMac the extra year is well earnt he was back to his best this year and provides valuable depth and experience for our younger brigade.

He’s a bloody legend.

His commitment has never been questioned and should hold down a spot down back next year 

I thought he was gone after last years final series but gees he proved me wrong down back.

Every Hore has/plays a role. 😜

TMac is one of footy's great stories, going at pick 53 or so in the draft, overcoming challenging foot injuries and reinventing himself at both ends of the ground over the years. Good on him!

  • Demonland changed the title to TMac Re-Signs for 1 Year
 

He had a very tough preseason but managed to play very well. Happy for him. I’m 99% sure Maxy would’ve been in his ear to play on.

Fun fact:  Both Tom and Oscar McDonald were selected at pick 53 in their respective drafts.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
