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.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
