Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Agree. Dimma wants flexibilty with his players. McDonough might be experimented at hallf back before he ends up settling up forward for the rest of his career. Hence why in the short term the games he plays will be down back.Sintiger said:

Growing with every game. Superb skills. Calm in heat. Powerful overhead as we saw today. He's ready. Just pick him.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Can't see how he will miss round 1. Good against Collingwood and even better against Essendon.
See how quickly things happen, we couldn't find any good kids 5 years ago and all of a sudden we have some of the best, Ellis, conca, big V and this kid isn't fair away either....

This kid has a real footy brain. Some of his decision making and reading of the play looks exceptional for someone with so little experience at the top level.

For those who watched games at Coburg early in 2013 McDonough is almost unrecognisable. He has worked really hard on his fitness clearly.
He looked a long way off AFL physically 12 months ago.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I like a player that knows what to do with the pill as soon as he gets it. Always aware, always thinking about what to do next. Needless to say I like Madonna a lot. He's positively Jack-like in his awareness and smarts. And for now - I'd keep him in the backline. He seems to have grown exponentially as a player back there.

Hmmm. Interesting thought. Another back pocket option I think is what you're suggesting. Cool.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Not now. Not yet. But don't you get the feeling with this kid that he hates to get beaten? I do.

McDonough is a beauty of a footballer. Great disposal!

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I think Morris is our single most underrated player.
Was not beaten by an opponent last year, and is our ONLY small, quick, shut down defender. Attacks the ball like a pitbull with a brain injury, yet rarely gives away free kicks. On top of that, he runs and moves the ball quickly out of the backline and creates when he gets it.
Very little is said about him, but you couldn't ask for more.
Madonna may come into the 22, but it won't be at Morris' expense. His new long term contract underlines just how the coaches view him.
