Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Yes he took a very good contested mark against the Hawks which made me think that he might be able to play the small defender role. I'm not sure what his pace and agility is like, but if it's ok it would be worth a try. I would like to eventually see him in the midfield though.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
That contested mark showed me why he was such a good mid size marking forward as a junior. Could be our Chris Mayne but we want him to be a running HB. Make sense of that.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
i guess the club thinks that if all our players can play defensively, they will lock the ball in wherever they play.
If they have it we are all defenders
if we have it we are all attacking
PS remember Matts screamer in the prac match against essendon a couple of months ago?

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Maybe a bit smaller than Mayne. But from what i saw of him as a junior, he kicked more of his goals on the lead rather than crumb/snaps so i think he could work in the Mayne mould. Medhurst would be the better example from recent history.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I think if he pans out, he will end up being a bit like Tom Rockliff, who was an undersized marking junior forward, and has now become a gun onballer. I think he'll work his way into the midfield sooner rather than later. I'm a big fan of Plugga.

Yes. The kid can play. Just needs to be given the opportunity to.Eric said:
Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I watched him at Coburg a few times last year as well and his progression from a slightly podgy and unfit recruit to where he finished by year end was impressive. My view is that he will be a good player for us but I would like to see him half forward with stints in the middle rather than halfback.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I'm not sure if remember this rightly, but I think Matt coming on meant that Vlas went into the middle for a period and we were more competitive - I'd be happy with move, leave Matt on the HB line and push Vlas into the midfield.
