Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
My goodness, I'd forgotten about the Shane Tuck Award!
Some wonderful winners of the award over the years - Tuck, Foley, et al.
McDonough would qualify.
Miles, based on the 1st half of the season, too.

Not a lot in it on the face of it.
From 11 games this year, 32 year old Chris Newman has average 13 disposals a game and has managed a grand total of 4 goals playing a predominantly attacking role this year.
Still does the odd few good things a game as you'd expect from the former skipper but he's been clearly in decline for a few season's now and is currently having little impact on games.
His leadership is now only of mild importance.
Alternatively 20 year old McDonough may or may not make it over the long term as he appears to have some deficiencies.
However on the back of some strong VFL form this season, the time is overdue where he deserves opportunities to improve at AFL level.
I hope Hardwick is tapping a certain veteran on the shoulder over the break and organising a farewell game.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Me too. It would probably be the final game of the year, although that's in Sydney, so it may be the penultimate round, however the player in question keeps making comments that indicate he's seriously considering soldiering on for another season. If he would come out and say that's he's going to retire at the end of the season or after he reaches his milestone it would be a good thing for the club. They could fire themselves up for that game and commence discussions with the rest of the group about keeping players like McDonough on for the future with a view to developing them. There seems to be a lot of eyes on the present at the club and not too many on the future and that's a genuine concern for the supporters.

I'd rather Newman played next year than we take another rookie on. That's all Newman costs because he's a veteran -- a rookie spot.

Agreed.
No point taking a chance on the next Nipper Miles. Get you nowhere.

Assess each situation as it arises. Different circumstances call for different reactions.
Yep, I've said it before. The club is now gun-shy when it comes to making decisions. Concerned of the backlash from knee jerk actions (ie: sacking coaches), the club has now gone too far the other way.Carter said:
