Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I said I expect him to be traded not wanted him to be traded.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
He has some value. He has been one of the best forwards in the last month of the VFL comp.
Hasn't had any major injury worries to speak of, has some senior games under his belt.
If one of the Port clubs really want him it is plausible we will get a pick in the 30's as a trade, or could possibly upgrade one of our picks.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Good VFL form doesn't translate to trade value. He's a third rounder pick who's played 5 games of AFL in two years. I really rate Madonna, but unfortunately his open market trade value won't even see us break even. I think he'll get us pick 50.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
It comes down to how much other clubs rate him, and I'm willing to bet most would see more upside in him than your dime a dozen star VFL inside mid.
He has traits that set him apart from VFL standard which he's displayed consistently for two years. Elite, I mean elite, foot skills, great hands, good evasiveness, good footy smarts... You can't buy that stuff cheap.
A pick in the 30s is not unrealistic.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Is he definitely gone? Wouldn't the retirement of another veteran player present an opportunity with someone with McDonough's talent? I agree that if he wants to go home, you can't stop him, but you can make whoever he goes to pay for it.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
But if he wants to go back to Adelaide then some power swings back to us as he lands in the draft and could go anywhere

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Disagree, I don't think of itself, it means much. We have only just re-signed Griffiths, McBean and Astbury and they would be a far more required players than McDonough. The club is working it's way through the list and it will be resolved before the deadline, which I think is end of October sometime.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
If we lose Madonna I'll be very
We toss Madonna out and bring in Newman who does sweet FA except fall over!
Newman announces he is staying and Madonna is right to feel his chances are best served elsewhere because Newy will always get games ahead of him even when it is clear Madonna is the better form player!
Newman is cooked, on the wane, past his peak and in 2016 will be gawn but what do we do...hang on to him cause he is a 'nice guy'
Madonna is a promising youngster on the up and in 2015 will be right to go yet i looks like he will now seek somewhere else!
Unfortunately, its the Richmond way...
