Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
You only have to watch vFL for ten minutes to know this isn't true. He has been our best and most consistent footballer all year at that level.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
With a 45 possession, 5 goal game this week he may find himself on the emergency list against GWS.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Tim Clarke's report:
45 possessions and 5 goals in a game that didn't suit small forwards is the minimum we expect from Matt. If he can win 50 and kick 10 every week for the next 3 consecutive seasons, he'll be pushing hard for selection.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
That theory contradicts how others get selected. Lambert the latest. Maybe Dimma & co don't see any special skills in him as Lambert (& Gordon) would bring against the Swans in particular.
Who knows. I'll stick with favouritism....it's an epidemic just about everywhere.

That elevator fart must have been followed by a wet sound, at which point Matty McD used Dimmas trousers as toilet paper.
Sharting is never a good idea in front of the coach.
Especially when the diarrhea smells vaguely like donuts.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
So... Is Mcdonough now our "great white hope who would be the catalyst for us winning every week if we would only select him" guy?
Ok, so Mcbean must have been dropped from the role.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I'm not fortunate enough to watch VFL tigers up here, so ill assume match committee had a reason why they went with lambert instead of McDonough ( to replace Ellis).
Gordon replaces Menadue as far as I can see.
Newman takes over from Morris.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Pretty sure Gordon will be playing Morris' role of defensive maniac.
McDonough can't play that role.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I'd agree with that. We dropped Morris, so someone else has to be a headless chook. If we played McDonough as a small forward he may actually kick a goal.Chimptastic said:
Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I had an exam last night, and when I walked out trying to clear my head, I thought of why Dimma would put Gordon, Newman and Lambert in over McDonough. I was beginning to wonder whether I was out of the mental capacity to process things when I stopped to consider who was dropped.
Morris's role is integral to Dimma's forwardline strategy. Someone has to play that role. McDonough couldn't, he doesn't have the endurance. Gordon has been described as a chaotic runner last year, and unpredictable by the coaching staff. Sounded exactly like Morris to me, only with the fact that Gordon does manage to find a football. The fact he handles it like a piece of soap in the prison showers is a completely different issue. It's the only role I could see Gordon play.
Lambert will come off the bench given his lack of match fitness I think, which means he's replaced Menadue.
That can only mean Newman has been promoted over McDonough. Which is a phooey decision in my eyes. It creates a double standard on what is needed to get out of the VFL. Either McDonough's papers are stamped, or he'll want to leave soon. This is pretty crappy treatment.
