Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I actually thought he was just starting to get into the game and showing something when he was taken off

Showed some great defensive ability and courage when he spoilt a certain N Riewoldt mark. Was one of my highlights for the game

Hope people stop asking for him to be played now, happy to be proven wrong but just appears to be out of his depth

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Pretty sure it was MnM a few years ago mentioned how hard it was for players to adjust to the much higher speed, pressure n tempo of AFL footy after spending a long period in the magoos.
Madonna looked n played like he was a half yard off the tempo at times n no surprise really, would be happy enough to see him get a handful of games in a row, just so he knows he's got a bit of time n space to adjust up to his best potential. At the bottom end of the twenty two to take the field n I've seen worse games by fringe players.
He did manage a bit of midfield clearance work n I reckon he got torched by Jaaack once when he could have run onto a loose ball in the forward line n just flowed in for a shot, where Jaaack charged out from goal n then had to loop around n drive the ball to a target. Have to watch the replay tomorrow n get a better look.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Yeah, I'm still seeing enough to suggest a future is there. Must finish off others work. That snap should be his bread and butter.
Has courage, has smarts, has a great shoe. Enough to work with. Should get picked in front of Newman for the rest of the year.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
We should let him have a run of games to find his touch
At least until edwards comes back
