Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
One of the better kicks on the list.
Given our problems with turnovers and maintaining possession, would have thought he had something to offer.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Look he might not have made it, but he did what the coaches asked of him at VFL level and rarely let them down.
Natural forward who played half back and inside mid.
Why was he not given an extended run at half forward in the firsts. Lennon finally got one and showed his strengths (and faults).
Yet we wasted dozens of games playing Gordon and Morris in his position. Two blokes who cant get it as much or use it as well, Does your head in really!

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Yes it is staggering.
Always thought he had the skill set to develop into a handy player.
When you consider some who are still on the list with deplorable skills all you can do is shake your head in disbelief.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Obviously the term "natural footballer" needs some explanation. On it's own it's just not enough. Perhaps he didn't train hard enough to build speed, strength and endurance? Perhaps he didn't show enough desire to be the best he could be at VFL level to warrant more games in the faster pace AFL? What were his stats for the year? If he couldn't dominate at VFL then how can he hold a place in AFL? How was his defensive game?Kaelan said:

Manpower unused and unknown (convincingly).
Given the universally proclaimed poor draft this coming crop, surely will be considered for a rookie. I am just not really sure whether he could make it or not for all the reasons given her. Has he ever had a real go in his best position, for a run of games. I saw him play. Yes he wasn't a stand-out but not terrible, but was invariably dropped next week. Dimma et al are almost unfathomable on some players. Just wonder if we could also have played either Thomas or Arnott on Jacobs last week and reversed the hard-tag (instead of Conca).evo said:
