Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Matty looked okay at times, but he did have his chances. Likely to get another go elsewhere. To give yourself a chance in the drafts, these days you can't keep players for very long. Cutthroat industry.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Poor condition , never took his chances, and hardly ever in best players in a poor vfl side, De listed is correct call, and maybe this kick will be his making.

I always had a soft spot for maradonna, I had hoped he would come on but this year was disappointing.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Wasn't given any chances this year. Played 2 games, one in Round 4 and one in Round 16, one he was sub and played barely a quarter, the other he played 3/4s game time. Hard to understand why he was kept on the list for this year when it is clear from early on that he wasn't going to be given an honest chance.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I think this is a fair assessment. He did not show enough in the VFL. If you keep playing these guys in the seniors, you lose games.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Not really a fair assessment, particularly the part about him hardly being in the team's best players. Was named in the best in 5 of his last 6 games, 6 of the last 8. Also saw a couple of his later games and he was good. You wonder how many making comment actually saw any games or where their opinion is coming from.

Simply, he wasn't rewarded for his consistency this year but it was clear his papers were stamped earlier in the season. Why play him ahead of Morris?

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Ah well, was never played in his natural position in the forward line nor given an extended opportunity at AFL level. Playing a quarter or two here and there in the back pocket doesn't give you much of a chance to cement a position. Move on though. I hope he gets a chance somewhere else, good luck in the future Matty.
Yep, those saying he didn't perform at VFL level obviously didn't see many games.tigerlove said:

Thanks for that leon, stupid enough to go back for a second look wondering what the hell I'd missed FFS :-[.leon said:

Modern footy has ruined these types of players.
Coaches like Dimma think they need 16 mids to rotate through the guts.
West Coast still plays Le Cras. Fremantle play Walters. Hawthorn play Poppy, Cyril and Breust.
Madonna was unacceptably fat but he was never played in his natural position.
I'm over Dimma's treatment of these blokes. Lennon still undecided and Hawthorn into McBean.
