Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
I agree - on top of our own senior and rookie list players, it will be vitally important that our VFL side is made up of a couple of recently delisted/retired AFL players, the best younger players that just missed being drafted and other talented State League players (from other States as well as Victoria) that want to show their wares. If you go back to when we used to have a reserves team, it always fell apart when we had a run of injuries to senior list players.
We can't let that happen this time. Indeed we should make it a proving ground for lots of younger players.
On the original topic, McDonough will be a player but is no where near AFL fitness yet. He's one for next year for me after a big (and much needed) pre-season. Once fit, will burst onto the scene - old fashioned, hard nosed footballer.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Our VFL side will be OK. You'll have some reliable senior citizens and you'll find the odd recent delist like a Ben Ross or Wayde Skipper or Valenti plus juniors that have just missed being drafted will join with a view to promoting themselves in an AFL environment, plus as we get stronger our depth players will be a higher quality.
I've enjoyed the experience of old fashioned footy experience at Coburg but its way past time for our own side in the VFL.

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Does anyone know for sure if McDonough is injured or not?
He is not on the RFC injury list (I realise it is behind the times sometimes); plus there was no mention of an injury to him in the Coburg report; plus didn't he play on after hyper extending his knee?
Yet he is not named in either the 1s or 2s - which makes it seem likely that he is injured.
Does anyone know for sure what the story is - rather than conjecture?

C'mon Barnzy, get it right.
It's the Madonna farce!

Re: Welcome Matthew McDonough at pick 42
Love to see every first year player have a go at some stage (in their first year) but unless he rips it up in the 2nd half of the year at Coburg, lets be patient and just let the kid develop. No rush.

On that chocco cub video on the website.
Seen a couple, he's normally pretty critical but was full of praise for him.
When White inevitably has a poor game in the next few weeks this kid should get a crack. Coburg form has been pretty good I think.

'Wouldn't have thought so.' :hihi
Barnzy this isn't about Whitey or King for that matter, you were trumpeting all pre season how good Nahas was and how he was a 30+ goal kicker etc.
It's a classic look over there at the unwrapped comment to take away from the fact you've backed yet another spud.

I'll wear McGuane Scooper. Always liked his attitude despite his obvious shortcomings.
