Anyone think McDonough is a chance to play round 1 after picking up 21 possies, 5 marks and kicking a goal yesterday?

Was really impressed with his game.  Ran hard, got plenty of the ball, made good decisions, used the ball well and looked quicker than I thought he was.  Very happy with his game yesterday.

Yep really had a dip and seemed involved in a lot of plays. I loved the way he slotted the goal, looked like a natural which we all know he is from his junior days. Spent time playing on Elliot who is a slippery customer, would have taken plenty out of yesterday.

Just about to sit down and watch the replay

But based on what I saw at the game yesterday; it would be a NO from me

Just a couple of things defensively left me doing this  :huh3

But having said that will watch the replay and see if it changes my thoughts  ;D

1/ who's spot would he take. They had playing HB for most of yesterday and I think there a blokes ahead of him there and up forward I think he is way down the pecking order. And in the middle would think Miles for one would be way ahead of him

and

2/ there were a couple of times yesterday when he just didn't work hard enough when he didn't have the ball, couple of chases he didn't attempt or go hard enough in = hate seeing blokes jogging when they need to be sprinting (and yes that is a massive bug bear of mind)

But as I said will watch the reply and have a better look

You mean when he as playing back in defence where he doesn't belong?

Pretty sure he wouldn't spend much time there if selected come round one, though you never know with Hardwick and his obsession with chucking players in the backline to "work on their defensive side" because apparently it's the only part of the field where you can learn how to defend.

Your mail is a bunch of horse poo dude. I am pretty sure they haven't picked the round 1 team yet FFS.
