It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

McDonough provides another defensive running option. "He has unbelievable skills," Hardwick said. "He came here as a half-forward/full-forward type, [but] we are hoping he can stake the step down back, which frees up Dustin Martin and Bachar Houli to rotate through."

Ironically, he played a shorter mans version of CHaplins game
chapman is actually a shorter player ox.

still not sure about this kid i certainly am yet to see why he gets all the love he does.
Were you there today claw?
I was and I can tell you the kid can play. Probably needs one more year of development but is ok to play seniors if today was any indication.
nope not there. havent even seen a clip from the game.
not wanting to knock him but theres something that bugs me about mcdonough. without seeing him i cant put a finger on it.  i did have some concerns when we took him but wont go there. as you say he deserves some time to iron out any deficiency he may have and it may be he just needs more time to develop.

Maybe watch a player before making a call?

....now theres a thought.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Was really impressed with Donut's game. Had a lot of the pill and was very clean, often in pretty tight situations. Took a gutsy mark with the flight too. Looks a natural footballer to me.
Sneaky chance for Round 1.

Maybe you can't put your finger on it because....you haven't seen him....therefore for you don't know what it is you can't put your finger on....

I've a suggestion where you can stick your finger  :o
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

was you there tony. have i made a call seems i must have somewhere.  :o. maybe you shouldnt be such a literal smart arse.or  maybe i should have said without seeing more of him i cant put a finger on it. didnt think one would have to be so literal, and others had some modicum of intelligence. i keep on forgeting there are some who just arent that smart and need everything spelled out for em.

just to spell it out  tony as it seems  you need the help. ive seen mcdonough play i just didnt see the ess practice game. i was asked if id seen the game and  said as much. i cant be more up front than that. 
what i have seen of him theres something  not right but i cant put my finger on it yet.  you can bet your bottom dollar i will though. 

 but hey!!!  all things are right with our players right?people cant see things that may bug em right?

so many dick heads on this site.
