Take it easy princess, all I said was "No he's not"
Not like I said "OMG, he's a Saints fan u effin loozer dum "



Edited for deliberately avoiding the swear filter. As mentioned many times the "c" word in any form is unacceptable and wont be tolerated. Also quote edited
Sorry, I wasn't trying to deliberately avoid the swear filter, I was just trying to type it using gen y text speak and didn't look at the post after it went up to see how it came out

maybe the player had the flu, maybe the player had a injury, maybe the players is the next Buddy Franklin  ;D l'm sure you said the same about Franklin, was he on the draft camp stats ??? well crane nose
Do more research you will find somewhere on google that speed is his weapon duh

Just did a quick check and as thought, Dean did not get selected for draft camp in Canberra so very hard to get a place in those lists if you don't compete.

You would have to probably go to club testing to check his speed or lack thereof OR wait and see for yourself.

Thanks for that info Redan, he's hardly gonna make the top 10 if he didn't compete, my apologies to him for posting those results as if he did.

Can I just reiterate that I am excited about him coming to Richmond, I never actually said that he had no speed, as usual TM cherry picked my post to misrepresent me. I think Dean McDonald looks a great prospect, and I'll just say it again, can't wait to see him play in a Richmond jumper

Bound for the big time - Dean MacDonald (Latrobe Valley Express)

MORWELL Tigers footballer Dean McDonald was one of four Gippsland Power players to be picked up by an AFL club in the 2010 national draft on Thursday night.

The 18 year-old was taken by Richmond at pick number 51 and joined former teammates Dyson Heppell (to Essendon with pick 8), Jed Lamb (to Sydney with pick 21) and Michael Ross (to Essendon with pick 80) on an 2011 AFL list.

Morwell Tigers president Daryl Couling described McDonald's drafting as ``a fantastic story''.

``He's come a long way, he hasn't been in the system too long and he's got great ability,'' Couling said.

``He was only with the Power for one year but I thought he would be rookie listed or go late in the draft.''

According to Couling McDonald has the ability but he now needs to learn about what it takes to be an AFL footballer.

``He's lightning quick and he has all the tricks, hopefully Richmond can teach him the discipline and fitness it takes to succeed in that league,'' he said.

Clearly his biggest issue is fitness and he's carrying some puppy fat, anyone can see that
