Matthew McDonough [merged]

Contested well, but then watched the next contest while scraping himself off the ground. Good lesson in backing up each effort straight away.

Claw you cant let up.you have to sink the boots in ,on a player who has had a ripper of a year.hes a club favourite for a reason

[RollsRoyce]

Agree. If that is all McDonough had to show today, then I honestly don't know what all the fuss by some on here to give him a game was all about. Did zilch. I would rather see McBean play. We really missed Matty White's run today too, I don't care what anybody says.

It was Macs first game..did you expect 30 possies and bag of goals?

[Andyy]

Glad he got a taste, but back to the seconds for me. Not done and dusted for good though.

White is better, and Tuck should never have been sub behind this kid.

[🏅Dooks]

One more game for me - so he can see how the youngsters play at gws and what its like when we arent dictated to - basically get some touch and confidence

Yes I did. Donuts!!!!! 

Hardly did worse than Flossy's first game and was better than Bootsma.

No!

Of course not. I just expected him to do SOMETHING, not absolutely nothing.

Set up the first goal of the game. 

[DCrane]

All of his kicks today were panic bombs, which is understandable for a first gamer.

[Golfprotiger]

Anyone know who presented him his jumper?

[WilliamPowell]

game seems to be too quick for him at this stage.

Agree perfect summation Ramps

[Tigeritis™©®]

By the looks of it his kicking isn't one of his assets.

Rushed a lot of kicks, is he a lefty? He used the left a fair bit today.

Still much better than Nahas.

Yes he is.

you'd think that some you blokes have never seen a kid play their first game and struggle with the increased tempo.

How many times have we heard someone interviewed after their first game and comment on this?

amazing stuff.
