Matthew McDonough [merged]

Cameron Ling was fat and slow but made himself a player. Too early to jettison the Donut just yet. Needs to keep working hard and he may make it.

I'll take solid, reliable players like McDonough over enigmatic players with "tricks" like S.Edwards anyday...

Where do we play McDonough ? Doesn't look like a small forward to me ?
Oh and Edwards played well on the weekend.

I'll just go and pick one of those ideal small forwards from the tree out the back

there was a tree full  in the nd to pick from as well. we just adore our hacks.

He looks like a potential Chris Naish type player to me.  Very good kick at goal and has footy smarts.
I think he would make an excellent half forward.  His major deficiency still seems to be concentrating on what to do when he hasn't got the ball - things like tackling, shepherding, blocking etc etc.

Bingo for the bold bit; it's what I noticed on Saturday 

Regarding your comment about the possibility of him being a good HF, that's the problem as I see it.

There are a number ahead of him at the minute because defensively they are not so reactionary. Currently, I cannot see him dislodging Jake, S Edwards or even Lloyd from the round 1 side. Especially now they seem intent on playing (resting) our mids up forward (eg Cotch, Lids)

FFS even WP can see that our mids should be kicking 50+ goals and winning Colemans

The SEN reporter reviewing the game praised McDonough's game. For those who saw the game, would you have him in our round 1 side?

Madonna goes alright, give him some game time to get his poo together.

Thought he was fantastic today. Has a good football brain and good skills.  Took a ripper mark at one stage and then landed on his back. Thought he hurt himself but got up and just dusted himself off.
Overall a great performance from a very promising youngster.

[Smokey]

I was fairly impressed with his game vs Colonwood so it's certainly good signs if he's gone well again.

 Donut man was very good.
Commentator mentality continually descrbed him as not having athletic body.
stuffn Shitmen. 

[Owl]

Chapman doesn't have an athletic body either or Garry Ablett senior but gee they were pretty stuffing good players

Ironically, he played a shorter mans version of CHaplins game
