Great development regime at punt rd under fuckwick.

Newman is the future and the way, not MCDonough

So true

[Judge Roughneck]

I like the cut of his gib. Looks a a player. Seems like he coud compliment miles/vlastuin/dea types well

[WA Tiger]

IMO we need to re-sign this kid. I have a bad feeling that if we trade or delist him he could be one that really comes back to haunt us!!!

What do you base that on?

[tony_montana]

I wanted to give him a bit more of a go, to see what he's got- but if he goes, he goes, stuff him

 He showed enough in the games he played. He has good pace and was near on BOG in the seconds every week. He was also named in the emergencies just about every week, very stiff not to of played more. I just think there is more of an upside to this kid.

Keep. Has beautiful skills and footy nous. Natural footballer.

[mightytiges]

McDonough has the skills and nous with the footy but he should talk to Axel about the training methods needed to add a yard of pace.

Might be a good plan for Axel to mentor McDonuts over the next pre-season (providing they don't flick him which I hope they don't).   I'm with Willy on this, I reckon he has enough good attributes to make it but like you say MT, could do with a tad more pace.

[dwaino]

From what I've seen so far of McDonahue I thought he was just some exposure and experience away from being a player. Would be crazy to chop him given he can play a variety of rolls.

[Phil Mrakov]

I reckon he'll go back to SA. Both clubs keen

[the claw]

im not sure if this kid is good enough long term. not overly keen on him myself   but imo has shown enough to persevere with for another yr.
 like a lot of kids at all clubs  he needs a fair and reasonable  amount of time to show he belongs. in this we would be mad to just cut him.
i would have thought he was safe and the club was doing all it can to sign him on a fair contract.

my thinking is perhaps theres a bit of go home factor here hence hes not been signed.
