I think he is a VFL footballer at best. Helbig had more upside. Hell even Weberley.
He is overweight for an AFL footballer and has no real weapon.
I know we all want to see something in some of our two's players but IMO it's not Matt.
Just my take and would be over the moon to be wrong!!

Helbig had absolutely no upside and Webberly was one of the worst recruits in our history. McDonough is positively Rioli-like compared to those two.

The highlight of Webberley's career was getting subbed off in 2nd quarter against the gold Coast in Cairns.

I probably wouldn't use him as an example

Yep - the first and I think only non- injured player to ever be subbed off before half-time, if nothing else you could say he made history.

Let's be honest you probably idolized those two while they were on our list. Now they are gone they were the worst recruits in history.

What do you see in McDonough?

Donut looks a natural inside mid who can play. He now looks like a man - I did not notice he is fat, yet he looks less of a boy. Watching yesterdays third quarter: I though I can see how donut used to get 35 possession games in the juniors.

On the back of the vfl game: I also reckon Lennon and Lambert are best 22 players, so what would I know?

On helbig, I liked him. He reminded me a bit of vlastuin. I am not sure if morris, hunt, grigg are any better than Dea or McDonough. I am just hoping donuts is not delisted, without getting a decent go. Like helbig. More so when there is a fleet on senior blokes the selection panel favor that are questionable

Well that's pretty condescending and immature, though true to form for you, to suggest that but anyway...apart from his good footskills and footy smarts, not much actually, I agree that he's slow and I doubt he can be the clearance player at AFL level that he is at VFL level...but you said he was worse than Helbig & Webberly - which he clearly isn't. Would still like to see him given a decent  run of games as a midfielder/hff...

It was suppose to be condescending so I'm glad you got that. I'd like to be more immature too but I don't think I need to put everyone else through that.

Just my take and would be over the moon to be wrong!!

I think his weapons are his kicking and footy smarts. Both are enough to ensure he makes it given the opportunity.

Agree hes a bum. Whats the odds on us keeping him for another three yrs rather than making a call that should be made. small player 3rd yr struggling with obvious deficiencies usually equates to havent seen enough too hard to make a call give him 3 yrs to be sure..

AHH the merry go round.  it isnt changing. false hope, over rating performances, no substance. BUT we will win a flag with these blokes in 2 or 3 yrs time.hhhhaaaarrrrgggghhh

You forgot to say the player is ONLY in his 3rd year and that he has been played down back at first even though he was a natural half forward.  Then he has been played on ball and then down forward. There is this belief that you are not allowed to play them where they played their best footy as youngsters at our club…….There are also some guys that are late bloomers.  There is also the fact that it is difficult to play good footy as a youngster when the VFL ring ins you play with are below standard and turn the ball over consistently to our opposition…...
