I still reckon McDonough has the attributes to make if he's given a fair crack at it.

Not a huge fan myself. Lacks speed and awareness.

But I'm happy to be proven wrong in time

It's so interesting what we all see, I see awareness as a strength of his and has around average speed.

Thought he went ok for his first game in a long time. Like Lennon, wasn't used as much as he should but loved his courageous spoil against big Nick :clapping Won the clearance the first time he started in the middle :whistle held his nerve to taken a great mark with opposition bearing down :thumbsup and drilled a fantastic 35 m pass on his left side to a team mate who didn't break stride. As Dimma said it takes time to adjust to the speed of AFL and I think he went ok. Hope he plays this week.

With you WP, also happy to be proven wrong, are these players given KPI's and judged based on their achievement levels??

Was happy with the things he did but he will need to do more of them going forward.  I would be really disappointed (and sceptical) if he got dropped after that one game.
