McDonough to Adelaide rumour
« on: October 11, 2014, 06:23:47 PM »

I've heard McDonough back to Adelaide on the cards

That trade has the potential to bite us in the anal region.

Perhaps - I don't mind him smokey and what disappoints me is we haven't played him in the position he played to a pretty high standard in juniors - small forward more in the LeCras way rather than your standard FP type. I would have liked to see him play half a season in our forward line before making the call.

Not if it enables us to get Harrison Wigg.

Also could be trading McDonough to Adelaide. Our 2nd + McDonough for Adelaide's 2nd and 3rd picks.

so we get a slightly upgraded second rounder and pick 47??.
theres two ways mcdonough can go. bust and we get nothing ,  there are plenty who dont rate him. or we can salvage something by quickly off loading him, he cost what pick  42 or 43 so we break even and start again.
correct me if im wrong but he wants to go home doesnt he. if not this yr then next we will lose him anyway.

That rumoured trade would look like this:

Richmond gains picks 31 & 50
Adelaide gains pick 33 & McDonough

So effectively we'd be trading McDonough for pick 50. That would practically be giving him away for nothing. Pass!

I'd be demanding at least a straight swap for their second round pick (#31) otherwise what's the point of doing a trade if there's no real gain for us in return. McDonough has not made any noises about wanting to return to his home state.

 I suppose it comes down to how highly you value/rate McDonough.

What did he costs us originally? What pick was he?

I'd say he isn't worth much more than a 3rd rounder. Deal also moves us ever so slightly up in the draft, which is good.

I'd do the deal. IMV pick 50 for him sounds about right

Agree has never had any pace. Knows how to play but lacks a couple of yards.

I wouldn't take that either MT. From what i saw of our twos this year he seems to be a very natural footballer. Clever, balanced and good skills. I remember a moment in one of the twos games, when he took a nice mark on the lead in one of the later games and slotted it from 50 in a tricky breeze. Granted, it is only one moment but the fluidity in his marking and kicking action made me think he has some real class about him. Whether he has enough class to make up for his small frame and lack of pace remains to be seen, but I would want more than what Adelaide are offering.
