McDonough to Adelaide rumour

[scjhammo]

at the end of the day if these guys arnt getting regular football y hang on to them, he does show a bit but this is his year as he needs to get the hbf spot specially with houil newman grigg pretty much gone shortly

unfortunately the donut is too slow to play off a half back flank

[scjhammo]

well the ones we have running off at moment are no better... that's why we need pace

Which is why the Dea trade is a no-no.

me i was sure he was a smart goal kicking sml fwd who they hoped in time would be capable of going thru the midfield as a part of rotations. have we at any stage played mcdonough as a sml fwd on a consistent basis.
when your not overly quick and only 180cm at afl level you need some outstanding attributes to over come these things.does he.  ive always doubted if he could make it so im not fussed if we trade him out or more correctly he wants to go home.

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

The BF poster who posted the above last week is now saying "there will also be no McDonough trade".

that's correct claw. he came as a forward pocket type.

Just another angle, would the donut have more upside than Newman? he is listed as 2cm shorter and 1 kg heavier. IMO if he is the same speed or faster than newman wouldn't he be a better LTI ??

you have to have depth players. He is much more suited to the small forward role and played his list few games in the vfl there. expect to see him there in 2015 I reckon

getting rid of players like Dea and McDonough whilst signing up and playing a clearly past it Newman is just wrong

No no

Delisting arnot bachelor arnot dea. While retaining Newman Thomas grigg and friends is good listmmanagement

that would depend on strengths weaknesses and  correct role.imean to say newman has only ever been a solid citizen at his best at age 30 something theres no upside to newman. at age 20 odd with the talent to get on a afl list which is an achievment in itself you would hope mcdonough has more upside than newman. if we arent aiming for better we have thr set way too low.
 the trouble here is the role they play. mcdonough cannot play imo hb for many reasons which should be obvious. i would have thought in comparing  players to keep you would judge lloyd against mcdonough.

not yet, point is why sign up newman who should have retired 2 years ago, and look at exploring you guys who are still developing
