Review #36: Matthew McDonough

[acr2751]

So we can trade Nahas to GWS for Tyson...

ok now it makes sense

 

[DustinsGuns]

The thing I like about his highlights is that he didn't wait for the ball to come to him once, he always attacked it in the air. I would like to see some more tackling though as apparently it is his weak spot

 

[Rubber Hips]

18 touches and 3.5 goals sounds pretty impressive. Time will tell.

In a game or for the whole season?

 

[Rubber Hips]

Think Paul Chapman.

Yeah...then what

 

[Rubber Hips]

This kid will become a F**** GUN - Make no mistake, I am extremely confident in this selection
Think about it this way the main thing that all small gun fowards need is to be Ugly,Dork looking,Wierd character

Think
Eddie Betts
Stephen Milne
Brett Ebert

****ing gun

 

[nastytiger]

Is he duel sided

 

[3rdManUp]

Interesting too that the RFC website label him as a mid. I forget that the position they play in the unders isn't necessarily the position they would play best at a national level

 

[Damo80]

Two 38 possession games as an inside mid at the champs. Sounds promising. Let's face it, King's in his twilight, and this kid could be a stronger bodied upgrade on Nahas with some time.

[Cevap_Roll]

Hardwick likened him to Paul Chapman.

Wouldn't that be nice

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Think Paul Chapman.

Tooks the words out of Dimma's mouth.

 

[City Search]

Sounds like a gun. Hopefully he can develop into a player that can play midfield in the future.

 

[bigstyletiger]

Footskills in the highlights were a standout. Really excited about this kid. Looks like the perfect high half forward Paul chapman type. Love his build too. Massive legs. Will not get knocked off the ball. Pair him up with kingy to learn the grunt work from - the kid already has the silk.

X factor, even

 

[bollo]

Watching his highlights his foot skills are elite, looks very handy around the goals on both sides

 

[Puntroad]

Solid performance in Sahar... ****, nevermind.

Once is a fluke. Twice is an indication of a real ball seeking missile. Throw in the goals and we could have a real late draft gem on our hands.

 

[UpTheGuts]

Has puppy fat. Once lost, he could prove to be an inspired choice

And a beautiful kick.

Tick

 

[Mr Magic]

Think Paul Chapman.

big call, I am thinking too small but, upgrade on Nahas I will have a look at his highlights before casting unjustified judgement

 

[3rdManUp]

Every time there is a smokey late draft pick I think of Hird. I'm not saying he will be Hird. I just like to remember that it happens from time to time

 

[PHX]

Like the fact he's an inside-mid which should mean he has a strong core and balance as a small forward.

Hopefully can be a Jake King replacement.

 

[Bojangles17]

gee, this kid is a human highlights reel, im looking forward seeing him in Y&B more than anyone, great selection

 

[Riskingheadandshin]

Good size, his judgement of the ball in the air looks first rate. Real penetrating kick too. Knows where the goals are, like the look of him.
Welcome Matt, settle into Melbourne life and play some good footy.

 

[tunksy]

very happy with this. small forward who is big enough and skilled enough to push into the midfield. can win his own ball, finds the goals too. please get foley and king to mentor him.

 

[Toadvine]

big call, I am thinking too small but, upgrade on Nahas I will have a look at his highlights before casting unjustified judgement

He is the same hieght as Chapman
