Last 7 VFL reports for Matt McDonough. Absolutely stuffed up really.
Round 12
18 disposals, 10 contested possessions, 7 tackles
Only played a half of footy and still had 18 touches. Impacted the game in crucial stoppages and played a high level of AFL footy. Another player pushing for senior selection.
Round 11
24 disposals, seven clearances
Played a good game for us offensively. Defensively, he let us down a little bit at times. But he continues to find the ball around stoppages, and some of the work he’s doing in close is AFL standard, we just need to keep his game on the outside coming along.
Round 10
28 disposals, five clearances, three goals
Had his best game for several weeks. Won a lot of ball and also impacted the scoreboard. If he can play like this on a consistent basis, he’s going to be pushing hard for senior selection. It’s the standard that he needs to be at.
Round 8
21 disposals, 12 contested possessions, six clearances
Had a good return for an inside midfielder, as his statistics show – six clearances, five tackles and 12 contested possessions. Our midfield, however, was well beaten by their Werribee counterparts and, unfortunately, we never got going inside. He needs to play better in order to strengthen his claims for a return to the senior side.
Round 7
16 disposals, three clearances, one goal
Played midfield in the first half, and then a little bit down back, before being ‘subbed’ at three-quarter time to be prepared for the AFL as a carry-over player. Was probably a little down on his customary high standard clearance work and competitive work inside. But we expect his form to pick up this week.
Round 6
18 disposals, five tackles
Couldn’t back up his stellar performance from the previous round. Was okay on the night, with a lot of work inside, including three or four clearances and five tackles. Overall, however, we expect more from him.
Round 5
30 disposals, seven clearances, three goals
Played his best game for the year, picking up 30 disposals and kicking three goals. Was very competitive inside the contest, but got plenty of ball outside as well, which is something we have been focusing on with him. Is pushing hard for another opportunity at senior level.
Clearance machine...gets his own ball...kicks goals
Don't know why the hate from some posters here for a guy that is a tigers player...puts in week in week out...is in our bests consistently yet gets overlooked
