sign him now dont want this kid going back to SA. was very good in the vfl all year and got better as the season wore on. start him as a small forward with stints in the middle at afl level. guy uses ball so well, kicks both sides takes a mark and wins his own ball. and hes a nugget too.
new article on the RFC website, bit of a run down by Tim Clarke on all the youngsters, first up was Matt McDonough.
Shares the same thoughts as Chocco it seems with the Chappy comparison. Would be great if he got anywhere close to that level.
Hopefully he gets a good crack at it next year, possibly taking Whites spot in the side.

I recently met Matt through one of my nephews, he is a very levelled headed young man and he definitely has all of the characteristics and skills to be a more than handy footballer. I think you guys are on to a winner with this one.
My nephew lives in Melbourne and I went over for his Birthday recently and I was chatting away to one of his friends Matt and didn't realise he was on an AFL list. Once I actually found out what his full name was I remembered him from last years draft.Can you elaborate on what the occasion was george2 & cheers for the above post

he will play in the VFL ... he is behind foley and Arnot on the pecking order of things
Wouldn't say he's behind Arnot... They're probably on level pegging going into 2014.
IMO McDonough, Helbig and Arnot are battling for a spot next year
Not sure about there being a defined pecking order. IMO they are different types who aren't directly competing against each other, but for different positions/roles in the side. If you need some pure inside grunt, pick Arnot. If some inside and a bit of outside defensive versatility is required, Helbig is your man. If you require some small forward bite along with attacking midfield assistance, call on McDonough. Just depends on the requirements of the team, and with a bit of luck there is little reason they can't all be playing in the 1st at the same time. At the very least I would expect them to get some games at different times over the next season, depending on who we are playing and what specific traits are required.
You're right, they could all comfortably play in the same 22 without infringing upon each other's positional ownership
Just saying that next year, they're unlikely to all play regular senior football. There's probably only one, maybe two spots for them to fill barring injury of course
Congratulations Matt McDonough , Im really happy to see that he has signed on again and wasnt traded out as i really like this kid and hope he continues to develop into a very good player - I compared him to Chappy 12 months ago but we have seen that the coaches have other plans for him than being a small foward
Alot has been said about this kid Matt McDonogh and alot of people on many forums and at grounds aswell as in pubs are all saying what a smart footballer he is and is a natural footballer thats very quick in the mind and makes good decisions but is slow and is being played out of position by Damien Hardwick.
Most people do agree that he is a natuaral foward withe elite kicking and good hands but feel that he wont make it because small fowards need to have speed, lightening pace - But i would like to think outside the box here alittle and say - No this kid is not a foward and was only played there because of his limited tank and he is actually a midfielder that can play foward and Dimma is just teaching him the HB role to develope his defensive game.
Kamdyn McIntosh is another player that i really cant wait to see playing at the higher level - Kid really has some tools and would love him to replace Grigg in 2 years timeThis preseason is really important for him. I would like him to tear it up in the midfield in the NAB cup and demand games from round 1. His ceiling is much higher than Lloyd's and Gordon's. And how about that kick!? elite. Donuts and Lennon are probably the two I want to see the biggest improvement from in 2015.
