Nice interview. Is it just me, but does he talk a little like Ben Brown - somehow slower and considered?

The other guy sounded like 17 year old Lachie Hansen

 

[The Nostradamus]

Keen to see this guy develop
Low risk high reward

Can keep as a CAT B rookie for 3 years

 

[giantroo]

Can be a weapon if he can put some bulk on.

 

[Uber Roo]

Isn’t Judas Blakey similar dimensions?

Northern Drawl.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Located my videos of Matt from the 2018 Championships

Reminds me of someone I went to school with, without the Mullet though.

 

[RobZombie]

Northern Drawl.

Clarence Boy, isn’t he? Or does that count as northern for you Kingborough types?

Nah, I've just always heard the drawl called the Northern/Launceston drawl down south.

Pretty sure McGuiness is from around the same distance south as me lol. I'm in the Glenorchy municipality.

The kid's a nice mover, but still has a power of work in front of him with the knife, fork & weight room.

Interview with Matt

I actually can’t hear a word of that. Have tried through speaker & headphones.
Does he say anything interesting?

 

[giantroo]

 

[Snake_Baker]

Well, he's going to take a while.

I just hope the kid gets continuity.

Oh to be of a bodytype and stage of life where you could work the KFC menu end to end and still not budge your belt.

It's great until you realise you're not as young as you used to be and you have skinny legs, no arse and a rapidly developing pot belly. Apparently.....

 

[The Nostradamus]

I like that we have seriously bolstered our kpd and gave many on the list across different age groups
Walker and McGuinness now we have ready made and developing KPD added

 

[King Corey]

McGuinness doesn't strike me as a KPD.

Tall athletic third type at the least
Then eventually chb

Tall athletic third type at the least

That's how he projects imo. All footage I've seen of him as been as a rangy rebounder.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Could be an intercept marking type. The new age KPD.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Is he related to the Morton's?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Could be an intercept marking type. The new age KPD.

Yep
Going forward the lumbering gorilla KPD or KPP will be no more

Athletic talls the key so keen to see how this guy goes after a couple of years development

I just don't wear a belt

Comments from Talent Manager Craig Notman

MATT McGUINNESS (NGA rookie signing by North Melbourne): “The most impressive thing with Matt is he returned as a 19-year-old this year and made the most of the opportunity. I don’t think he had a bad game over the course of the season. He found plenty of the footy, uses it exceptionally well by foot and has some really good footy smarts.

“I think he showed this year that he can play a number of different roles, but he played predominantly back for us and I think we saw his best footy as a defender. A half-back role suits his strengths.”

Won tassies players player award and also won back of the year for tassie
