pick No 51: Dean Macdonald

[Tiger_Stripes]

If we adopt the Colliwobbles 'let's get a new tattoo to commemorate each day' mentality because of him I won't be happy Jan

I see he is already 87kgs so a very well built lad. He is also clearly talented but how is his fitness level?

his best mate who plays with my son for morwell east went for a10k run with him the other day and he told me he was a machine and had no hope keeping up!

 

[Brown Bottle]

Did everyone bag out Dusty about his artwork last year?

 

[Wrenny]

will be the pick of the bunch bar conca

 

[tigerz18]

I hate tattoos fullstop. They smell of w***ery

Take that Dustin Martin!!

Who cares, as long as he kick goals for us, I wouldnt care if he had pink hair with pink boots. Could be a cult hero in the making!

 

[tugga]

Honestly, who cares what a player looks like?
Tatts work OK for Dane Swan too.
Haters gonna hate.

 

[Kegguss]

The Tatts will give Big Ant Studios some more work to do lol.

Excellent.

 

[08yearofthetiger]

very low possesion getter, will need a much greater work ethic in an afl environment to succeed

 

[Greggy]

D-Mac's going to be something if he gets consistency.

 

[DustinOffDaTiges]

After looking at the highlights, the player that came to mind was Jason Porplyzia.

Might be handy if he ends up a taller version of that.

 

[tugga]

Out of all our draftees highlights packages, I like his the best. Smart, clever and looks like he wants to be in the action all the time.

congrats to the dmac was hoping pies wold get him at 45. mate of my sons played footy together morwell tigers from u 10's. easily the best jnr player ive seen in 40years absolute gun, great overhead tough hard and kicks it a mile both feet, by u14's he was already mature bodied and just dominated games wether on the ball chb chf. played a few games morwell seniors this year when power had a bye and dominated i watched him kick 5 on the ball in one game. good luck to dean at the tigers

reminded me a little of dayne beams with the tatts and initially wondered if he followed the pies but his profile says he goes for the saints. looks like we're trying to boost our mids/fowards stakes with D Mac and Helbig.

Wrenny speaks rarely here these days.

NB

 

[Madtiger2006]

watched the extended video and he took some nice overhead marks.
Moves quick too

 

[Toadvine]

After only being in the TAC system for one year and kick over 40 goals as a half forward is very impressive.

He looks to have a fair bit of upside the kid.

 

[tigs2010]

wouldnt it be great if he alone turns out better than Richie!! Then we have the compo pick to add to it

 

[Richo_Daffy]

doesnt he remind anyone of nick davis?

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

"Deans an explosive forward who finished 2nd in the TAC Cup goal kicking with 42. A dynamic and powerful sort of a player who is quick and can play half forward/forward picket and can take a screamer"

Gippsland Power Coach Damien Carroll

sounds and looks alright to me. Big tick

Well said Rusty!
Thought we were drafting footballers and not runway models for Browny's t-shirt company.
If the kid can play and by most reports and the highlights package, he can, we should all be happy to see him ripping it up in a Richmond kit and not being critical of his appearance.
Dusty or Dane Swann's appearance wouldn't appeal to most members of the community, but you'd still want them in your side!

thats exactly what i was thinking, maybe Nick Davis without the softness

 

[Spluff]

Great highlight reel, but it's his worst that's the issue, not his best. Certainly has a lot of potential, but he's also got a lot of risk. I think this one will be a good test for our supposedly improved development team.

The guy is being picked for his goal kicking ability and potential. The greatest risk is not taking a risk. At pick 51, what do you expect?

 

[Tigerland]

Not a fan of tats or 'tramp stamps' but hey it's his body and his $500, none of my business.

I'd be more than happy if he got one that said 'Premiers' in a few years... hell I'd probably get one myself!

 

[McGun]

Awesome set shot, What i like about him his about 10cms taller than Nahas yet he can do all the same things. Expecting a few games next year.
