James Mcdonald signs at GWS as a assistant coach/player. Played 16 games in 2010 for an average of 94. Obviosuly not expecting those numbers but anyone giving him a look in? obviously at his age number of games he will play is the biggest issue. A bit to risk for me but what are your thoughts...

[Cicjose]

will coach half a season, play half a season as a tagger and will probably average 65-70

[MTTY]

Well i'm all about risks in DT, i think i may take it for the first few rounds then upgrade him when his price takes a few rises. Is my favourite Melbourne player of all time.

[fran]

yeh as i said role too uncertain for me at this stage. Estimate price? by my guess just under 200k at about 180k

I reckon watch his pre-season.... If he looks half decent I'll definitely be on.

[Nieso FC]

No

Surely he wont be anywhere near $200k, hasnt played for a year and his last year wasnt exactly on fire 10 games @ 70

But even at premium rookie $150k odd he would be too expensive for me

[PowerBug]

Might look at him like i did with Harris this year. Bit more expensive but has experience so will be given the ball more often.

He averaged 94 across 16 matches...

You're thinking about the spud the mighty Lions traded away.

[SydneyRox]

You are right, too fast fingers clicking!!

[Grazz]

At this point in time im open to all options. You gotta watch everybody.

If he's the "go-to" man in the GWS backline you've got to sit up and pay attention.  NAB cup set-up will tell us alot.

[Flemo]

James McDonald was an unselfish player and absolute champion. He will do whatever is best for GWS but that will probably include getting the younger players involved more and his stats will suffer.

If GWS get Chad Cornes then that would be slightly more interesting because Chad with his brother Kane always hogged the ball and had competitions who would get higher stats.

yeah it will all depend on when he will play and what his price is, loving the comaback either way!
