James McDonald joins GWS

[DeeZee 7,363]

Junior has just joined GWS in a role as player mentor.

It's only a very minor role.

He is mentoring the 3 Victorian pre-selected GWS players that are choosing to stay in Victoria for their schooling before moving to NSW next year.

He's not an assistant coach and there is no mention of him taking on a greater role in 2012, although that may eventually be the case.

Tomorrow's news: RUMOUR- Sheedy offers James McDonald 15 million a year to come out of retirement and captain GWS!

Maybe he can talk Tom Scully into staying away from GWS after spending a year involved!!

Post it on Bigfooty and read about it in the HS tomorrow.

Good on Jnr getting the gig.

I'm really sick of hearing about GWS on a forum about the Demons.

Its a 2 way street Maybe Junior can coax a few to return back to Vic

He wouldnt jump ship that quickly.

Could not think of a better character for a new club. Congrats to JNR and I hope they take good care of him. I can see JNR moving into the asst coaching ranks in the near future.

This.

I'm glad Junior hasn't been lost to the AFL in general. Surely they'll be looking at him as a specialist tackling coach? I know I would be.

I might be reading way to much in to this, But could there be any chance that it is a bit of a lure tactic to help secure cully? I know McDonalds role at the moment is small but GWS could see it as a chance to improve their chances of signing Scully, who im sure looked up to and respected McDonald. I was thinking it is slightly similar to the Nathan Ablett scenario at GC, but yes is quite different.

Jnr is a very busy man

Might be good to have a friend on the match review committee

Maybe the match review panel are trying to recruit Scully and reckon Junior could help??

I wonder if this means Moloney will stop being suspended for failing to make contact with people's heads.
