TOUGH Newtown & Chilwell midfielder Matt McMahon says he is honoured at being part of the final squad of 25 for Vic Country’s clash with Vic Metro on Sunday.
McMahon, who has been one of the most consistent players in the GFL in recent years, has his fingers crossed he will be part of the final 24, along with Eagles teammates Paul Hinkley and Rob Condy, Geelong West-St Peter’s skipper Chris Moreland and Colac young gun Campbell Floyd.
“You go up there (to Melbourne) to train and the quality of players that you are training with, it’s pretty good to be around those guys and to be seen in the same sort of calibre as those players, it’s a big honour,” McMahon told K rock Football.com.au
“And to be running out with a couple of really close mates of mine would be just a great experience.”
After defending the honour of country football as part of the GFL’s win over the metropolitan-based Eastern league, McMahon is keen to do it again with a Big V on his jumper.
“That’s all a part of pulling on the jumper and something that’s really exciting,” he said.
Sunday’s match will be played at Preston City Oval from 2pm.
