Kobe McDonald: Teenage phenom on Mayo's All-Ireland glory, and setting his AFL sights high

McDonald doesn't want to 'just blend in' at St Kilda. 'That's not my nature,' he said. 'You obviously strive to be the best, strive to be one of the best at least'

Kobe McDonald reckons that 'a lot of Australians probably don't give me a chance' of making it in the AFL with St Kilda.

But the Mayo phenom, and freshly minted All-Ireland medallist, is looking forward to the opportunity to prove people wrong and noted that he isn't the sort of character 'to go there and just blend in'.
