McMahon

[Go_Dogs]

So my hatred of Richmond grows, stealing another one of my favorites from right under our nose. This time, not only a terrific player, but a South Aussie, who was a top 10 draft pick.

I can't help but feel we are big losers out of this trade. As poor as McMahon's second half of the season was, he was certainly worth more than pick 18.

Do you think he was pushed? The club wanted him to leave? Richmond were very interested and made an offer Jordan couldn't refuse, or Jordan simply didn't want to play for us anymore?

I need some answers.

I think it's a terrible name for a thread.

It's not overly great but we essentially got Jordan for Hudson and upgraded our 2nd pick. It's not too bad in regards to that.

Sorry for the thread title, if someone can edit it for me - I can only edit the post contents.

I can understand what your saying, and in reality we were probably in a similar situation as Adelaide were with Hudson, so had to get a deal done.

[DOG GOD]

if it was family reasons he would be playing for port power.

he's playing for money reasons and money alone....he can go and play with brown and wallet and hopefully get another wooden spoon next year for all i care.

Need to change your name now McMahon#23 to something else.

[Go_Dogs]

I've already decided upon Stack#33, unless we draft another young SA bloke in the up coming draft. Perhaps Pick#18 in the meantime!

[Dry Rot]

Is there a counter view to all this?

McMahon has been under Eade for three seasons and still not playing like the coach wants, it seems.

With Callan and Hudson (re clearances and tough stuff) Eade is signalling that he wants a tougher more accountable team.

Perhaps Eade is not totally full of regrets?

Its purely for money. Funny Richmond is turning out to be a place for discarded bulldogs
Wallet, Judas, McJudas, Choco, Sullivan......... any one I missed. Another team I really dispise and hate.

[Go_Dogs]

I somehow get the feeling that Eade wouldn't be full of regrets, but he would certainly be disappointed that he couldn't mould Jordie into the consistent player he thought he could and should be.

How good were McMahon's first 2 years under Eade though, they were fantastic.

[Dry Rot]

They weren't totally fantastic - still wasn't a great defensive player.

BTW, if you want a good new user name of a SA player, how about our B&F winner?

Patrick Bowden, Oberon Pierak, Gordon Casey, David Thorpe, Bones McGhie, Michael McKenna, Chris Burton.

Agreed that Jordan still had some weaknesses to his game, he wasn't a faultless performer. He certainly demonstrated some good talent and abilities though, and often broke games open. For mine, his best spot is still on a wing, running forwards, kicking goals and setting them up.

As much as I am a massive fan of Brian's, he's already an established and highly supported player at the club. The reason for choosing McMahon was that I thought he was a bit, 'under the radar' as far as support goes, often missing out on the accolades Morris, Gilbee, etc were afforded.

It appears to have cursed McMahon though, the added pressure of having a screen name in his honor wore away at his confidence as the year progressed. I would hate to do that to someone else. I think Stack will be my man though.

Another Bulldog player who is traded to Richmond for big bucks after playing a very poor last season for the Bulldogs.
