Past #42: Scott McMahon - club won't renew contract (29/9) & Loose retires (13/10) - thanks Loose

[Twinkletoes]

It's obviously a lot worse than hives. Heard on the grapevine it's more like chronic fatigue or glandular fever

According to reports he looked fine training with the main group on the field this week, so I wouldn't pay too much credence to those rumours.

 

[The Other Dean]

If its chronic fatigue, thanks for coming. I had chronic fatigue years ago and was told it was because I had too much testosterone and it made me bleed easy. After 6 months of visiting all sorts of witch-doctors and the like, I finally got over it by tying a piece of bacon around my neck. Now I doubt Andrew Demetriou and his cronies with their greasy fangs will approve such a device to be worn on game-day, so hopefully it's not chronic fatigue for Scotty's sake.

Would a pork chop do ?

He could drape Boomer over his shoulders.

Enjoyed the captain's none-too-subtle references to "tackling and chasing" in the presser.

Boomer is a deserved club champion and I love the bloke, but those cbf'ed efforts are a cancer. Especially coming from a guy who "sets the standard", as Brad described it.

 

[The Other Dean]

Perhaps he will approve leaches?

I fear him employing them on a regular basis may cloud his judgement on the issue.

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

On holidays?

Retired?

Dead?

3 strikes?

Haven't heard anything from the club for about a month.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Still crook.

Drew mentioned it in an interview on the club site with Darcy and Barrett. He's blown up due to his illness and meds, hasn't been able to train much but is a chance to play VFL this weekend.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

3 strikes?

Club said he had a 2nd hospital visit re hives on 04/05/2012.

Gee that is a pretty good effort by the AFL to get 3 strikes on him for his prescribed and confessed steriod treatment.

Blown up fat?

 

[GarnerSmash]

Blown up fat?

Bloating, but meds can do that. Dish said that he had his illness meds, plus a flu shot and he looked like a front rower.

 

[Mr Reliable]

I saw him at the footy last Sunday. He had a full beard. He also had a hive the size of his head on his neck. It also had a full beard!

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Think there's an african American pr0n star called Mahondiego

 

[year of the roo]

Named for Werribee.

 

[mark73]

Blown up fat?

No, he's actually blown up John Tapp style. They're trying to sticky tape him back together ala Bruce Reid.

Corticosteroids are not anabolic steroids. Nothing to see here, move along.

haha mandingo

 

[Saintly31]

Its a pretty bad illness. No wonder he isn't back yet.

Get well soon Scotty, good on him for fronting up last week even when crook.

 

[scottywiper]

We have a couple of backmen prone to staggering brain farts.
McMahon is the smartest player we have back there, with Grima the other one with real footy smarts.
I reckon we miss McMahon one hell of a lot.

 

[nicko74]

I agree but we need more than Mcmahon. Something isn't quite right at our club. We will probably never know what it is but I just hope the people in charge identify it and do something about it in a hurry before it gets too out of hand.... If it isn't already

 

[TheKanga]

We need to recruit a proven backmen from another club.
It's obviously our weakest area, we leak more goals than GWS.

 

[Old Skool]

Any chance you could find me 2 to 3 McMahons to go in to the midfield?

 

[Tander]

Firrito continually gets caught behind play cause he's watching the game...

Frustrating!!!

 

[roos_fanatic08]

McMahon provides the most leadership down back. We miss him and Rawlings dearly.

 

[Jakesta]

Can someone please tell me why scotty isnt playing?

 

[D23D]

Can someone please tell me why scotty isnt playing?

Ho got severely sick. 'suffered a bout of urticaria' - whatever that is

 

[Kimbo]

Hives.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

I agree he is important to our weak back line. Besides leaking all those goals, our kick ins are so bloody frustrating at times it feels the only way we can get it past the def 50 is via an opposition goal.

Kick ins have been poor since laids. Imagine a fit and firing JWS...
