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

[Ry009]

Funny bloke, nice bloke, switched on bloke.

Oh. and a pretty handy footballer too. Whatever he does after footy he'll be successful at.

Well done on a great career Loose!

I think he'll make an excellent coach in time

Player manager Michael Doughty, of Elite Sports Properties, expected Essendon to recruit mature footballers with AFL experience.

He identified Sturt’s Brodie Martin, Scott McMahon and Aidan Riley, North’s Matt McDonough and Central’s Nick Holman as players who met that criteria.

No no no no

When they media outlets started to discuss the thought of the need of mature bodies McMahon was immediate the one I thought of........he should play for the *EFC. Sure he is past his best use-by date (@ AFL level ) but he is exactly what they need as a band-aid measure for 12 mths. He lines his pockets better than what he'd received from lower level football >>>>> so why not.

because he is better then that.

Would be hilarious.

Think of it as a financial situation for a player of his standing .....not as a Nth Melb person. I personally don't know what opportunities he has at his disposal. Time will tell. I mean if they offer decent coin only he will decide.

 

[hilly]

He's entitled to play for whoever he likes.

Yep. If Essendon were offering anyone on this board a 6 figure pay rise I'm sure they wouldn't think twice.

not sure I would sell my soul, but continue with speaking for all of us.

sorry I should have put a on the end. Scottie is entitled to do what he wants, not sure playing at * would be the best for him.

[Greater Gattsby]

I'd rather play for Sturt than * too

Congratulations to Scott McMahon - named in the bests for Sturt in their win over Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL GF. Well done, Loose!

 

[Roozee]

Congrats to Scotty. Late in the last quarter he took an Eagles forward thrust thwarting mark and the camera panned to a couple of old Sturt ducks in the crowd who could be seen to mouth the words "He's been good. He's been very good". A glowing endorsement for him.

In a post-match interview he said it had been a long time since he had played in a premiership. Ummmm.....Scotty.....that's because you were playing for North Melbourne! Geez, he looked like he'd aged a bit though!

 

[BlueRoos]

For an Eagle supporter, it stings a bit more that Loose helped beat his old club. He certainly had a good year though, full credit to him.

 

[arch11]

As a Sturt supporter it is one positive out of what has been a pretty disappointing year footy wise. Scotty played a great game and fully deserved a premiership medallion. Nice bloke and great club man at North and am sure will be no different at the double blues

 

[Roozee]

Also congrats to Marty Mattner. The perfect start to a coaching career!

I'm nominally a Sturt supporter too, due to maternal grandparents who were avid fans up till their death. Haven't been monitoring the SANFL (or WAFL) this year, so this is pleasant news to hear, even more so because Loose is there. Bmac to go back and join him?

 

[Roozee]

Bump.

Congrats again in order for Scotty McMahon going back to back with the Double Blues downing the Power B-grade by 1 point in the SANFL GF. Named in the bests again.

More tears for Poort LMAO!

Went to Norwood.

Not sure why I bothered even writing that. Perhaps I was concerned he was going to go back to Sturt?!

He would have been an amazing get for Sturt in that league with his elite skills.

Yep. The best thing since...
